FREE VARAK PDF Editor & Scanner

A private PDF editor: your files stay on your device

Contracts, tax forms and medical reports should not need a server to be edited. VARAK processes documents on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, asks for no account and never uploads your files.

What “on the device” means

Editing, scanning, OCR, signing, form filling, compression and redaction all run on the device. The on-device AI tools (Ask, Explain, Rewrite, Translate) also run locally on Apple Intelligence–capable devices and send nothing to a server.

No account

There is no sign-up, so there is no profile that ties your documents to you. You open a PDF, edit it and save it.

Redaction that removes content

In VARAK PRO, redaction removes the text and image content under the box from the file instead of just covering it, and Find Personal Data lists names, numbers, IBANs and card numbers for you to review. Sanitize removes metadata, attachments and hidden layers.

Honest limits

When you share, email or store a file in a cloud folder, it goes where you send it; that is your choice and outside VARAK. Apple processes purchases through your Apple Account. Read the full privacy policy for details.

Questions and answers

Does VARAK upload my PDFs?

No. VARAK processes documents on the device and never uploads your files.

Do web-based PDF tools upload files?

Many do, and some run entirely in the browser. Check the tool’s privacy statement or watch the network activity. An app that works offline on the device avoids the question.

Is redaction in VARAK permanent?

Yes. PRO redaction removes the underlying text and image content from the saved file rather than drawing a black box over it.
