PageGlide: PDF Book Reader

Your PDFs. A better way to read.

PageGlide is a focused, book-like reader for DRM-free PDFs you already own. It keeps every page's fixed layout intact, so scanned books, textbooks, manuals, comics, TTRPG rulebooks, magazines, and regular PDFs look the way their creators intended.

WIDE SPREADS, MADE FOR IPAD

• Split a wide two-page PDF spread into one readable page at a time in portrait. • Turn your iPad to landscape and keep the full spread together. • Choose the layout that matches each PDF when you import it. • Read left-to-right or right-to-left with page order, taps, swipes, and spread order kept consistent.

READ PAGE BY PAGE

• Turn one page at a time with a horizontal swipe or a tap at either side. • Let every page settle into place instead of using continuous scrolling. • Jump with the page slider, which gently snaps to bookmarked positions. • Close the reader or rotate your iPad without losing your place.

MAKE EVERY PAGE COMFORTABLE

• Pinch to zoom, pan while enlarged, or double-tap between fit and close-up views. • Safely trim detected white outer margins on screen without modifying the PDF. • Reverse black and white on monochrome pages in Dark mode while preserving pages that contain substantial color. • Rotate a book in 90-degree steps when the PDF's stored orientation is wrong.

KEEP YOUR LIBRARY YOURS

• Import unencrypted PDFs from Files or iCloud Drive. • See each cover, title, page count, current page, and reading progress at a glance. • Sort by last opened, title, date added, or reading progress. • Rename a book in PageGlide without renaming its original PDF. • Choose a photo as a custom cover, then restore the PDF cover whenever you like. • Add bookmarks with or without a title, rename them later, and return to any marked page.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account. No uploads. No tracking. PageGlide uses no server or external API. Your PDFs, covers, bookmarks, settings, and reading position stay in the app's storage on your device. The source PDF is never edited.

SUPPORTED FILES
