About this app

oftwave PDF Toolkit does your PDF work on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account to create, and there is no subscription: the free app shows one small banner, and a single one-time purchase removes it for good.

ALL THE TOOLS, ONE SMALL APP
• Scan: camera to PDF with Google's on-device scanner. Automatic edge detection, multi-page capture, optional password.
• View PDF: a fast reader that renders at your screen's resolution, with page thumbnails, bookmarks, share and print.
• Compress: shrink a file for email or chat. The app measures the real saving on your own file before you tap, keeps text sharp, keeps transparency, and never makes a file bigger.
• Merge, Split, Rearrange, Rotate, Delete Pages, Remove Blanks: organise pages with thumbnails and drag-and-drop. Rotating changes a page setting only, so text stays selectable.
• Convert: photos to PDF, or PDF pages to JPG, PNG or WEBP at 150, 200 or 300 dpi.
• Edit: draw, add text and stamps, sign, and redact. A redaction removes the content for good; it does not just cover it.
• Add Watermark and Add Page Numbers: six positions, several formats, and a live preview on your actual page. Both go on as real text, so the document stays searchable.
• Password Protect and Remove Password: lock a file, and optionally block printing or editing.
• Extract Text: pulls the text out to a .txt file, and reads scanned pages with on-device text recognition (Latin script).
• Repair: rebuilds a damaged file that other readers refuse to open.
• Edit Metadata: title, author, subject, keywords, creator. Clear everything in one tap before you send a file on.

WORKS WITH THE REST OF YOUR PHONE
• "Open with" and "Share to" from any app land straight in the right tool.
• Import from and save to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or any folder through Android's own file picker.
• Home-screen shortcuts for Scan, Merge and Compress.
• Light and dark themes, adjustable text size, and your choice of accent colour.

WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND
• No watermark stamped on your output.
• No "free trial" that quietly becomes a subscription.
• No account, no upload, no server. Your original file is never changed; every result is saved as a new file.
• No analytics or tracking SDKs. The camera is used only when you tap Scan.

A small download that works offline. Only the banner, and Google Play's one-time download of the scanner and text-recognition modules, need a connection.
