All-in-One PDF Editor App for iPhone & Android
Scan, Convert, Edit, and Sign PDFs in seconds — free, offline, no account needed
Why PDF Tools Are Frustrating
If you've ever needed to edit a PDF on your phone, you know the drill. Most solutions have the same three problems:
Adobe Acrobat costs $20+ per month. For something you use a few times a year, that's a bad deal.
Web-based tools upload your documents to unknown servers. Your contracts, tax forms, and medical records shouldn't be in the cloud.
Enterprise PDF software is built for teams and complex workflows. You just need to sign a lease or convert a file.
PDF Editor solves this. It's a free app that works entirely on your device — no subscriptions, no uploads, no complicated toolbars. Just the features that most people actually need, offline, whenever you need them.
Everything You Need to Work with PDFs
Scan to PDF with OCR
Turn your phone into a document scanner. Capture any document with your camera — the app automatically corrects perspective, enhances clarity, and uses OCR to extract searchable text.
