Click the page, place your text
Type the replacement text, pick a size, and click exactly where it goes — the page renders live with a marker for every overlay. Tick cover-behind to paint an opaque box over the old text first.
Safe for quiet corrections
Click to place replacement text over typos in contracts and resumes. Every overlay is painted locally in your browser, so the original file never uploads.
