28 PDF tools that work in airplane mode. No account, no ads, nothing uploaded.
Your documents never leave your phone.
Turn on airplane mode and every tool still works. That is not a setting you switch
on, it is how the app is built. There is no server to upload to, no account to
create, and nothing to sign in with.
WHAT IT DOES
Read PDFs with a proper reader — continuous scrolling, pinch to zoom, jump to any
page.
Scan paper with the camera. Edges are found automatically and the result is a clean
PDF, not a photograph of a page.
Compress to get under an upload limit. Scanned documents typically shrink by 65 to
85 percent. Text-only PDFs barely move, and no tool anywhere does better on those.
Merge, split, extract pages, reorder, rotate, crop. Photos to PDF and PDF to photos.
Sign with your finger. Black out anything you do not want seen — the text is removed
from the file, not covered with a rectangle you can drag away.
Add text to a form that has no form fields. Add a watermark, page numbers, or a
header and footer. Make a scan searchable with on-device OCR in English or Hindi.
Set a password with AES encryption, or remove one you already know. Check a document
for hidden personal data before you send it. Compare two versions. Repair a file
that will not open.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Most PDF apps upload your file to a server, run the work there, and send it back.
Your bank statement, your contract, your medical letter — all of it, on somebody
else's computer. That is how they afford to be free.
This one does the work on your phone. The trade-off is honest: very large files are
limited by your phone's memory rather than by a data centre. In exchange, your
documents stay yours.
The app asks for no storage permission. It sees the one file you hand it and nothing
else on your phone. There is no advertising identifier. Compare the Data safety
section on this page with any other PDF app you are considering.
QUALITY OF THE OUTPUT
Merging, splitting, extracting and reordering are lossless. Pages are copied
byte-for-byte rather than re-drawn, so text stays selectable, links keep working, and
screen readers keep working. Many apps render each page to an image and rebuild the
file, which triples the size and quietly destroys all three.
Photos keep their original JPEG data wherever possible instead of being re-encoded,
and their orientation is read properly rather than guessed.
FREE, AND NOT A TRIAL
Every tool is free. Nothing is held back for a paid tier, there is no watermark on
anything the app produces, and no feature stops working after a number of uses.
There is a tip jar in Settings if you want to support the work. It changes nothing
about the app.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
It will not open a file you do not have the password for. It cannot recover or bypass
a password.
Very large scanned documents are limited by available memory. If a file is too big to
handle, the app says so rather than failing silently.
OCR covers English and Hindi. Other scripts are not supported yet.
