PDF Genius editing a name on an application form

A PDF editor that edits, not just draws on top

Most phone apps can only put a new text box over your PDF. PDF Genius changes the text that's already there.

Edit text in place

Tap any word or line and rewrite it. Fonts, sizes, colours and shading are matched automatically.

Works on scans

Photographed or scanned page? Text is recognised on the device, so you can edit it like any other PDF.

Fill any form

Fillable fields are written into the PDF itself. Flat or scanned forms: tap the box and type.

Sign in seconds

Draw your signature once, then tap exactly where it should go on any document.

Or just ask

"Change the date to 12 March." Tell the AI what to change in plain language and it edits the PDF.

Understand long documents

Summaries, questions with page citations, table extraction to CSV, rewrite and translate.

Questions

Is PDF Genius free?

Yes, it's free to download. Viewing, scanning, merging, splitting, compressing, highlighting and signing are always free, and the free plan includes a number of text edits and AI questions. PDF Genius Pro unlocks unlimited editing and AI.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-up and no login. Your documents are stored on your iPhone.

Where do my documents go?

Viewing, OCR, editing, signing and exporting happen on your device. When you use an AI feature, such as chat or summarize, only the relevant text is sent over an encrypted connection to generate your answer. It isn't used to train AI models. Details are in the privacy policy.

Does it work on scanned documents?

Yes. PDF Genius recognises the text on scanned and photographed pages, so you can tap a word and edit it just like a normal PDF.

Will the edit look obvious?

PDF Genius measures the original text's font size, weight, colour and background, then matches them, so the edit blends in. Results are best on clean, typed documents.
