Say the change.
The PDF changes.
ezPDF makes clean PDFs from anything, and edits them like a document: circle the words, say what you want, and they change in the page’s own type. Everything happens on your Mac.

The pen marks the spot; the words change in the document’s own type.
Free. For macOS 26 or later. Signed and notarized by Apple.
Anything in, a clean PDF out
Paste a link to a long article, a paper or a docs page and get a clean PDF without the ads and menus, plus an EPUB for your Kindle. Drop in Word files, images, Markdown or a scan, and the same.
“That blog post, for the plane.”
- Readable, not printed: tables, code and math kept whole across pages, contents in the sidebar.
- Sized for where you read: Kindle, Letter, A4 or your phone.
- Scans become text: Apple’s document reader on your Mac reads them in reading order, tables included.
- Find anything: one search across every document you’ve made, scanned pages too.
Circle it and say it
Mark & Talk: draw on the page with the pen while you say what to change. The assistant gets the exact words under your marks and edits that spot, nothing else.
“Make this the 12th.”
- Speech stays on your Mac: what you say becomes text on device.
- Apple Intelligence by default, or Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok or OpenRouter with your own key.
- Instant for everyday asks: “compress it”, “undo that”, “make it fillable” run in a moment with a small decision model.
- It remembers you: “always sign as Hari L.” is kept for next time, and you can see and delete what it knows.
The type stays the type
A changed word is set in the document’s own font, size and colour, never squeezed smaller. Longer words move the rest of the line along and carry down the paragraph, the way a word processor would.
Meeting on Oct 14 October 14 at noon.
- Fonts it doesn’t have, it gets: from the document itself, or open fonts from Google Fonts. Calibri and Cambria get twins with the same widths.
- Tidy without asking: no doubled “$” or full stop, no stray spaces.
- Honest when it can’t: if new words don’t fit their paragraph, nothing changes and it says why.
- Everything you place stays movable: text, signatures and logos drag, resize and copy between documents.
Paper forms, fillable
Drop in a PDF, a scan or a photo of any form. ezPDF finds the writing lines, boxes, table cells, checkboxes and signature lines, turns each into a real field named after its label, and keeps it in My Templates for next time.
On real IRS W-9 and W-4 forms it found 86 to 89 percent of the fields in about a fifth of a second.
Membership Application
Statements and invoices, into a spreadsheet
Open a bank statement and get every transaction; open an invoice and get the vendor, dates, tax, total and line items. Save to Excel or CSV, or copy into Numbers.
8 of 8 rows match the balance.
- Checked like a careful person would: each row against the running balance, line items against the subtotal, subtotal and tax against the total.
- Read again when it doesn’t add up: Apple Intelligence gets one more look at what didn’t match, and anything still off is flagged for you.
- Scans too: even a statement photographed at an angle, read on your Mac.
Or let your agent do it
ezPDF runs a small server on your Mac with 30 tools: convert, extract, edit, sign, fill, redact, export. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and the rest use the same buttons you do.
It asks you before an agent redacts, signs, flattens, deletes or sends anything, and History shows who changed what. Copy the setup from Settings › Agents.
And the rest of a good PDF app
- 20 ready templates
- Invoices, quotes, receipts, letters, an NDA, timesheets, expense reports and more. Every blank is a real field to click and type in.
- Headers, footers, Bates
- Page numbers, dates, the title, Bates numbers and your logo on every page, mirrored for two-sided printing.
- Logos and stamps
- Describe one and pick a result: Image Playground on your Mac for free, or fal.ai and OpenAI with your key. The background comes off.
- Redaction that’s real
- Redacted pages are rebuilt from pixels, so nothing hides under the black box, then made searchable again.
- Pages in order
- Reorder, rotate, split, merge, insert a blank page, compress, or make a scan searchable.
- Straight to your Kindle
- One click sends a document to your Kindle, as an EPUB when it came from the web so you can change the text size.
- From your browser
- A Safari and Chrome extension makes a PDF of the page you’re on, even pages you’re signed in to, like your bank.
- All over your Mac
- Spotlight finds words inside every document, Shortcuts has ezPDF actions, and any app’s Services menu makes a PDF from a link.
Questions
What do I need?
A Mac with macOS 26 or later. The built-in assistant uses Apple Intelligence when it’s on; everything else works without it.
Does my document leave my Mac?
No. Converting, reading scans, finding form fields, extracting data and editing all run on your Mac. Things leave it only when you ask for them: making a PDF from a link fetches that page; a cloud assistant you chose gets your request and the text it needs; making a logo with fal.ai or OpenAI sends your description; and fetching a document’s font sends only the font’s name.
Do I need API keys?
No. Everything works on your Mac. A key for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok or OpenRouter makes the assistant smarter, and fal.ai or OpenAI keys add more logo models. They stay in your Keychain.
Which agents can use it?
Anything that speaks MCP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and the rest, with 30 tools. Grok and ChatGPT can reach it through TopRelay. The server runs on your Mac at 127.0.0.1 and needs your token; Settings › Agents has the setup for each.
Can an agent mess up my documents?
Before an agent redacts, signs, edits text, flattens, deletes or sends to Kindle, ezPDF asks you, and requests from outside your Mac always ask. Every change can be undone, 30 steps back, and History shows who changed what.
How well does it find form fields?
On real IRS W-9 and W-4 forms, with their fields taken off, it found 86 to 89 percent of them in about a fifth of a second, and named them after their labels. Anything it misses, you add with a click.
What does it cost?
Nothing. ezPDF is free, and the source is on GitHub.
