Scan, Convert, Edit, and Sign PDFs in seconds — free, offline, no account needed
If you've ever needed to edit a PDF on your phone, you know the drill. Most solutions have the same three problems:
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.
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.
Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, or images and vice versa. Need a DOCX from a PDF? Turn a spreadsheet into a shareable PDF? Done in seconds, all on your phone.
Make changes directly to your PDFs. Highlight text, add notes, draw diagrams, reorder pages — all from your phone or tablet without sending files anywhere.
Sign documents legally and securely without printing. Draw your signature or type it, fill form fields with a tap, and send back signed documents in under a minute.
Organize your documents your way. Merge files into one PDF, split large documents, compress for email, or lock sensitive files with a password.
Watch how PDF Editor handles real-world tasks — from scanning a receipt to signing a contract — in under 60 seconds.
You receive a lease as a PDF. Page 12 needs your signature. No printer, no Adobe subscription. Open PDF Editor, draw your signature, email it back — signed in under 2 minutes.
Submitting an application that requires a PDF? Your file is in Word format. Convert it directly on your phone — no internet, no online converter, no uploading private documents.
Snap photos of receipts with your camera. PDF Editor straightens them, extracts the text via OCR, and saves them as organized PDFs. No messy photo library.
DMV, IRS, or insurance sends you a PDF with form fields. Fill it on your phone, sign it, and submit digitally — no printing, no scanning required.
Combine a cover letter, resume, and references into one PDF. Merge loan documents for your bank. Select the files, tap merge — one shareable PDF, done.
Before sharing a contract, hide your salary figures or personal details using drawing and text tools. Share only what you intend to share.
Designed for real-world use — clean interface, no learning curve, instant results.
