PDFgear

PDFgear is an AI-powered PDF editor and toolkit designed to help you read, edit, convert, and manage PDF files with less friction. It includes an AI Assistant (PDF Copilot) that lets you interact with your documents through chat, plus OCR tools that extract text from image-based or scanned PDFs for easier editing and reuse.

With PDFgear, you can directly improve PDFs: edit text and elements, highlight and annotate with notes, and reorganize documents by rotating, deleting, splitting, merging, or adding pages. It also supports PDF forms—so you can fill out PDFs and create fillable forms, then flatten them when needed. For practical cleanup and document handling, you can crop, compress, and manage files using a set of focused utilities.

PDFgear also focuses heavily on conversions and interoperability. You can convert between PDFs and formats like Word, TXT, JPG/PNG, Excel, PPT/PPTX, and PSD, and use batch conversion for multiple files. OCR supports 30+ languages, and scanned paper can be converted on mobile into PDF, Word, or image outputs.

It’s available as free downloads for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and it also offers free PDF tools that run in your browser without signing up.
