Bring your reading, notes and everyday PDF tasks together with KayaPDF. Review study material, mark up a report or prepare selected pages to share—all from your phone or tablet, with no account required. Create PDFs from paper documents and photos. Scan with your camera, review the captured pages, or select photos and arrange them in the order you want. Save the result to your library, then annotate, sign or share it. You can also export the current PDF page or selected pages as JPG or PNG images. Scanner availability depends on your device. Read at your own pace with continuous scrolling and zoom. Search document text, jump to a page or use an available table of contents. Select and copy passages across pages, then highlight the parts you want to return to. Make each document useful to you. Add highlights and notes, draw by hand and undo or redo changes as you work. Supported styluses adjust stroke width with pressure. Fill supported form fields and place a handwritten signature on the page. Put pages in the right order, combine pages from different PDFs or extract the pages you need into a new file. Share the current page, selected pages or the whole document with your saved annotations. Work on private copies and choose when to save or share your results. Turn scanned pages into useful text with on-device OCR. Review recognized text, search it, copy it or export a text file. Create a searchable PDF copy to find words in your scans while keeping the source unchanged. Keep your documents together in the library. Create a library backup, restore it when needed and recover files from Recently Deleted. The app interface is available in 20 languages. Form, OCR and export support varies by document, language and device; protected or digitally signed PDFs and XFA forms have limitations. PDF content is processed on your device. App usage analytics is optional; advertising and text recognition services may process technical data as explained in the privacy policy. KayaPDF has no purchases or subscriptions. Banner ads appear only in the library; the reader and PDF tools have no banners.
