Why annotate a PDF?
Annotating a PDF adds visual information: highlight a passage, draw an arrow to point out a detail, frame an area, or add free text. It’s essential for proofreading, collaboration, or presentation.
Document Flare offers local annotations: highlighting, freehand drawing, rectangle, arrow, text. Everything is done in your browser.
No store, no account: a two-click install, double-click to open a PDF, Android share target, and a full offline mode once you have visited the site online once.
Summarizing, translating and searching a PDF with models running inside the browser: what Chrome's built-in AI APIs and Transformers.js change for document privacy.
