Editify puts 21 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, 21 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 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. ORGANIZE • Merge PDFs: combine two or more files into one • Split PDF: every page, every few pages or your own ranges • Extract Pages: save the pages you choose as a new PDF • Delete Pages, Rotate Pages, Crop Pages • Compress PDF (Pro): three quality levels, with the size before and after CONVERT TO PDF • Image to PDF: JPG, PNG and HEIC • Document to PDF: TXT, RTF and Word (DOCX) • Web Page to PDF: save a web page as a PDF • Camera Scanner: scan paper documents with your camera CONVERT FROM PDF • PDF to Word (Pro): a Word file with each page placed as an image. The layout looks the same; the text is not editable. • PDF to Image (Pro): JPG or PNG, all pages or the ones you pick • Text Recognition (OCR) (Pro): turn scanned pages into a PDF you can search and copy text from SIGN & SECURITY • Sign PDF (Pro): draw, type or add your signature from an image, or sign with your certificate (.p12/.pfx) • Protect PDF: add a password and choose whether printing and copying are allowed • Add Watermark: text or image, on every page or on one VIEW & EDIT • Edit PDF (Pro): add text, images, drawings and shapes, or replace a block of text or an image • Add Page Numbers • Edit Metadata: title, author, subject and keywords • Annotate PDF: highlight, underline, strike through, add notes and text FREE AND PRO You can open and try every tool for free and see the result before you decide. • 15 tools are free. Files you save or share from them carry a small “Edited by Editify” watermark. • The 6 Pro tools are Compress PDF, PDF to Word, PDF to Image, Text Recognition, Sign PDF and Edit PDF. Saving or sharing their results needs Editify Pro. • Pro also removes the watermark from every tool. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your documents are processed on your device and never sent to a server or an AI service. • The only tool that goes online is Web Page to PDF, to load the page you enter. • No account, no ads, no tracking. • Open PDFs from Files, Mail and other apps. ABOUT EDITIFY PRO Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy.
