Q: Is adding Chinese text supported?
Yes. You can enter Chinese directly when adding text. The tool auto-renders Chinese characters as an image embedded into the PDF to ensure correct display.

The origin is the bottom-left corner of the page. X increases to the right; Y increases upward. Unit is points (1 pt ≈ 0.35 mm). A4 is 595 pt wide and 842 pt tall.
Q: Are files uploaded to the server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Q: How do I redact sensitive info?
Choose the "Redact sensitive info" type, set the coordinates and size of the area to redact, and a solid black rectangle will cover it.
