Fix a typo on an invoice. Change a date on a contract. No computer, no software, no account. EDIT THE TEXT OF A PDF Tap a line, rewrite it. The original font, size and colour are kept — nothing else on the page moves. Almost no app can do this on a phone. SIGN AND ANNOTATE Your signature drawn with a finger, your stamps, text, drawings. Save your signatures and stamps once and they are waiting for you on the next document. SCAN The camera straightens the page by itself. Several pages in a row, colour, grey or black-and-white filters, and you can adjust the edges by hand. COMPRESS A PDF, some photos or a video, in three plain choices. The final size is written on every choice before you decide, and when a file cannot be made smaller, the app says so instead of making you wait. CONVERT Word to PDF, PDF to images, images to PDF. BLANK PAGE A real Word editor: headings, bold, colours, lists, and templates ready to write in — letter, note, invoice, report. CV AND COVER LETTER WRITTEN BY AI Answer a few questions and the AI writes. Professional templates, export to PDF or Word. NO SUBSCRIPTION The PDF tools, scanning, compression and signing are free and unlimited. The rest runs on credits: 1 credit = 1 document. You pay once for a document, then you export it as many times as you like, even after correcting it again. Credits never expire. NO ACCOUNT No sign-up. The PDF tools, scanning and compression work on your phone. Only the CV and the cover letter go through our server, for as long as it takes to write them. BookyAI speaks 17 languages.
