About
Scan, merge, compress and sign PDFs — every tool is free, with no watermarks, no account and no subscription. Your files are processed on your device and never uploaded.
SCAN
• Scan documents with automatic edge detection
• Crisp black & white mode for text, plus colour and greyscale
• Re-crop, rotate and reorder pages before saving
• Make scans searchable with on-device text recognition
EDIT
• Sign PDFs: draw or type your signature, add the date, text and ticks
• Organize pages: reorder, rotate, delete, duplicate, insert and extract
• Add watermarks like CONFIDENTIAL or COPY
• Add page numbers in six positions and four formats
CONVERT
• Merge PDFs and photos into one file
• Split PDFs by page, by range or every few pages
• Compress PDFs for email and upload limits — or set a target size, like "under 2 MB"
• Turn photos into PDFs with A4, Letter or fit-to-photo pages
• Copy text from any scan or photo PDF
• Extract images from PDFs, or save pages as images
SECURITY
• Add a password to a PDF
• Remove a password you know
QR CODES THAT NEVER EXPIRE
• Create QR codes for links, Wi-Fi, contacts, email, phone, SMS, UPI payments and locations
• The information is stored in the code itself, so it keeps working without any server
• Every code is tested before you save it
• Printable sheets with 1, 4, 12 or 24 codes per page, with cut lines
• Scan QR codes and see where a link really goes before opening it
WORKS THE WAY YOU DO
• Files app and "Open in PlainPDF" from Mail, Messages and other apps
• Designed for iPhone and iPad, in light and dark mode
FREE, HONESTLY
Every tool is free with ads. PlainPDF Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads, adds batch processing for many files at once, and unlimited text recognition on large documents. No subscription, ever.
No account. Your files never leave your iPhone.
