About this app

Crowdoc turns notes, Word files, spreadsheets, web pages, Markdown and PDFs into documents that look professionally typeset. On phones and tablets, it also turns photos of printed pages into typeset documents. Everything happens on your device.

Crowdoc reads each document and suggests the styles that suit it: an academic layout for a research paper, a letterhead for a letter, clear item tables for an invoice. Choose a color scheme and a typeface pairing, check every page in the live preview, then create the PDF.

IMPORT
• Markdown, Word (.docx), OpenDocument, RTF, HTML, EPUB, Jupyter notebooks, CSV, Excel and OpenDocument spreadsheets, plain text and PDFs with a text layer
• Choose files or a whole folder, paste text, write in Markdown, or share documents to Crowdoc from other apps

STYLE
• 43 styles: plain text pages, typewriter, large print and notebook; magazine, newspaper, editorial and web articles; personal and formal letters; leaflets, flyers and booklets; papers, theses, reports, proposals, invoices, minutes, CVs, manuals and slides
• 34 color schemes and 23 typeface pairings, all made to work together
• Title, running header, page numbers and title page: keep the style's design or turn each one on or off

BATCH, LIBRARY AND TEMPLATES
• Convert many documents at once, each in the style that suits it, and get every PDF in one ZIP

• Templates for theses, client proposals, invoices, cover letters, lecture notes and meeting minutes, plus your own

SCAN PRINTED PAGES
On phones and tablets with a camera, point the camera at a page. Crowdoc captures it by itself when the picture is steady, reads printed text in 40 languages right on your device, and rebuilds columns, headings, lists and tables before typesetting them. Printed text only; handwriting is not supported.

AI ASSISTANTS
Assistants and automation apps on your phone or tablet can ask Crowdoc to typeset documents. You allow each assistant, and only you can approve a purchase.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Reading files, typesetting, scanning and text recognition all happen on your device. Your documents are never uploaded. No account, no ads.

40 LANGUAGES
Crowdoc speaks 40 languages, from English, Spanish and German to Latvian, Japanese and Arabic.

FREE TO TRY
Your first 5 documents and one complete scan are free, with every style, color scheme and typeface. Creating a PDF again from the same document never uses another free document. Crowdoc Unlimited is a one-time purchase in Google Play with no subscription. There is one for phones and one for tablets, and each unlocks Crowdoc on that kind of device.

What’s new

26 editable Markdown starters and a writing guide. Choose a style, preview the PDF, then return to editing without losing your draft. Improved phone, tablet and foldable layouts, more reliable local saving, updated dependencies and Crowdoc engine 2.1.2.
