About

PDFShift Pro

Read full description

PDFShift Pro is a flexible PDF workspace that lets you manage documents from the first scan to the final share on a single device. You can capture paper pages with your camera and instantly turn them into crisp, readable PDF files, without needing a desktop scanner. The app also allows you to create PDFs from images in your gallery, making it ideal for organizing notes, receipts, and other important photos into structured documents. You can merge multiple files into one, rearrange the page order, and rotate individual pages so every document stays neat and easy to follow. PDFShift Pro includes intuitive page editing tools that help you clean up layouts and keep your content clear and professional. A built‑in signature feature lets you sign contracts, agreements, and other official documents directly on your phone or tablet, eliminating print‑and‑scan routines. When your document is ready, you can export it in various formats and share it with teammates, clients, or save it straight to your favorite cloud service. The free version gives you a limited number of scans and editing actions so you can get familiar with the core workflow before committing. Upgrading removes these restrictions and unlocks more advanced editing, merging, and export options, allowing PDFShift Pro to handle both everyday paperwork and more demanding professional tasks with ease.
