GhostPDF+ is the last PDF compressor and toolkit you’ll ever need
GhostPDF+ brings powerful PDF tools to your Mac in one native app. Compress, organize, scan, sign, protect, and extract content from your documents—with local processing and no subscription.
Your PDFs are processed on your Mac, without being uploaded to a server. Work offline, keep control of your documents, and choose the balance of file size and quality that suits your needs.
SMART PDF COMPRESSION
• Quick presets: Choose Light, Medium, or Heavy compression for printing, sharing, or smaller attachments.
• Target-size compression: Set a size limit for each PDF. GhostPDF+ tries progressively stronger compression and tells you if the target cannot be reached.
• Pro controls: Fine-tune image resolution, JPEG quality, color conversion, fonts, and metadata.
• Size estimates: Preview estimated results before you compress.
• Side-by-side comparison: Review the original and compressed document before sharing it.
• Batch processing: Work on several PDFs at once and retry failed files while keeping successful results.
ORGANIZE YOUR DOCUMENTS
• Merge multiple PDFs into one document.
• Split documents or extract selected pages.
• Reorder pages visually or with keyboard controls.
• Rotate pages and remove those you no longer need.
• Resize mixed-size pages to A4.
EXTRACT IMAGES AND FIGURES
Extract embedded images at their stored resolution, or export entire PDF pages as images.
GhostPDF+ also detects vector-based figures, charts, and diagrams. Review the detected regions, adjust the crops, and export image assets for presentations, reports, and research.
SCAN AND CREATE PDFs
Import photographs and existing PDFs, or capture documents with a nearby iPhone or iPad using Continuity Camera.
Crop and straighten pages, adjust color, remove shadows, and create clean black-and-white scans. Export combined or separate PDFs, create an ID card layout, and make scanned text searchable.
SIGN AND PROTECT
• Visual signatures: Add handwriting, typed text, or an image signature.
• Certificate signing: Digitally sign PDFs using your .p12 or .pfx certificate so later changes can be detected.
• Password protection: Encrypt documents and control printing and copying permissions.
• Decryption: Remove password protection when you have the required password.
• Watermarks and page numbers: Add custom text watermarks and numbering.
REPAIR AND ARCHIVE
• Repair & Sanitize: Rebuild damaged PDF files to help resolve common reading and processing problems.
• PDF/A conversion: Prepare documents for long-term archiving.
• Rasterization: Flatten PDF pages into images, removing selectable text and vector content.

• Safer saves: PDF outputs are checked before delivery, and replacing an existing file has stronger recovery protection.
• More reliable PDF tools: improvements to password-protected documents, rotation, merging, and A4 conversion.
• Better extraction and cancellation: clearer reporting when image extraction is incomplete, plus more reliable cancellation during vector extraction and certificate signing.
• Smoother page editing: faster thumbnail handling and improved keyboard controls for selecting and reordering pages.
