VARAK Edit existing text in place
Tap a line and type. VARAK edits the page's own text and keeps the original font whenever the document embeds it. A paragraph re-wraps; an address keeps its lines.
VARAK
Everything VARAK does, on one page.
Free covers everyday PDF work: editing existing text, signing, forms, scanning, OCR, pages and exports. VARAK PRO adds the professional tools. Nothing is uploaded; there is no account, no watermark and no ads.
Edit
Change what a PDF says, not just what sits on top of it.
Add text
Place new text anywhere on the page, choose font, size and colour.
Find & replace
Replace a name, a date or a price across the whole document.
Edit a scanned page
Make Editable turns a scan into real text you can correct, in a typeface matched to the scan.
Sign and fill
From blank form to signed document without printing.
Fill forms
Fill existing form fields or create your own text fields, checkboxes and signature fields.
Sign
Draw with a finger or Apple Pencil, type, or photograph a signature on paper; the background is removed automatically. Add a date stamp.
Certificate signatures
Sign with a digital ID (certificate) so other readers can verify who signed and whether the file changed afterwards.
Flatten
Make filled-in fields part of the page so they can no longer be changed.
Scan and recognize
Paper in, searchable PDF out.
Scan documents
Scan with the camera or import photos: edge detection, crop, filters, multi-page and an ID-card mode.
OCR (recognize text)
Recognize text on the device so scans become searchable and selectable. Lines the reader is unsure of stay exactly as scanned.
Make Editable
Turn recognized text into editable text in the scan’s own look.
Annotate and read
Mark up, comment and read comfortably.
Annotate
Highlight, underline, strike through, comment, draw with the pen, place shapes.
Read
Reading mode, tabs, page thumbnails, outline and search.
On-device AI
Ask the document, Explain, Rewrite and Translate run on the device on Apple Intelligence–capable devices. Documents are not sent anywhere.
Pages and files
Put every page where it belongs.
Organize pages
Rotate, reorder, delete, insert blank or image pages, crop and extract pages.
Combine PDFs
Merge several PDFs into one, in the order you choose.
Compress
Make a smaller copy for email or upload. Compressed copies are image-only: text in the copy can no longer be selected or edited; the original stays as it is.
Export
Export as PDF/A, PNG, JPEG or plain text. Save, share and print.
Convert and protect (VARAK PRO)
The tools offices pay for, at a small price.
PDF to Word and Excel
Export to .docx and .xlsx. Bank statements become spreadsheets with rows you can review before export.
Redaction
Remove text and image content from the file instead of covering it. Find Personal Data lists names, numbers, IBANs and card numbers for you to review.
Compare two PDFs
Text and visual comparison that finds changed words, layout, images and page sizes, with a saveable report.
Batch
One action, many files: compress, convert, watermark or stamp a whole folder.
Headers, footers and Bates numbering
Add page numbers, dates, document titles and Bates numbers, with a preview before anything changes.
Watermarks and sanitize
Add a text watermark; remove hidden data such as metadata, attachments and hidden layers before you share a file.
