Vector signature studio with 4 cursive calligraphy models, image uploads, and 120Hz smooth ink.
Side-by-side visual DOM diff comparing two revisions with color-coded additions, deletions, and layout changes.
Chain multiple operations (e.g. OCR → Crop → Compress → Watermark → Encrypt) into a 1-click batch pipeline.
Offline document summarizer, keyword extractor, and translator executing entirely on your local CPU.
Designed for demanding engineering, financial, legal, and research environments where cloud upload is strictly forbidden.
Full multi-element selection, freeform rotation, precision resizing, snap-to-grid (20pt intervals), rulers, alignment guides, and 25%-500% hardware-accelerated zoom scaling.
Deploy text inputs, checkboxes, radio groups, combo dropdowns, and signature containers. Full mathematical dependency graph recalculates instantly on keystrokes.
Render clean TeX mathematical syntax directly into vector paths. Supports integrals, summations, matrices, and fractions with sub-pixel alignment at any zoom level.
Sign legal documents with curated calligraphy typography models or draw smooth 60fps vector ink paths using cubic bezier curve smoothing and pressure simulation.
Embed Bar, Column, Line, Smooth Curve, Area, Donut, Pie, Radar, Scatter, Bubble, Candlestick, Waterfall, and Polar charts directly into documents with live color customization.
Permanent irreversible pixel destruction for sensitive PII with FOIA exemption codes ((b)(4), (b)(6)) and 6-anchor sequential Bates docket indexing across entire discovery bundles.
Transparency by design: all underlying open-source libraries, document engines, graphics frameworks, and runtimes used in FryPDF are fully attributed with verbatim licenses in-app.
Cross-platform XAML GUI framework powering the native desktop windowing, responsive layout, hardware graphics, and MVVM bindings.
High-performance fluent document layout engine powering the export and compilation of responsive vector PDF files.
Deep PDF structural parser, text stream extractor, glyph bounding inspector, and Google Skia 2D graphics rasterizer.

Official store packages and standalone native binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Official Microsoft Store verified desktop app with automatic background updates, or standalone Inno Setup executable installer.
Yes. You can install FryPDF directly from the Microsoft Store (ID: 9P5GW2Q81B33) for 1-click installation, sandboxed security, and seamless automatic updates on Windows 10 and 11.
Yes. FryPDF has zero telemetry, zero analytics beacons, and opens zero network sockets. All document parsing, AcroForm computations, OCR processing, format conversions, and PDF compilation occur directly on your local CPU.
Every tool in FryPDF opens in a dedicated full-page workspace within the Home dashboard. You get rich input file queues, live configuration sidebars, output previews, and 1-click chained navigation directly to subsequent tools without annoying dialogs.
.frypdf is a lossless JSON project schema that stores full vector coordinate systems, live LaTeX formulas, AcroForm bindings, and document metadata without rasterizing your artwork.
Unlike superficial black highlighter overlays, FryPDF physically strips the underlying text strings and vector paths from the compiled document content stream, replacing them with solid pixel fills and legal exemption tags.
Yes. The built-in Batch Pipeline Workflow Builder allows chaining multiple operations (e.g. OCR scanned pages → Compress → Add Watermark → Encrypt) to process folders of documents in a single automated pass.
When downloading binaries outside the Mac App Store, macOS may attach a quarantine flag. Move FryPDF.app to /Applications, then run this one-line command in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/FryPDF.app"
Yes. FryPDF is currently in an early active stage of development (v1.0.0-preview). While the core vector engine, document viewer, and 32 tool workspaces are functional, some features or complex edge cases are actively being refined and will be continuously enhanced in upcoming releases. Feedback and issue reports on GitHub are warmly appreciated!
