PDF Forge: PDF Scanner & OCR Android

PDF Forge: PDF Scanner & OCR

Full offline PDF scanner, OCR & editor — no account, no cloud needed

Overview

Features & Capabilities

PDF Forge turns your phone into a full-featured document scanner and PDF
studio — with no account, no cloud, and nothing leaving your device.

SCAN & CAPTURE
• Point your camera at any document — auto-edge detection crops, straightens,
and enhances it instantly for a clean, professional result
• Photo mode for raw, unprocessed images — receipts, whiteboards, handwritten
notes, or anything you want saved exactly as it looks
• Gallery import — bring in existing photos and turn them into a polished PDF
• Rename every scan before saving so your files stay organized from the start
• Generate high-quality A4 PDFs with a single tap — ready to share, email,
or archive

OCR — 55+ LANGUAGES, 100% ON-DEVICE
Extract printed and handwritten text from any scan or image. PDF Forge supports
Latin, Chinese, Hindi and Devanagari, Japanese, Korean — plus dozens more
scripts. Every OCR run happens entirely on your phone using Google's bundled
ML Kit. No internet connection required. Extracted text can be copied, edited,
or saved as its own file.

PDF TOOLS
• Merge multiple scans into one multi-page PDF
• Split a PDF into separate single-page files
• Rotate pages to fix orientation in seconds
• Encrypt PDFs with a password — keep sensitive documents confidential
• Add watermarks to protect or brand every page
• Extract images and text from existing PDFs
• Convert plain text files directly into formatted PDFs

PRIVACY & SECURITY
Your files never leave your phone. PDF Forge stores everything locally —
no sign-up, no cloud upload, no analytics, no tracking. Text recognition
and document scanning run entirely on-device using Google's offline ML Kit.
Your scanned documents are yours alone. If you ever need support, reach us
directly by email.

LIGHTWEIGHT, FAST & FREE
No subscription, no premium paywall, no ads-waiting-to-skip on core features
— every tool is available from day one. Small APK size, fast startup, and
designed to work completely offline so you can scan and manage documents
anywhere — on a train, at the office, or in areas with no signal.

WHO USES PDF FORGE?
Students scanning textbooks and lecture notes, professionals capturing
contracts and invoices, freelancers archiving receipts, teams sharing meeting
notes — anyone who needs a reliable scanner that respects their privacy
and doesn't push documents into the cloud.

If PDF Forge helps you get things done, a rating and review on the Play Store
means a lot to an independent developer. Thank you for choosing a scanner
that puts your privacy first.
