Editify puts 22 PDF tools in one app, and every one of them works right on your iPhone or iPad. Edit, sign, scan and convert PDFs without uploading anything. No account. No ads. YOUR DOCUMENT, 22 WAYS Pick a document and the Home tab shows it after each tool: rotated, signed, locked, compressed. Each tile tells you what will change, such as “42 → 41 pages” or the estimated file size. PDF tools open with that document already loaded, and your recent documents sit in a film strip at the top. ASK THE DOCUMENT (AI CHAT) Summarize a document and ask it questions with Apple Intelligence, entirely on device: “How much is the deposit?” Every answer shows the page it comes from. Free on devices that support Apple Intelligence.
