About this app

Grifel is a fast, private PDF reader and PDF editor for Android. Read, annotate, fill in and sign PDF documents on your phone or tablet. Open a PDF from email, a messenger or your files and it is on screen right away: no sign-in, no ads, no welcome tour.

PDF READER AND VIEWER
• Smooth scrolling and zoom; double-tap zooms into the column of text
• Search text in a PDF with every match highlighted, a list of results, contents and bookmarks
• Tabs for several documents, and two panes side by side on tablets
• Night mode for pages (inverted, soft dark or sepia) and a dark theme
• Read PDF aloud with the voices of your phone, also in the background
• Open password-protected PDFs, copy text and print

ANNOTATE PDF
• Highlight, underline and strike out text; add notes and text boxes
• Draw with a finger or a stylus, or turn a sketch into a neat line, arrow or shape; erase what you do not need
• See all comments in one list and reply to them
• Changes are saved automatically. Undo after saving and the version history keep your documents safe

FILL IN FORMS AND SIGN DOCUMENTS
• Fill in PDF forms, including drop-down lists and check boxes
• Type on any paper form or scan: text snaps to the lines. Add check marks, dates and lines
• Sign PDF documents: draw, type or import your signature and initials. They stay encrypted on your phone
• Send a flattened copy, so the filled-in fields and markup can no longer be changed

PDF SCANNER AND PHOTO TO PDF
• Scan paper documents and receipts to PDF with automatic edge detection
• Convert photos and images (JPG, PNG) to PDF: one file or a PDF for each image

ORGANIZE PAGES FOR FREE
• Rotate, delete, duplicate and reorder PDF pages

PREMIUM
• Compress PDF files to send them by email or in a messenger
• Merge PDF files and images into one PDF; split a PDF into several files
• Insert, extract and crop pages
• Protect a PDF with a password (AES-256), or remove the password from a PDF you can open
• Convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG images
The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime in Google Play.
