Features & Capabilities

Preview mini is a macOS-inspired image and PDF editor for iPhone and iPad. Edit, annotate, and convert images and PDFs in one app — download for free and streamline your workflow. This independent app is inspired by macOS but not affiliated with Apple.

Key features include image editing (crop, rotate, resize, add text/notes/shapes), PDF handling (edit, annotate, password-protect, page management), HD exports, and export previews for JPEG/PNG. It supports drag-and-drop, a desktop-like File Desktop experience, and keyboard/trackpad shortcuts for quick workflows. Some advanced features are available in the full version.

User Reviews

Reviewers broadly praise Preview mini as a solid, affordable iOS/iPad tool for basic PDF editing and page management with good export/share options and features like password removal. However, they report stability problems (crashes/unsaved changes) and note it lacks parity with macOS Preview (no image export; limited multi-page editing). It’s a useful lightweight alternative with responsive support, but not a complete Mac Preview replacement.
Pros
  • Good PDF editing and page manipulation on iPad/iPhone (remove/reorder pages, basic edits).
  • Close to the Mac Preview experience, making it a useful mobile replacement for basic tasks.
  • Strong sharing/export options across Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and other apps.
  • Password removal capability for PDFs.
  • Value for money with affordable in-app purchases and generally responsive support.
Cons
  • Stability issues: crashes during editing and unsaved work, sometimes causing data loss.
  • Not a full replacement for macOS Preview: lacks some features (e.g., exporting PDFs as images like JPG; limited multi-page editing; editing often limited to one page at a time).
  • Occasional reliability/purchase issues (errors when upgrading to full version).
  • Editing on small screens can be cumbersome and less smooth than on a Mac.

On iPad . I open pdfs, make changes. But when I attach it an email, the changes have not been saved.
