## What is PDF Tools?

Everyday PDF jobs, finished on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and your original file is never changed.

MAKE AND MANAGE PDFS
• Images to PDF — make one PDF from images selected in Files or Photos, or captured with Camera. Arrange them your way on A4 or Letter pages.
• Merge PDF — combine several PDFs into one and reorder them before saving.
• Split PDF — export a page range, selected pages, or single pages as separate files.
• Organize Pages — reorder, rotate, and delete pages, then save once when you are done.
• Compress PDF — try to reduce the size of image-heavy PDFs before emailing or sharing.
• Protect PDF — add an open password.
• Unlock PDF — enter the password once and save a copy that no longer needs it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Once your files are available on this device, all seven tools work without an internet connection. File names, page thumbnails, document text, and passwords are never sent anywhere. There are no ads and no analytics SDKs. Long jobs show progress and can be cancelled.

FREE AND PRO
Every tool has a free path that finishes a real task. No tool is locked, and nothing is watermarked. Free includes up to 10 images per PDF, merging 3 files and 50 pages, splitting into 5 outputs at a time, and organizing up to 50 pages. Pro offers higher limits. All Compress presets are free. Protect and Unlock are free without limits. Pro is a one-time purchase for your Apple Account, not a subscription. Buying or restoring Pro goes through the App Store and may require an internet connection.

MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES
• Files, Photos, and Camera are supported; only the items you select or capture are read.
• On iPad, a two-column layout appears at regular widths.
• Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels on page thumbnails, Reduce Motion, and Dark Mode are included.
• Every drag-to-reorder action also has a button or menu alternative.

PDF Tools is a focused toolkit, not a full editor: it does not run OCR, edit text inside a PDF, or fill in forms.
