## What is Origami PDF?

Origami PDF is built around one idea that no other PDF app on the App Store offers: a visual Pipeline that chains multiple PDF operations into a single, repeatable workflow.

Stack steps — Compress → Watermark → Page numbers → Grayscale → OCR → Encrypt — and run them in one tap on one PDF or a batch of them. Save your favourite chains as Pipeline Templates and re-use them. Three built-in templates (Share-ready, Archive, Professional) get you started; the rest you build yourself.

Everything is on-device. No account, no cloud upload, no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no ads, no subscription.

WHAT MAKES ORIGAMI DIFFERENT

■ PIPELINE — the headline feature
A visual builder that stacks PDF operations into a workflow. Run on one document or many. Save as a custom template. Re-run from Siri or Shortcuts with one phrase ("Run a Origami PDF pipeline"). This is what sets Origami apart from every other PDF utility on the store.

■ SEARCHABLE PDF — scans you can search
Add an invisible on-device OCR text layer to a scanned PDF so words become selectable, copyable, searchable. Powered by Apple's Vision framework — no upload.

■ SHORTCUTS & SIRI READY
Every key tool is exposed as an App Intent: "Scan a document with Origami PDF", "Merge PDFs with Origami PDF", "Compress a PDF with Origami PDF", "Photos to PDF in Origami PDF", "Open Pipeline in Origami PDF". Wire them into Siri, the Shortcuts app, Home Screen widgets, or Personal Automations.

■ A CALMER WAY TO WORK
A floating action dock with a single "+" puts document creation one tap away from anywhere. Clean light theme, document cards with live previews, smooth haptics — no clutter.

CAPTURE
- Scan — camera document scanner with auto edge detection and multi-page output
- Photos to PDF — combine images into a single PDF
- Import — bring in PDFs, images and text files from the Files app
- Text to PDF — type or paste text and export a clean PDF

ORGANIZE
- Merge several PDFs in your chosen order
- Split into smaller PDFs
- Rotate pages
- Organize pages — drag to reorder, rotate, delete or extract
- Folders, tags & smart filters keep your library tidy

CONVERT
- PDF to Images (export pages as PNG)
- PDF to Text (extract plain text)
- PDF to Word — export editable RTF that opens in Word and Pages
- Compress — smart: keeps text pages crisp & selectable, shrinks scanned pages (Smallest / Balanced / Best quality)
- Grayscale — convert to black & white

SECURE
- Protect a PDF with a password
- Remove a known password

EDIT
- Sign — draw your signature with Apple Pencil or finger and stamp it on the page
- Annotate — highlight and draw freehand
- Watermark — stamp text across every page
- Page numbers — number every page
- Recognize text (OCR) — extract text from scans and PDFs with Apple's on-device Vision
- Searchable PDF — bake an invisible OCR text layer into a scan
- Fill forms — detect PDF form fields (text & checkboxes) and fill them in
- Stamp — APPROVED, DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a date, or your own custom seal

PREVIEW EVERYTHING
Open PDFs, images and text right inside the app. Saved files also appear in the iOS Files app — nothing is locked away.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN — NO DATA COLLECTED
Every scan, OCR pass and conversion happens on your device. Origami makes no network requests for its features: no cloud, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your documents never leave your iPhone.

17 LANGUAGES
English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional). Switch language instantly, no restart.

Origami PDF is completely free — every tool unlocked, no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
