Open-time benchmarks are published with their methodology and raw data for every release — no inflated claims.

Installing a PDF app shouldn't feel like a trap.

What you usually get versus what you get here.

×Typical free PDF installer

  • Pre-ticked toolbar, browser or antivirus bundled in the installer
  • Banner ads and “upgrade to Pro” pop-ups while you read
  • Sign in or create an account to use basic tools
  • Files uploaded to a server to convert, compress or edit
  • Seconds of splash screen before the first page
  • “Redaction” that just draws a black box over the text

AllofPDF

  • One signed installer. Nothing else gets installed.
  • Zero ads in the app. Ever.
  • No account. Open it and work.
  • Everything runs locally on your PC.
  • The first page renders while the rest loads.
  • True redaction removes the underlying text and data.
Features

Everything you do with PDFs. Faster, and on your terms.

Power tools that usually cost a subscription — built in, free, and private by default.

AI Q&A

Ask your PDF. Get cited answers.

Every answer links to the exact page it came from, so you can check it in one click. Runs locally; the cloud is opt-in.

AI Command

Just say what you want done.

“Merge these, drop page 3, compress for email.” Natural-language commands preview each step before anything changes.

Document X-Ray

See what's hiding inside.

Hidden layers, metadata, embedded files, JavaScript and fonts — surfaced before you share a file.

True Redaction

Redaction that actually removes.

Deletes the text, images and metadata underneath — not just a black rectangle someone can copy through.

Compare

Spot every change between versions.

Side-by-side diff of text and layout, with additions, deletions and edits color-coded.

OCR

Make scans searchable.

On-device OCR turns scanned pages into selectable, searchable text in dozens of languages.

Frequently asked questions

Windows shows a SmartScreen warning. Is it safe?

The installer is signed with Microsoft Azure Trusted Signing, and you can verify its SHA-256 on this page. New releases can briefly trigger SmartScreen until they build reputation. Click “More info”, check that the publisher reads AllofPDF, then choose “Run anyway”.

Is it really free?

Yes. Viewing, editing, conversion to 17 formats, OCR, redaction, compare and local AI are free, with no trial period, watermark or ads in the app.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything except the optional Cloud AI works without an internet connection. Local AI runs on your device. Private Mode goes further and turns off all network access, including update checks.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. Files are processed on your PC. The only exception is Cloud AI, which sends just the text you select to the AI provider — and only after you've switched it on.

Do I need the AI features?

No. The AI is optional. AllofPDF is a complete, fast PDF reader and editor without it.

Is there a portable version? How do updates work?

Yes. Besides the installer there is a portable ZIP that runs without installation or admin rights and keeps its settings next to the app, which is handy for USB drives and locked-down PCs. The installed version downloads signed updates quietly in the background and installs them only after you confirm. Updates come only from our servers and their signature is verified before they are applied. In Private Mode it does not even check for updates.

Which versions of Windows are supported?

Windows 10 and Windows 11, on both x64 and ARM64 PCs.
