WhatPDFhatch can do

Every tool lives in the app and runs on your device. No file is ever uploaded — not for OCR, not for compression, not for password protection. The one exception is yours to switch on: the AI assistant receives the text you select.

Editing content

7 — tools in this group

Viewing a document and changing what is on its pages

  • Read PDF

    Open a document and read it right there — with search, page thumbnails and full screen.

  • AI Assistant

    Select text in a document and the assistant fixes errors, shortens it, rewrites it in another tone, translates or explains it — and puts the change back in the same place.

  • Edit PDF

    Rewrite or highlight existing text, add your own, erase or black out passages, add and reorder pages.

  • Watermark

    Stamp text in a chosen corner, in the centre or as a tiled pattern.
