Fix your CV or resume PDF without retyping it

Replace a supported single-line phone number, date, job title or typo in your CV PDF, inspect the result, and download without a watermark.

How it works

  1. Open your CV PDF. If you cannot select the text, it may be a scan or outlined artwork. OCR makes scans searchable but does not guarantee editing of their original visible text.
  2. Click the line you want to change (phone number, email, date, job title) and type the new text. Choose Fit to keep longer text inside the original area.
  3. Check the preview, keep your edits, then export and download the updated CV.

Works on PDFs with real, selectable text (for example exported from Word or Google Docs). Edits are single-line replacements; OCR can make a scanned CV searchable, but does not guarantee its original visible text can be edited.

When to use this tool

Update contact details, dates or a job title in a CV or resume exported from Word, Google Docs or a CV builder, without rebuilding the layout.

What to check before sharing

Edits replace one line at a time; paragraphs do not reflow. Replacement characters must be supported by the available font; unsupported characters can be rejected while preserving the original. Read the whole CV once more before sending it.

Supported files

Browser text editing. Single-line edits can shrink to fit the original area (minimum half size). Embedded fonts need available characters; scans and nested graphics have limitations. No paragraph reflow. Editing invalidates digital signatures.

Inputs: PDF. Performance depends on your device. Download important work before closing the browser; local storage is not a backup.

Troubleshooting
