Readable PDF Text Reader

Turn PDFs and images into clean, phone-friendly reading text with on-device extraction and OCR.

Readable PDF Text Reader is specifically designed to make PDFs and images easier to read on your iPhone.

Send a PDF or image from Mail, Files, or another app, and Readable PDF extracts the text into a clean, comfortable reading view. It works with embedded PDF text and uses on-device OCR for scanned pages and images.

Features:

• Import PDFs and images from the share sheet
• Import files directly from the app
• Extract PDF text with on-device processing
• OCR scanned pages and images
• Adjust font size, line spacing, and reading theme
• Search inside imported documents
• Keep a local library of readable documents
• Edit extracted text when OCR needs a correction
• Reprocess documents with cleanup options

Readable PDF is designed for people who receive PDFs that are awkward to read on a phone: attachments, scans, reports, forms, handouts, and other text-heavy documents. Note that images are not processed as a part of making the PDF readable.

Documents are processed locally on your device. No account is required and no data is sent off device.
