Edit text. Even in scans.
Tap a line, type the new wording. Papyra keeps the font size and the paper background; flattened scans are recognized with on-device OCR first.
A private PDF studio · On-device
A quieter way
to work with PDFs.
Rewrite any line in a PDF — even a flat scan. Papyra recognizes text on the device, covers it cleanly and lets you type over it. Annotate, sign, fill forms, redact and organize pages, all without an account or an upload.

Everything you need.
Nothing in the way.
The tools you use most are always close. The rest appear when they make sense.
✎
Mark up with intent
Highlight, underline, strike through, draw with Apple Pencil, add notes, shapes, stamps, and text.
✍
Sign without printing
Draw a signature once, place it on any page, and flatten it when you export.
⌕
Scan and recognize
Turn paper or photos into a PDF, then add on-device OCR so scans become searchable.
▦
Forms that stay forms
Fill text fields, checkboxes, and choices. Keep the fields or flatten them on export.
▤
Pages, under control
Reorder, rotate, duplicate, delete, insert, extract, and merge pages without leaving the document.
▰
Redaction you can verify
Cover sensitive content, apply it for real, and verify the page afterwards. Not just a black rectangle.
Private by design
Your documents never leave this device.
Papyra has no account and no analytics. There is no document server to upload to. Your PDFs live in the app until you choose to export or share them.
- Camera is used only when you choose Scan.
- Face ID is checked by iOS, not collected by Papyra.
- On-device insights are hidden when the device does not support them.
- Delete a document, or all data, at any time.
A different kind of editor
Quiet tools. Clear pages.
Papyra is built around the page, not around menus. The PDF stays the hero. A compact glass dock keeps the five things you need within reach, and the contextual palette only appears when you are marking up.
- Continuous, single-page, and two-page reading.
- Page thumbnails on iPad, a page board on iPhone.
- Search text and scanned text; browse every annotation in one list.
- Night reading, page thumbnails, and a clean export flow.
Small details,
serious work.
Papyra is for contracts, forms, scans, lecture notes, and the document you have been putting off.
On-device intelligence
Understand the document.
Without sending it anywhere.
On supported devices, Papyra can summarize a PDF, pull out key points, and answer questions about the page in front of you. The model runs on the device. When it is not available, the feature is not shown.
AI can make mistakes. Papyra treats insights as a reading aid, not a replacement for the document.
Ready when your next PDF is.
Free. No account. No upload. Just a calmer place to work.
