Paper in. Searchable PDF out.
Foldline is a PDF editor and scanner for iPhone and iPad. Scan paper into PDFs, change the text on a page, fill in and sign forms, mark up pages, and merge, split, compress, redact or convert files. Everything happens on your device: no account, no uploads, no internet connection needed.
FREE, AND PRO FOR LIFE
• Free: scan to PDF, images to PDF, fill and sign forms, highlight and mark up, reorder and rotate pages, and search and share your PDFs.
• Foldline Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks the rest: editing a page’s text, text recognition (OCR), merge, split and extract, compression, redaction, password protection, watermarks, and PDF to images or text.
• Try every Pro tool except Merge on one PDF for free before you buy.
• No subscription: buy once, use it on all your devices with your Apple Account.
SCAN PAPER TO PDF
• Scan receipts, letters, contracts and forms. The camera finds each page’s edges and straightens it.
• Capture many pages into one PDF, then crop, rotate, reorder or retake any of them.
EDIT THE TEXT ON THE PAGE (PRO)
• Double-tap a paragraph or a table cell and type. Fix a date, a name or a price in seconds.
• Choose the font, size, bold, italic, underline, alignment and color.
• The old words are removed from the page, not hidden, so they can’t be found or copied later.
• On a scanned page the words are part of the picture, so they’re covered with the page’s color instead.
FIND ANY WORD, EVEN IN SCANS (PRO)
• Text recognition (OCR) makes scanned pages searchable, here and in other apps, so you can find, select and copy their words.
• Reads English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and more.
FILL & SIGN
• Type into PDF form fields, check boxes and choose options.
• On scanned or flat forms, add text and check marks wherever you need them.
• Draw your signature once and reuse it, with the date beside it if you like.
HIGHLIGHT & MARK UP
• Highlight, underline and strike through text.
• Draw with a pen or marker, and erase strokes you don’t want.
• Add text, sticky notes, links, and shapes such as arrows, stars and check marks.
• Your original stays untouched until you tap Save.
ORGANIZE PAGES
• Reorder, rotate, duplicate and delete pages in a thumbnail grid.
• Pro: merge PDFs into one, in the order you choose.
• Pro: split a PDF by page ranges, or extract chosen pages into a new file.
COMPRESS & CONVERT
• Pro: compress a PDF so it’s easy to email or upload. Only photos and scans shrink; text, links and form fields stay as they are.
• Images to PDF: combine JPEG, PNG and HEIC images into one document.
• Pro: PDF to images, as PNG or JPEG at screen, standard or high resolution.
• Pro: PDF to text, as a .txt file. Scanned pages are recognized first.
REDACT & PROTECT (PRO)
• Redact names, account numbers and signatures: find every match, select text, draw a box or mark a whole page.
• What’s under the boxes is removed from the new PDF, not just covered, so it can’t be searched, copied or uncovered.
• Password-protect a PDF, and limit printing, copying and changes.
• Stamp a text or image watermark, such as CONFIDENTIAL or your logo, on the pages you choose.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your documents stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, not even for text recognition.
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription.
• A file leaves the app only when you share or export it.
THE DETAILS
• Open PDFs from Mail, Files and other apps with the Share button.
• If the app closes mid-edit, your unsaved changes are kept.
• Supports Dark Mode and larger text sizes.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Your signature is a handwritten mark on the page, not a certificate-based digital signature.
• Edited text is set in one of six common fonts, matched as closely as possible to the original.
• If a drawing runs under a redaction box, that page is saved as a picture of the page, without selectable text.
