Free PDF tools for iPhone and iPad

Sign documents, fill in forms, edit text and turn photos into PDFs on your iPhone or iPad, right in Safari. No App Store download, no account, and your files stay on your device.

How to sign a PDF on iPhone

  1. Open Sign PDF in Safari.
  2. Tap Choose a PDF and pick the document from Files. A PDF from an email can be saved to Files first.
  3. Draw your signature with your finger, or type it.
  4. Drag it into place, save, and find the signed PDF in Files, in your Downloads folder.

How to fill in a PDF form on iPhone

  1. Open Fill PDF forms and choose the form.
  2. Type your answers, tick boxes and choose options.
  3. Save the filled form. Add your signature with Sign PDF if it needs one.

How to turn photos into a PDF on iPhone

  1. Open JPG to PDF.
  2. Tap Choose and pick photos from your library. Safari normally hands over iPhone photos as JPG.
  3. Put them in order, choose the page size, and save one PDF.

How to edit a PDF on iPad

Edit PDF works the same way on iPad: open the document, tap a line to change its words, or add text, highlights and drawings, then save.

What about Markup?

Markup, built into iPhone and iPad, is handy for scribbling and signing. Plainpage adds what Markup doesn’t do: changing the existing text of a PDF, merging, compressing, converting to Word, password protection and redaction.

Add it to your Home Screen

In Safari, open any Plainpage tool, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. Plainpage then opens full-screen like an app, with no App Store download, and keeps working offline.

Questions

Do I need to download an app?

No. Plainpage runs in Safari on iPhone and iPad. You can add it to your Home Screen so it opens like an app, but there is nothing to download from the App Store.

How do I sign a document on my iPhone for free?

Open Sign PDF in Safari, choose the PDF, draw your signature with your finger and save. It is free, with no account.

Where does the PDF save?

Safari saves downloads to the Files app, in the Downloads folder, unless you have chosen a different location in Settings.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. The tools run on your iPhone or iPad, inside Safari. Your files never leave your device.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once a tool has loaded. Add Plainpage to your Home Screen and the tools keep working without a connection.
