No account required. Most actions work fully offline on your device.

◼ Core tools
• Merge PDFs
• Split PDF by specific pages (e.g., 1,3,5–8)
• Images → PDF (A4/Letter/Legal, margins, orientation, quality, grayscale)
• PDF → JPG (export pages as images)
• Compress PDF (reduce file size)
• Scan to PDF (auto-crop, multi-page) powered by Google ML Kit
• Word → PDF (DOCX to PDF)
• PDF → Word:
– Editable text (basic extraction)
– Keep design (preserves layout as page images; not for heavy editing)
• Annotate PDFs (pen, highlighter, text notes)
• Quick open & history of recent exports

◼ Designed for privacy
• Files stay on your device; conversions run locally whenever possible
• No sign-in, no cloud upload by default
• Optional ads; consent managed by Google. You can turn off ads with Pro.

◼ Pro (optional, one-time)
• Remove ads with a single in-app purchase
• Restore your purchase anytime

◼ Why Pulse PDF?
• Simple, clean UI that’s easy to use
• Works great for receipts, homework, contracts, tickets, and forms
• Optimized for speed and small output sizes

Notes:
• “PDF → Word (Keep design)” places each page as an image inside the DOCX to preserve layout.
• Complex PDFs may not convert with 100% fidelity; we continually improve results. ## Rankings - #973,412 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.parviz.pdftools.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [PocketPDF: PDF Tools & Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ayush.pocketpdf) — 26 users - [Pocket PDF](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.basetool.pocketpdf) — 10 users - [Fast PDF: Editor & Converter](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ramsaytech.fastpdf) — 33 users - [Offline PDF Tools: Scan Merge](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appsparkno.pdftools.scanner.merge.compress) - [PDF Tools: Edit, Scan & Sign](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.docvault.offline) — 42 users - [PDF Tools Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.brekele.pdftools) — 20 users - [Smart PDF](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hifivetech.smartpdf) — 101 users - [pdflu: PDF Scanner & Editor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pdflu.app) — 36 users - [Papeleo PDF](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.leoseverini.papeleopdf) - [PDF Toolkit: Scan & Convert](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.pdfconverter.android) — 4,757 users - [PurePDF: PDF Scanner & Editor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.purepdf.camscanner) — 3,990 users - [SnapPDF – Image to PDF](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.snappdf) — 19 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.parviz.pdftools)
