Add Shapes to PDF helps you mark up plans, screenshots, forms and reports: draw a box around a total, circle a mistake, or add an arrow that points at the part that needs attention. Choose rectangle, ellipse, line or arrow, a color and a line thickness, then drag on the page. Rectangles and ellipses can be outlined or filled. Shapes can be moved, resized and deleted at any time. Everything happens inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device.

Questions
Can I change a shape after drawing it?
Yes. Select it to move it, resize it from the corner, or change its color and thickness.
Can I cover text with a shape?
A filled rectangle covers what is under it, but the content stays in the file. Use Redact to remove private information.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Tap and drag with your finger; drawing works with a finger or a stylus.
