## What is SwiftDocs?

Sign, markup, scan, and convert documents to PDF with SwiftDocs. Our PureSign™ system smooths out signatures to recreate the appearance of ink on the page.

SwiftDocs brings the power of a desktop document editor to your fingertips, while enabling you to markup documents more swiftly than you would on your computer. Sign documents in a few seconds with PureSign, our system that removes shaky lines from your eSignatures. Overlay text onto PDFs to fill out forms, using presets to save you from having to type out commonly asked questions. Scan, import, and export PDFs to manage all of your documents. Never let being away from a computer, printer, or scanner slow you down again. 

Sign documents professionally:
Quickly import a doc into the app, sign it, and send it. SwiftDocs allows you to create and store as many signatures as you want, perfect for if you need to initial or if you want to change the color of your signature. Esignatures usually have a tell-tale shakiness, but PureSign™ stabilizes your signature so it emulates the inking of a handwritten signature (it may look better than your actual signature). Save yourself a trip to the printer and the time involved. 

Add text to docs:
Markup your documents with text. SwiftDocs allows you to open up a text view in a single tap, making it quicker to edit on the app than on your desktop. You can also add preset values for your name, address, or other common pieces of information. 

Manage documents swiftly:
SwiftDocs simplifies your whole work flow for document management. It is the little things that matter, like having a document open to the markup area when you first import it, or adding a text view with the current date in a single tap. This convenience is exemplified by our Swift Markup feature, which saves you time when just need to create and markup a one page document. The app gets out of your way so you can just scan and sign your name on the dotted line, and then have it ready for your records and to send it to where it needs to go. 

SwiftDocs go anywhere you want them to:
SwiftDocs is the starting point for managing all of your documents on the go. From SwiftDocs you can print, email, airdrop, and even store your docs to your iCloud Drive. Is it a longer document you want to read? Save your doc to iBooks in just a tap. Anything you could possibly want to do with a document you can do from the app.

### 5/5 — Great tool for Documents!

*2026-07-03*

Great for managing Documents and easy to reuse  them and adjust the data in the forms for different people that I am sending them to. Also with the ability of adding e-signatures, it’s easy to do everything from one place.

### 5/5 — Great for Importing PDFs!

*2023-08-01*

I have found this app to be very helpful. It is great for importing PDFs and adding e-signatures to them. Customer service was also very responsive when I had a question.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work iPhone 14 pro max. Unusable.

*2023-07-22, version 5.0*

I was looking forward for a good PDF editor that didn’t have a continued subscription charges. I bought this and was very hopeful. When I tried the app, there is a big pause at the bottom with which I had hoped to be able to load PDF files. One can do from there is to create a PDF file or take a picture. There is no way to import PDF files from other PDF storage file programs that you may have. In addition, if I email a PDF file, and try to further manipulate it, the swift duck program is not listed as a choice in the program options. The app has been registered on the phone and it will come up if I search for it in the desktop. However, there seems to be no way to import any PDF program into it. perhaps a rewriting of the code will correct this error, but in the meantime it is simply unusable

### 5/5 — Streamlines my work

*2023-07-14, version 5.0*

I LOVE that I can do this all from my phone! No more fooling around with my scanner, I can do everything in minutes and then send it right off.

### 5/5 — Easy to scan and sign

*2023-03-12*

SwiftDocs has come in handy when I’ve needed to scan a document, really easy to add esignatures which is great
