Highlight and take notes

Annotate PDF textbooks online

Quietpages lets you annotate PDF textbooks online while keeping the reading experience calm. Highlight key passages, add page notes, and keep those annotations with the book in your local library.

Study notes should stay close to the page

When notes live in another app, the link between a passage and your thinking gets weaker. Quietpages keeps notes anchored to the textbook page.

Highlight without breaking your flow

Use Quietpages to highlight PDF text online while the annotation tools stay out of the way of the reading surface.

Export when you need a copy

Download an annotated PDF when you want a flattened version for review, sharing, or archiving.
