PaperKit - PDF Tools

Handle everyday PDF cleanup locally: merge files, split pages, reduce size, make scans searchable, and redact common sensitive text before sharing.

PaperKit is a local-first PDF utility for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It helps you clean up everyday PDF files without creating an account or uploading documents to a server.

Use PaperKit to:

• Merge multiple PDFs into one file
• Split a PDF into single-page documents
• Compact scanned or image-heavy PDFs
• Optimize vector PDFs while preserving selectable text
• Add searchable OCR text to scanned pages
• Redact common sensitive text such as email addresses, phone numbers, SSNs, and likely card numbers
• Run key actions from Shortcuts, the share sheet, and Mac Finder services

PaperKit is designed for private documents. Processing happens on your device. The app does not include ads, analytics SDKs, third-party tracking, accounts, or cloud storage.

Compact, OCR, and Redact modes rebuild pages as images. Compact mode may not preserve selectable text. Redact mode intentionally removes the original page text layer before drawing redaction boxes. Always review exported PDFs before submitting important materials.

You can try PaperKit with up to 2 PDFs and 25 pages. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited local processing on iPhone, iPad, and Mac for the same Apple Account.
