PDFnest - PDF Reader & Editor turns your phone into a complete document workspace. Read, edit, sign, scan, convert and organize your files - all of it on your device, with no account and no internet connection needed.

📖 A reader built for real reading
• Fast, smooth PDF viewing with pinch zoom
• Search any word inside a document and jump straight to it
• Reflow mode reformats text to fit your screen, so you never pinch at small print again
• Read page by page or scroll continuously, horizontally or vertically
• Four backgrounds: Original, Paper, Eye comfort and Night
• Go to page, rotate the screen, keep the screen on while you read

✏️ A real editor, not just a viewer
• Edit the text that is already in a PDF - tap a text block and retype it on the page
• Change font (Sans, Serif, Mono), size, color, bold and strikethrough
• Move, resize, copy or delete any text block
• Add new text anywhere you tap
• Annotate with highlight, underline, strikeout and freehand doodle, plus an eraser
• Insert images straight into a page

✍️ Sign in seconds

• Place it on any page with a single tap
• Fill and sign contracts, forms and letters without printing anything


📸 A scanner in your pocket
• Scan paper straight to PDF with automatic edge detection
• Auto crop, batch scanning, up to 100 pages in one document
• Filters: Docs, Super, Enhance, Black & White, Gray and Invert
• Or import photos you already have in your gallery

🔄 Convert between formats

• Word to PDF
• Image to PDF and Text to PDF
• PDF to image, or export a whole document as one long image

🧰 The everyday PDF tools
• Merge several PDFs into one, in whatever order you drag them
• Split every page apart, into fixed groups, or by custom ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10
• Compress a large file so it fits in an email
• Organize pages - drag to reorder, rotate, insert blank pages, extract or delete
• Print to any printer your phone can reach

🔒 Lock your private documents
• Password-protect a PDF with AES-256 encryption
• Remove a password from a file you own
• Set a security question so you can recover a password you forgot
• Saved passwords are encrypted with the Android Keystore and never leave your device

📂 Find any file instantly
• Every document on your phone in one place, grouped by type
• Home, Recent and Favorites, plus folders you create yourself
• Search by file name; sort by date, name or size
• Select several files at once to share, move or delete
• Recycle bin keeps deleted files for 30 days, so a wrong tap is never the end

📑 Formats you can open
PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .csv), PowerPoint (.pptx) and plain text.

🛡️ Private by design
• No account. There is nothing to sign up for
• No tracking. We collect nothing about you and nothing about your files
• Fully offline. Your documents are opened, edited and converted on your device, and are never uploaded to any server
