Works today

Ready to use now

These tools are built and working. A “Beta” tag means the feature works but is still being polished.

Edit, mark and sign

Open PDFs and find text

Open PDFs, including password-protected files, with zoom and page thumbnails. Find text quickly with Ctrl+F.

Add text

Choose the font, size, bold, italic, colour and alignment. Place text exactly where you want it.

Edit existing text in placeBeta

Click text that is already in the PDF and change it, with matching fonts. Being polished.

Highlight, draw and erase

Highlight important lines, draw with a pen, and erase your own additions — without touching the original page.

Insert images

Add pictures to a page, then move, resize and rotate them into place.

Sign PDF

Sign with a drawn or image signature. This is a visual signature, not a certificate-based digital signature (DSC).

Cover

Hide text from view with a cover. Covered text is hidden, not deleted.

Fill existing form fieldsBeta

Type into the form fields already built into a PDF. Being polished.

Pages, files and size

Pages

Reorder, rotate, insert, delete, duplicate and extract pages, and watch every change in the thumbnail panel.

Split PDF

Split a long document into separate files, or pull out just the pages you need.

Merge PDFs

Combine several PDFs into one tidy file, in the order you choose.

Compress PDF

Compress to 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB for a portal. It never makes a file bigger. Great for government forms, job portals and exam applications.

Convert PDF

Turn PDF pages into JPG or PNG images, or turn a set of images into a PDF.

Watermarks

Add your own watermark to every page, or remove a watermark you added.

Protect, recover and go mobile

Password protect

Protect a PDF with AES-256 encryption. The password is set and kept on your device.

Remove a password

Remove a password from a PDF you own, without sending the file anywhere.

Passwords kept when saving

If a PDF is already protected, hushleaf keeps its password when you save your changes.

Crash recovery

A recovery copy is kept only on your device, so an unexpected close does not lose your work.

Phone browserBeta

Use hushleaf in a phone browser. This is a beta and is being polished. It is not an Android app.

Cover hides text. It does not delete it.Covered text is still in the file underneath the cover. If you need text gone permanently, real text removal is on the Coming soon list.

Signatures are visual signatures.A drawn or image signature is not a certificate-based digital signature (DSC). DSC is planned for later.
