PDF Kite: Editor & Converter

PDF Kite is your complete, private PDF toolkit. Merge, split, sign, compress, scan, and convert documents directly on your device. Documents are processed on your phone and never uploaded, no account is required, and most tools work without an internet connection.

PRIVATE ON-DEVICE PROCESSING
Unlike online PDF services that upload confidential contracts, financial statements, and personal records to cloud servers, PDF Kite processes documents on your phone. Your files are never uploaded to a server, keeping your personal records in your hands.

31 TOOLS FOR EVERY PDF TASK:

ORGANIZE & ASSEMBLE
• Merge PDF: Combine multiple PDFs with custom page ranges, rotation, and double-sided blank page insertion.
• Split PDF: Divide documents into individual pages, split by every N pages, or extract specific page ranges.
• Organize Pages: Preview pages in a grid to reorder, duplicate, rotate, or delete them.
• Extract & Remove Pages: Keep the pages you need and discard the rest.
• Rotate PDF: Correct page orientation in 90-degree increments.

SCAN & OPTIMIZE
• Scan to PDF: Capture multi-page documents with automatic perspective crop.
• Compress PDF: Reduce file sizes with preset compression levels for embedded photos and scans.
• Repair PDF: Reconstruct and recover damaged PDF structures.
• Flatten PDF: Merge form fields and annotations into the page layer.

CONVERT TO & FROM PDF
• Images to PDF: Convert JPG, PNG, and HEIC photos into clean PDFs.
• Text & Web to PDF: Convert text files, or save web pages directly as PDFs with an internet connection.
• PDF to Images: Export pages as high-resolution PNG or JPEG (72, 150, 300 DPI).
• PDF to Text: Extract clean UTF-8 text from any document.
• PDF to Word: Export document text into formatted Word (.docx) paragraphs.
• PDF to Excel: Extract structured tables into spreadsheet (.xlsx) sheets.
• PDF to PowerPoint: Convert document pages into presentation (.pptx) slides.

EDIT, SIGN & ANNOTATE
• Sign PDF: Draw your signature and place it on contracts and forms.
• Fill Forms: Type into AcroForm interactive form fields and checkboxes.
• Edit PDF: Add text boxes, images, and whiteout boxes.
• Annotate: Draw with a pen, highlight, and add notes.
• Watermark: Stamp text watermarks with adjustable angle and opacity.
• Page Numbers: Add header/footer numbering (Page X of Y) with custom positions.
• Crop PDF: Visually trim margins and unwanted whitespace.

SECURITY & INSIGHTS
• Redact PDF: Black out sensitive details. Redacted pages are turned into images, so the hidden text is removed.
• Unlock PDF: Remove password security from files when the password is known.
• OCR: Make scanned PDFs searchable by recognizing Latin-script text on-device.
• Translate PDF: Translate between 24 languages into a Word document (downloads a language pack on first use).
• Compare PDFs: Get a report of the lines added and removed between two versions.
• Summarize PDF: Extract key sentences using local ranking algorithms.

HONEST TECHNICAL LIMITS
• PDF to Word exports text in clean paragraphs; it does not reproduce complex proprietary desktop publishing layouts.
• Redact turns affected pages into images, so their text is no longer selectable.
• Edit PDF places new text, images, and stamps over pages; it does not reflow existing embedded fonts.
• OCR recognizes Latin-script alphabets on-device.
• Summarize generates extractive summaries without cloud AI chat.
• Compress optimizes photos; vector text cannot be further shrunk.

FREE & ACCESSIBLE
PDF Kite has no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no account. Supported by ads: an occasional full-screen ad after a finished task, and a short video that unlocks OCR, Translate, and the Office exports for 30 minutes.
