About

Banana is a fast, private PDF viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad. View, edit, mark up and organise your PDFs — all offline, all on your device. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account to make and no cloud to sign into. Banana works exactly the same with the network off. FREE FOREVER • PDF viewer — smooth scrolling, pinch to zoom, thumbnails and a page grid • Search inside a document, with highlighted results, and Go to Page • Rotate, reorder, delete and extract pages • Merge several PDFs into one, or split one into many • Compress a PDF down to a size you can actually email • Add page numbers, or copy a page out as an image • Sign documents — draw your signature, place it, save it for reuse • Notes — add timestamped notes to any document • Password protection — lock with open and owner passwords • Group share — select several PDFs and send them by AirDrop, Mail or Messages • Open from anywhere — Banana appears in the Open In menu across iOS • Undo and redo any change, from the buttons beside the back arrow • Revert to the original — discard every edit and go back to the file as you imported it • Export the original untouched, whatever you have done to your copy Signatures and notes are written into the PDF itself, so they open the same way in Preview, Acrobat or anything else. ON iPAD AS WELL • Split View with side-by-side PDF comparison • Highlight, underline and strike through text WHAT COSTS MONEY Four things. Everything above stays free. • Document Scanner — camera scanning with edge detection and multi-page capture, $0.99 • Fill Forms — fill in form fields and keep the result, $0.99 • Text to PDF — comes with the unlock • Version history — save a version by name and restore it later; comes with the unlock Open a document and all four are free to try for 30 days. After that, one $2.99 purchase unlocks all of them, forever. It is a Universal Purchase: buy it on your iPhone and it is already unlocked on your iPad and on the Mac app, and the other way round. Already bought the Document Scanner or Fill Forms? You pay only the difference to move up to the full unlock, and you keep what you bought. No subscriptions. Ever. PRIVACY • 100% offline — documents never leave your device • No analytics, no tracking, no cloud uploads • No account required 14 LANGUAGES English, Deutsch, Français, 简体中文, 日本語, Español, 한국어, Português (Portugal), Português (Brasil), Italiano, Nederlands, Türkçe, Polski, Русский Also available on Mac, with more tools, workspaces, and split view with PDF comparison. The unlock covers both.

What's New in Banana Viewer

2.0.0

September 29, 2026

One payment. Everything unlocked. In order to simplify the application and to enable its further development we decided to change the store — now 1 life time payment gets you everything. • The 30-day trial now covers the Document Scanner and Fill Forms. Before this release those two sat outside it and asked to be bought even while the trial was running. • One $2.99 purchase now unlocks everything on iPhone, iPad and Mac together, rather than one purchase per feature. • Already bought the Document Scanner or Fill Forms? You pay only the difference to move up, and you keep what you bought either way. • Want just the one tool? The scanner and Fill Forms are still sold on their own. • Everything that was free stays free. Nothing that was free becomes paid. NEW IN THIS VERSION • Undo and redo. Every change you make to a document can be taken back, and put back again. From the buttons beside the back arrow. • Revert to original. Discard everything you have done and return to the file exactly as you imported it. Free, and itself undoable. • Export original. Send out the untouched file, whatever you have done to your copy. Free. • Version history. Save a version of a document by name and restore it later. Part of the unlock. • European Portuguese. Banana now speaks 14 languages. FIXED • The toolbar stayed in English whatever language you chose. Every button now speaks your language. • Reordering pages, adding page numbers, merging and extracting could leave you with blank pages. Fixed, and covered by tests. • Compressing a document could make it larger and strip out its text layer. Compression now refuses any result that is not genuinely smaller. • Password protection did not always encrypt, and saving an edit to a protected PDF removed its password. Both fixed; the file is re-encrypted with the passwords you set. • A PDF opened from Files or another app would show on screen but never make it into your library, and was gone the next time you opened Banana. Fixed.
