Keep your PDF library tidy by syncing titles to filenames, compress and merge documents, make scans searchable with on-device OCR, redact, watermark, sign and fill forms — all on your device, never in the cloud.

No account, no uploads, no tracking. Your PDFs live in PDFloki's folder in the Files app, where you can add and remove them directly. FREE AND PRO The core tools — titles and metadata, merge, split, search, duplicate finder — are free forever. Every Pro tool is free to try for 7 days; after that PDFloki Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription. Works on iPhone and iPad, and on the Mac with the same tools — one Pro purchase unlocks all of them.
