Frequently Asked Questions
Only for Office conversions. Most tools — merge, split, compress, sign, scan and more — run entirely on your device. The seven conversion tools (PDF ↔ Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF → Text) send the selected file over an encrypted connection to our conversion server, where it is deleted as soon as the result is delivered. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Pdflex supports JPG, PNG, HEIC images for conversion to PDF. For merging and splitting, all standard PDF files are supported. You can also use the camera to capture documents directly.

The PDF quality depends on the original image resolution. For best results, use high-resolution photos. Images taken with your iPhone camera typically produce excellent PDF quality. Screenshots or heavily compressed images may appear lower quality.
There is no artificial limit on the number of files you can merge. However, very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take longer to process depending on your device's available memory. For optimal performance, we recommend merging in batches if working with extremely large files.
Mostly, yes. All editing tools — merge, split, compress, sign, scan and more — work completely offline. The Office conversion tools (PDF ↔ Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF → Text) need an internet connection, and so do ads.
We're working on a premium version that will remove all advertisements. Stay tuned for updates! In the meantime, ads help us keep the app free and continuously improved.
Photo Library access is needed to select images for PDF conversion. Camera access is needed for the document scanning feature. These permissions are only used when you actively choose to use these features. We never access your photos or camera in the background.
