1. Open the original locally
Start with the source PDF on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac instead of uploading the untouched file.
Prepare PDFs before AI upload.
OfflinePDF Pro
Review sensitive details, clean metadata, and export a Safe Copy before a PDF leaves your device.
Built for contracts, statements, HR forms, leases, tax files, and other PDFs you want to prepare before using an AI tool.
Free to download. Optional one-time Pro upgrade.
The prep step before upload
Keep the original local. Review what the upload does not need, then export a cleaner copy.
2. Review and redact
Use local text and OCR checks to find common PII, then decide what the task truly needs.
3. Export the Safe Copy
Use the cleaned export for AI review, client sharing, or internal document workflows.
Common situations
Built for everyday paperwork where privacy matters and the file still needs to be sent.
Review IDs before sharing
Check SSNs, passport numbers, account IDs, and similar details before you send forms or statements.
Tax, finance, and medical packets
Use local OCR and PII checks on paperwork that often contains names, dates, cards, and account numbers.
Client-ready Safe Copies
Create a separate export with approved redactions, metadata cleanup, and a final verification screen.
How it works
A practical flow from import to a reviewed Safe Copy.
1. Find
Import a PDF and scan local text or OCR results for common PII such as email, phone, SSN, cards, IBAN, dates of birth, and IDs.
2. Review
Confirm findings before creating draft redactions. Nothing is permanently changed while you are still editing.
3. Export Safe Copy
Burn approved redactions into a separate file, clean hidden data where supported, and check filename risk before sharing.

Common questions
Will my PDF be uploaded?

Does it train AI models?
No. OfflinePDF Pro does not train AI models with your documents.
Do I need a subscription?
No. The app is free to download with an optional one-time Pro upgrade.
