Draw on PDF: questions
- Will it work on a phone?
- Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
- Do I need to pay or register?
- No. Every tool on this site is free, with no account, no email and nothing to install.
- Which file types does Draw on PDF accept?
- The drop area takes PDF. Files are read from your device in the browser, so the format has to be one a browser can decode — that is why the accepted list on this page is finite and honest rather than "everything".
- What do I get back from Draw on PDF?
- The result is PDF, offered as a download the moment the work finishes. Multiple results come back together rather than as fifty separate save dialogs.
