Scan paper documents to PDF, turn photos into clean files, edit pages, sign contracts, merge multiple PDFs, compress large files, extract text with OCR, and share polished copies -- all without an internet connection.

No account required. No cloud upload. Your documents stay on your device.

**SCAN DOCUMENTS TO PDF**
Point your camera at any paper document and PaperKit captures a clean, auto-cropped PDF in seconds. The built-in document scanner uses on-device AI to detect edges, correct perspective, and enhance readability. Choose between fast, balanced, or high-quality scan modes depending on the document.

**CREATE PDF FROM PHOTOS**
Select multiple photos or screenshots from your gallery and combine them into a single PDF. Reorder pages before export, adjust page size (A4 or Letter), and create the file in one pass. Ideal for receipts, notes, whiteboard captures, and forms.

**EDIT PDF PAGES**
Reorder pages with drag and drop. Delete, rotate, or extract specific pages. Split one PDF into two or more separate files. Every edit creates a new copy while the original stays safe.

**SIGN PDF DOCUMENTS**
Draw your signature once, save it, and place it on any document. Resize and position the signature exactly where you need it. Reuse saved signatures across documents for contracts, agreements, school forms, and official paperwork.

**ANNOTATE AND MARKUP**
Add pen strokes, highlights, text notes, and sticky notes directly on PDF pages. Use the eraser to correct mistakes. Save annotated copies without altering the original file.

**MERGE PDF FILES**
Combine two or more PDFs into a single document. Select files from your library, arrange the order, and merge with one tap. Useful for combining scanned pages, joining report sections, or bundling attachments before sending.

**COMPRESS PDF**
Reduce file size before sharing via email or messaging apps. Choose from high-quality, balanced, or small-size compression presets. Batch compress multiple files at once to save time.

**EXTRACT TEXT (OCR)**
Pull text from scanned documents and images using on-device text recognition. Copy extracted text to the clipboard for pasting into emails, notes, or other apps. No internet needed -- OCR runs entirely on your phone.

**LOCK AND PROTECT**
Set a password on any PDF to prevent unauthorized access. Unlock protected files by entering the password. Manage document security without leaving the app.

**ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY**
Browse all documents in a preview-first grid, compact list, or compact grid. Search by title or tag. Filter by category -- Work, Personal, School, or Receipts. Sort by date, size, or name. Everything is stored locally and loads instantly.

**SHARE ANYWHERE**
Send finished PDFs to Gmail, WhatsApp, or any app that accepts files. Save copies directly to your Downloads folder. The share flow is fast because there is no upload step -- files go straight from your device to the destination.
