## What is Private PDF Tools?

Private PDF Tools is a calm, privacy-first PDF utility for people who want to work with documents without uploading files to a server.

Import PDF files, merge multiple documents into a packet, compress large PDFs, scan paper documents, convert images into PDFs, preview output files, search extracted text, rename documents, copy text, and share exports from a simple local library.

Everything is designed for everyday document work: receipts, notes, forms, letters, school files, client paperwork, and personal records. PDF processing runs locally on your device. Your documents stay in app storage unless you choose to share or export them.

Free users can process up to 5 PDFs per day, save up to 10 documents, and process up to 25 pages per PDF. Private PDF Tools Pro supports heavier personal or professional use with a larger local PDF workspace, longer documents, merge/compress output proof, searchable text, and export-ready packets.

Key features:
- Import one or more PDF files
- Merge selected PDFs into a single packet
- Compress PDFs locally
- Scan paper documents into PDFs
- Convert images into PDFs
- Review page count, file size, preview, and output status
- Extract searchable text when available
- Rename, search, copy, share, and delete documents
- Local-only storage with no developer-server upload
- StoreKit 2 subscriptions for Pro access
