Simple Pdf Utils

Combine PDFs, photos, and Word documents. Add text, rotate, reorder, and compress pages — all on your device. No uploads. No accounts. No ads.

Simple Pdf Utils edits PDFs and images entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and the app contains no networking code.

WHAT IT DOES • Combine multiple PDFs and photos into one document • Reorder pages by dragging • Mark pages for removal with a single tap • Preview any page full-screen with pinch to zoom • See each page's byte cost to find what's bloating your file • Compress oversized pages (over 300 KB) to under 250 KB instantly — choose page-by-page • Save through the iOS share sheet to wherever you want — Files, Mail, Drive, Messages, your favorite cloud, or anywhere else

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most PDF tools online — and many on the App Store — upload your file to a server. That's fine for marketing brochures, but it means your contracts, receipts, medical records, scans, and IDs pass through someone else's machines.

Simple Pdf Utils never does this: • No accounts, no sign-up, nothing to log in to • Does not collect, transmit, store, or share any data • Contains no networking code at all • A strict Content Security Policy blocks every outgoing connection from inside the app • Asks for no special permissions — the system file picker and share sheet handle everything

You can verify all of this with Airplane Mode. The app works identically.

GOOD FOR • Combining receipts before submitting an expense report • Tidying up scans of paperwork • Stripping irrelevant pages from contracts before sharing • Merging photos from your camera roll into a single PDF • Shrinking image-heavy PDFs that are too big to email • Reordering pages in a multi-page scan

HOW IT WORKS • The app uses the system document picker for input — the same UI Apple ships in Files. • Images you pick (including HEIC from your iPhone Photos) are converted to JPEG and wrapped as PDF pages, all on-device. • When you save, the result goes to the standard iOS share sheet. You decide where it ends up. • Per-page compression rasterizes the chosen page to a JPEG sized to fit the budget — useful for image-heavy scans (compressed pages become image-only, so text is no longer selectable).

NO CATCHES Free. No upsells. No ads. No subscriptions. No "premium" tier. The app is what's on this page.
