Your documents never leave your computer. It's the private alternative to online PDF tools that upload your files. ✍️ EVERY TOOL, UNLOCKED There's no "basic" tier of tools here — free and Pro use the exact same editor. • Add and edit text (right‑to‑left supported) • Highlight, draw, add shapes, arrows and notes • Sign: draw, type in a script font, or upload — place once, or in the same spot on every page • Insert images and edit them in place — crop, rotate, adjust color and transparency • Opens every common image format, including multi‑page TIFF scans and iPhone HEIC photos — all decoded on your device • Rubber stamps (Approved, Confidential, Draft…) • Merge, split, reorder, rotate and delete pages • Page numbering, headers, watermarks & Bates numbering • Links: add, auto‑detect and validate • True redaction that removes the content underneath — not just a black box • Auto‑detect finds national IDs, phone numbers, credit cards, emails and IP addresses, so you don't have to hunt for what to redact • Clean hidden metadata • Convert images ↔ PDF • Find & replace across the whole document — one undo step for "replace all" • Save your entire work session as a portable project file and continue on any other computer • Convert Word (.docx) to PDF — entirely on your device, the only converter that never uploads • Batch‑process many files at once (Pro) • Compare two versions of a document (Pro) 💚 FREE: 3 DOCUMENTS A DAY, EVERY TOOL INCLUDED Every tool above — including redaction and auto‑detect — is free to use, up to 3 exported documents a day.
