Crimson Pdf: Editor & Tools

Crimson Pdf is the everyday PDF toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Convert, scan, sign, edit and protect documents — all 100% on-device. Nothing uploaded, nothing tracked, completely free with no in-app purchases or ads.

Whether you're sending an invoice from a coffee shop, signing a lease before a viewing, or compressing a 200-page report for email, Crimson handles it in seconds. Powered by Apple's native PDFKit, VisionKit and PencilKit frameworks for instant offline processing.

■ CONVERT — 10 TOOLS
Turn PDFs into Word (DOCX / RTF), Excel (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), images (JPG / PNG), plain text and CSV. Convert back the other way: images, Word (.docx / .doc / RTF / HTML / TXT), Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint slides into clean PDFs.

■ SCAN & OCR
Snap any printed page with the built-in scanner — auto edge detection, perspective correction, multi-page output. Extract searchable text from photos and PDFs using Apple's on-device Vision framework. Nothing is sent to a server.

■ SIGN & ANNOTATE
Draw your signature with Apple Pencil or finger using PencilKit, then stamp it onto any contract. Highlight, add sticky notes, and erase — all with precise tap targeting on the page.

■ ORGANIZE
Merge, split, rotate, reorder pages. Compress to shrink a 10 MB PDF down to ~1 MB before sharing. Lock with a password. Add page numbers (1, 1/12, or Page 1 of 12 styles) and watermarks for confidential drafts.

■ FORMS
Detect and fill PDF form fields automatically. Save filled copies without flattening so you can edit later.

■ DESIGNED FOR iOS
Built entirely with SwiftUI for iOS 17 and above. Clean light theme, smooth gradient animations, haptic feedback, dynamic type and accessibility support. Files surface in the iOS Files app — no walled garden.

■ PRIVACY FIRST — NO DATA COLLECTED
Every conversion, scan and OCR pass runs on your device. No cloud uploads, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party processing. Crimson Pdf makes zero network requests for its core functionality.

■ MULTI-LANGUAGE
Available in 17 languages: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazilian & European), Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional).

Crimson Pdf is completely free. Every tool is unlocked from day one — no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
