ClipPDF
MOBILE DOCUMENT SCANNER
Clip PDF is your toolkit for PDFs: view, edit, convert, merge and protect documents – as an app on iPhone and Android, or right here in your browser with no upload. Processing runs locally on your device.
Free and no upload. Your files never leave the browser — everything runs locally on your device.
Every tool on this page runs entirely in your browser: PDF processing is handled by JavaScript libraries such as pdf.js and pdf-lib right on your device. Your files are never uploaded, there is no account and no queue – open a tool, pick your file and download the result. Ideal when you are on the go or simply don't want to install anything.
Combine several documents into one, break large files into separate parts, or reorder and remove pages – these tools take care of your PDF's structure without touching its content.
Turn PDF pages into JPG images (and back) or reduce the file size for sending by e-mail. You decide how much compression is applied – and you see the result before downloading.
Open PDFs right in the browser with search, zoom and printing, add text, shapes or notes, and knock documents into shape – no desktop software required.
Password-protect confidential documents, lay a watermark over every page, or place your hand-drawn signature – everything stays local, your documents never leave your device.
Scanned documents only contain images. OCR text recognition turns them into searchable, copyable text – recognition runs completely in your browser via Tesseract.js.
The clear home screen gives you access to all PDF tools: Viewer, Editor, Convert, Merge, Split and Security.
Edit text, images and pages directly in your PDFs. Start an editing session and use the comprehensive toolbar.
