PocketDocsWhat each tool is for, when to reach for it, and what it can do. Every one of them runs on your device - nothing here uploads a file.
Combine, split and rearrange the pages of a PDF.
Combine several PDFs into a single document, in the order you choose.
Use it when several files need to arrive as one document - a signed form, its attachments and a cover letter.
Break a PDF into separate documents by range, by size, or page by page.
Use it when one long PDF needs to become several - a chapter each, or files small enough to send.
Rearrange, rotate and delete pages on a visual page board.
Use it when the pages are all there but in the wrong order, upside down, or with a blank you want gone.
This is the one to use when you need more than one of those things - it does all three in a single pass.
Open OrganizeRotate every page, or just the ones you pick.
Use it when a scan came out sideways or upside down.
Pick the pages to remove and save what is left.
Use it when a document carries pages nobody needs - a fax cover sheet, a blank back, a duplicate.
Choose the pages you want and save them as a new document.
Use it when you need a few pages out of a long document and nothing else.
Extract keeps what you pick as one new file. Split cuts the whole document into pieces.
Open Extract pagesSign, fill, mark up, number, crop and redact.
Draw, type or upload a signature, then drag it onto the page.
Use it when a document needs your signature and you would rather not print, sign and scan it.
Fill a PDF form on the page itself - and add boxes to one that has none.
Use it when a PDF needs filling in and you would rather type than print, write and scan.
A box you draw becomes a real form field, so the next person can fill it in too.
Open Fill formAdd a text watermark to a PDF or an image, once or tiled across the whole thing.
Use it when a document should not be mistaken for the final version - DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a company name.
Add page numbers in any corner, starting from any number.
Use it when a document that was assembled from parts needs numbering that runs straight through.
Drag a crop region on the page and apply it across the document.
Use it when pages carry margins, scanner edges or crop marks that should not be there.
Black out regions and destroy the content underneath.
Use it when something in a document must not be readable by whoever receives it.
This genuinely deletes the content. A black rectangle drawn in most editors can still be copied out from underneath; this cannot.
Open RedactTurn images, documents and ebooks into a PDF.
Turn JPG, PNG and WebP images into a single PDF.
Use it when photographs of a document need to become a document.
Set a Markdown file as a PDF - headings, lists, tables and code, laid out properly.
Use it when notes or a README need to become something you can send.
Set a plain text file as a PDF, with paragraphs where the blank lines are.
Use it when a plain text file needs to become a document.
Set an HTML file as a PDF: headings, text, lists and tables, without the layout.
Use it when a saved web page or an exported report needs to be a PDF.
Set a CSV file as a PDF table, with the columns sized to what is in them.
Use it when a spreadsheet export needs to be readable by someone without a spreadsheet.
Set an EPUB ebook as a PDF, chapter by chapter, in reading order.
Use it when an ebook needs to be printable or readable on something that will not open EPUB.
Get pictures, text and tables back out of one.
Render PDF pages as JPG images, at the quality you choose.
Use it when a page needs to go somewhere that will not take a PDF - a slide, a chat, a web page.
Render PDF pages as lossless PNG images.
Use it when a page needs to become an image that keeps crisp edges - a diagram, a logo, a screenshot.
PNG keeps lines and text sharp and makes larger files. JPG is smaller and better for photographs.
Open PDF to PNGTake the images out of a PDF at the size and quality they were put in.
Use it when you need the photographs out of a PDF, not pictures of the pages they sit on.
Different from PDF to JPG, which renders whole pages. Use that for what a page looks like, this for what is in it.
Open Extract imagesFind the tables in a PDF or an image and turn them into a spreadsheet you can edit, on your device.
Use it when the numbers you need are locked in a table inside a PDF.
Rebuild a PDF as a Word document you can edit - paragraphs, headings and tables - on your device.
Use it when a PDF needs editing and you do not have the file it was made from.
Make a PDF smaller, or make a scan searchable.
Reduce the size of your PDF directly in your browser.
Use it when a PDF is too large to email or upload, and a portal is rejecting it for size.
A PDF that is mostly text is already small. If compressing barely helps, the size is coming from scanned pages or photographs.
Open CompressFind the words in a scanned PDF and add them to it, so the document can be searched and copied.
Use it when a PDF is a picture of text - you cannot select a word or search for one.
Add or remove a password, and fix a form in place.
Encrypt a PDF with a password, using AES-256.
Use it when a document should only open for someone who knows the password.
Remove encryption from a PDF you have the password for.
Use it when you have the password and are tired of typing it every time you open the file.
This needs the correct password. It does not break encryption and will not open a document you cannot already open.
Open UnlockBake form fields and annotations into the page so they cannot be edited.
Use it when a filled form keeps being edited, or annotations move when someone else opens it.
Flatten stops editing. Protect stops opening. They solve different problems and can be used together.
Open FlattenSee what changed, and what a file says about you.
See what a PDF says about you, and remove it.
Use it when a document is going somewhere it should not carry your name, your software or your working notes.
Words printed on the page are part of the page - Redact removes those. Comments sit above the page, so they come off cleanly.
Open CleanPut two versions of a document side by side and see every word that was added, removed or rewritten.
Use it when two versions of a contract, a policy or a statement are in front of you and you need to know exactly what moved.
A page with no text layer is recognised first, so a scan can be compared against the document it came from.
Open CompareClean up, enlarge, cut out and convert pictures.
Separate the subject from its background and save it with transparency.
Use it when a photo needs its subject on a clean background - a headshot, a product shot, a signature on paper.
Convert an image to JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, at the quality you choose.
Use it when something will only accept one image format and you have another.
Shrink an image by scaling it down and re-encoding it, with the real size shown.
Use it when an image is too heavy for a page, an email or an upload limit.
Turn a phone photo of a document into something that reads like a scan.
Use it when you photographed a page instead of scanning it, and it looks like a photograph.
It cleans up what the camera caught. Text too blurred to read in the photograph is still too blurred afterwards.
Open Scan cleanup
