Your PDF never leaves this device

Mark up and measure a PDF

CAD-style markup for drawings and documents: lines, arrows, dimensions, shapes and text, with a magnet that snaps to the lines already inside your PDF.

The Vuiso PDF Editor with a floor plan marked up with dimensions, a shaded area and a note

Tools, shapes, colours, page thumbnails and layers all sit in one left sidebar, so the drawing keeps the full width of the stage.

Built for drawings,
not just documents

Everything is drawn as vector and merged back into the original PDF, so it stays sharp at any zoom or print size, with labels that remain selectable, searchable text.

AutoCAD-style dimensions

Drag A to B, pull the dimension line out, then type the value and unit. Extension lines, arrowheads and label, done properly. Figures are always typed by hand. The program never invents a measurement from the drawing.

A magnet that grabs the PDF itself

Snaps to annotation corners, to any point along an edge, and, unusually, to the dark lines of the underlying drawing. Start a dimension exactly on a wall, not near it. The crosshair sits on the snapped point, so you see where the click lands before you press.

Lines, arrows, curves, text, images

Plus rectangle, rounded, ellipse, triangle, cloud and polygon, each with its own stroke colour, fill colour and 5 to 100% opacity, so a blue outline over light yellow shading keeps the drawing underneath readable.

Five typefaces, bold, italic, underline

Helvetica, Times and Courier (the ones a PDF carries without a font file), plus Roboto and PT Serif, which the tool ships itself and writes into the exported file, so the page looks the same on a machine that has never heard of them. Any combination of bold, italic and underline, on notes, dimension labels and area labels; restyle something already placed by selecting it first. Either way the exported label stays selectable, searchable text rather than a picture of text.

Real editing, not stamps

Select one or many: shift-click, Ctrl+A, or sweep a box (blue catches what is fully inside, green catches whatever it touches). Drag the blue points to reshape, hold Shift to lock straight, reorder in the Layers panel, copy and paste between pages.

Pages and layers in one sidebar

A scrollable thumbnail strip marks every page that already carries annotations. Thumbnails render in the background, whatever you scroll to gets drawn first, so a hundred-page drawing set opens instantly.

Save the markup, or export the PDF

Save Project writes a small .json of annotations and leaves the original PDF untouched. Export PDF shows a confirmation first, listing the source file, the annotation count and which pages are marked, and only then writes the merged file.

Your file stays
on this device.

Most free online PDF editors send your file to somebody else's computer, then ask you to trust that it really was deleted afterwards. Vuiso does not work that way. Everything happens inside your own device, exactly like opening a file in a program installed on your computer.

The easiest way to check: switch off your Wi‑Fi or unplug your internet, then use it as usual. Everything still works. A tool that quietly sends your file to someone else's server could not do that. As an extra safeguard, the page is locked down from the start, so your own browser blocks anything that tries to send data out.

When you use Vuiso

  • ✓Your file is opened and processed on your own device
  • ✓The result saves straight to your own folder
  • ✓Keeps working with the internet switched off
  • ✓Nothing is sent over the internet
  • ✓Works without an account, email or sign-in
  • ✓Nothing is kept on a server

One key per tool

Esc always finishes what you are drawing and returns to Select. It never throws the work away.
