PDF Ready in one paragraph

Useful PDFs from your Android phone

PDF Ready helps you prepare useful PDFs from your Android phone. Compress to an exact size, create PDFs from photos, scan documents, add OCR, prepare PDF/A-2b when needed, fix pages, merge or split, add a visible signature or image, review the result, and export a clean copy ready to share or upload.

Best quality for the size you need

Readable files at strict sizes

Choose the limit first: 300 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, or 12 MB. PDF Ready is built to push toward the best possible readability for the required size, so you can solve strict uploads without blindly crushing the file.

Use it when your PDF is too large to upload, when a passport PDF needs to be smaller, when a visa or application file needs a clean target size, or when compression from a random web tool makes the document unreadable.

Private mobile power

Your phone can handle normal document prep

Your phone is already powerful enough for normal document prep. For passports, certificates, visas, payslips, medical records, forms, and application uploads, local processing is not a compromise. It is an advantage.

Processing the file on your phone means your documents do not have to pass through a random website just to be compressed, OCR'd, cleaned up, or made ready to send.

For very large PDFs or long OCR jobs, processing can take longer precisely because the work happens locally.

Available on Android

PDF Ready is available on Google Play for Android.

Use the public Google Play listing to install PDF Ready on a compatible Android device. iPhone and iPad support may be added later, but there is no public iOS release today.

Open Google Play · See availability details

Have a form to fill out?

A practical path for forms

Fill it in with the original app when you can. If needed, complete it by hand, scan it with PDF Ready, then compress, clean up, and export a clean copy to send.

Review before clean export

Do the work first. Then decide.

Review size, readability, warnings, page order, rotation, OCR, and compatibility before you export the final clean copy.

That means you can prepare and inspect the result before paying for the clean export you actually want to save, share, or submit.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I compress a PDF to 2 MB on Android?

Import or scan the document, choose the 2 MB target, review readability, then export the clean copy when it is ready.

How do I compress a PDF to 300 KB without ruining readability?

Choose 300 KB first and review the prepared result before clean export. If readability is not good enough, use a larger target when your upload path allows it.

Can I compress a PDF without uploading it to a website?

Yes. PDF contents stay on your Android device and are not uploaded to any server.

Can I OCR a scanned PDF on my phone?

Yes. Use OCR when scanned text needs to be searchable. OCR-heavy jobs can take longer because the work happens locally.

Can I create a PDF from photos?

Yes. Start from photos, review the pages, then prepare the PDF for the size or clean export you need.

Can I sign a PDF and add a photo?

Yes. Add a visible handwritten signature or image when that is the right visual detail for the document.

Can I reorder, rotate, or delete pages?

Yes. Use page cleanup before export so the final copy has the right page order and orientation.

Can I prepare PDF/A-2b on Android?

Yes, when that workflow requires it. Do not enable PDF/A-2b unless the destination asks for it.

Can I use PDF Ready for forms?

PDF Ready does not replace a specialist PDF suite for complex dynamic form editing. It helps you prepare, clean up, scan, compress, and export a practical copy to send.

Do I need a subscription?

No. You can scan/import, prepare, and review before paying. The paid step is the final clean export for that document through Google Play.

Small notes

Built for normal mobile documents

PDF Ready is built for normal mobile documents, not huge hundreds-of-pages production jobs. Because processing happens on your phone, very large files or OCR-heavy jobs can take longer. For advanced text editing, complex dynamic forms, or certified digital signatures, use a specialist suite. PDF Ready prepares the document, but the destination system always makes the final acceptance decision.

PDF Ready is independent and not affiliated with any government agency or upload portal.
