Irfan PDF dashboard with upload area, quick stats and recent files — Dashboard: upload zone, quick stats and recent files. Real capture from the running application.

Everything a PDF job needs — in one window

Each capability below exists in the shipped build and is exercised by the 43-suite regression gate (latest run 2026-10-17: 43 / 43 suites PASS). Nothing here is a mock-up.

PDF viewing

Open documents, browse pages with cached thumbnails, and read at the zoom you choose.

PDF editing

Change existing text and add new content — while the page keeps looking like the original.

OCR

Turn scans and photos into text you can search, select and fix — offline, with the English PP-OCRv5 model.

Conversions

Move documents between PDF, Word, Excel and images with validation before anything is called “done”.

Organise pages

Assemble, rearrange and finish documents without a second tool.

Compression

Shrink documents and images — either pick a level or name the exact file size you need.

Why people keep it installed

A practical tool earns trust by never lying about what it did.

Nothing leaves your PC

The server listens on 127.0.0.1 only. There is no upload, no account, no telemetry and no analytics code in the product.

Results are proven, not promised

Compression sizes are re-measured, redactions are re-read, Excel files are opened and checked — the app verifies its own output.

Documents keep their look

Edits reuse the document's own embedded fonts; OCR covers are fitted to the ink so tables and borders survive untouched.

Analysis you can trace

The local AI Assistant only shows sentences that were re-read from your file — quoted, page-scoped, and confirmed before display.

How it works

Five steps, the same every time — no hidden dialogs.

1
Open the app
Installer shortcuts, .pdf association or the portable START-APPLICATION script — no Python, no internet.
2
Drop your file
Drag a PDF anywhere onto the dashboard. Scans are auto-rotated and auto-straightened on upload.
3
Pick the job
OCR, convert, edit, compress, organise, secure or print — every tool follows the same pick → set → run pattern.
4
Review the result
The outcome card states exactly what changed (size before/after, pages touched, warnings). Nothing claims success it did not check.
5
Save or open
Download, open the output folder or reveal it in Explorer — the original file is never overwritten behind your back.

Built for real document work

Every use case maps to a capability that is tested in the shipped suite.

Students & research

Turn lecture scans into searchable text, extract quotes, convert readings to Word for notes.

Accounting & finance

Extract tables to real Excel, batch-compress statements, search amounts across the library.

Compliance & legal

Password-protect with AES-256, permanently redact, compare revisions, keep everything offline.

Document teams

Run watermark/compress/rotate jobs across up to 200 files with a CSV report and retry for failures.

IT administrators

Per-user install without admin rights, self-contained portable package, health check for support.

System requirements

Exactly what the installation guide states — nothing else to install.

Requirements

Operating system: Windows 10 (1809 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit
Disk: about 400 MB for the self-contained packages (bundled runtime ≈ 350 MB)
No Python, no pip, no internet connection, no account, no cloud service
Installer (110.6 MiB) or Professional package (148.6 MiB) carry their own runtime

Source package, if you already have Python

The small IrfanPDF_Portable.zip is the application sources: it bundles no Python, so it needs the PC’s own Python 3.10+ and one pip install -r requirements.txt (its README says so, and the launcher is in the folder root). Use the installer or the Professional package unless you specifically want the sources. Details on the Download Center.

FAQ preview

The four questions people ask before downloading.

Does Irfan PDF upload my documents?

No. The application binds to 127.0.0.1 on your machine; no HTTP client, telemetry or analytics exists in the code.

Do I need Python or internet to install it?

No. The installer and the Professional package carry their own Python runtime — Windows 10/11 64-bit is the only requirement.

Will OCR change how my document looks?

Searchable OCR keeps the original appearance (invisible text layer). Editable OCR may re-lay-out glyphs it covers — both are documented with their limits.

What happens to digitally signed PDFs?

They are refused with an explanation instead of being modified — adding a text layer would invalidate the signature.
