Most people install one app to read PDFs, another to scan, a website to compress and a laptop to edit. PDF Tools puts more than 40 of these jobs in one app that works offline and never uploads your files.

How the app is organised

  • Home: open a PDF to edit, scan paper, create a new PDF, pick up where you left off, and quick tools for Sign, Merge, Shrink, Pages and Lock.
  • Files: every PDF on your phone, with folders, favourites, search inside files and a recycle bin.
  • Tools: every tool in groups (Edit, Fill and sign, Pages, Convert, Protect and shrink, Read and print), with a search box for what you want to do.
  • Settings: 10 languages, app lock and hiding your files from the recent apps screen.

Why it is different

  • Works offline: editing, scanning and converting happen on your device.
  • Private: your files stay on your phone and are never uploaded to our servers.
  • No account, no sign-up and no watermark on your documents.
  • Made for phones and tablets, in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese and Arabic.
  • Free to use, supported by ads; one short video removes ads for 30 minutes.
