A FEW MORE DETAILS.

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Is VARAK PDF free?

Yes. Editing existing PDF text, adding text, filling forms, signing, annotating, scanning, OCR, page tools, find & replace, export to PDF/A, PNG, JPEG and text, compression and on-device AI are free, with no account, no watermark and no ads. VARAK PRO is optional and adds professional tools.

Can you edit the actual text inside a PDF, or only add a text box on top?

VARAK edits the existing text in place. It changes the page's own text and keeps the original font whenever the document carries it, so a corrected word sits in the line rather than in a box on top. Lines you did not touch are left unchanged. Text editing is free.

What does VARAK PRO add?

Export to Word and Excel, bank statement to Excel, redaction that removes the text and finding personal data, comparing two PDFs, batch processing, document packs, headers and footers, Bates numbering, watermarks and certificate (digital ID) signatures.

How much does VARAK PRO cost?

Monthly is US$1.99 a month and Yearly is US$14.99 a year (about US$1.25 a month); both include a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Lifetime is US$39.99, paid once. Local prices are set by the App Store.

Is Lifetime really a one-time purchase?

Yes. Lifetime is paid once: no subscription and no renewal. Lifetime buyers keep every Pro feature permanently, on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple Account. Use Restore Purchases on a new device.

How do I cancel a subscription?

Open Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on iPhone or iPad (on Mac, your account in the Mac App Store), select VARAK PRO and cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. Pro stays available until the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime has nothing to cancel.

Do my documents get uploaded to a server?

No. Files are processed on your device and VARAK does not upload your documents. There is no account, no ads and no third-party analytics. On-device AI (Ask the document, Explain, Rewrite, Translate) runs on the device too.

Is redaction in VARAK permanent, or just a black rectangle?

Redaction in VARAK PRO removes the text from the file instead of drawing a box over it, and it can find personal data for you to review and redact. A black rectangle drawn over text leaves the text in the file, where it can still be selected or extracted.

Can it recognise text in a scanned document?

Yes, free. Scan with the camera or from photos, then recognize text on the device, so a scan becomes searchable, selectable text. Make Editable turns recognized text into text you can edit.

Does it work on Mac as well as iPhone and iPad?

Yes. The same app runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and one VARAK PRO purchase or subscription covers all three with the same Apple Account.

Can I convert a PDF to Word or Excel?

Yes, with VARAK PRO: export to Word and Excel, and turn bank statements into spreadsheets. Export to PDF/A, PNG, JPEG and text is free.

What happens to a PDF that is damaged or will not open?

VARAK's engine is built to recover from malformed files rather than refuse them. It rebuilds the cross-reference information when a file's internal index is broken, which is the usual reason a PDF opens in one app and not another.

Will VARAK add a watermark to my PDF?

No. VARAK never stamps its own watermark on your files, free or PRO. The PRO Watermark tool adds a text watermark only when you choose to.

Do I need an account to use VARAK?

No. There is no sign-up and no login, and VARAK never uploads your files.

Why do some PDF editors change the font, and does VARAK?

Many editors can only draw a new text box, or the PDF embeds just a subset of the font. VARAK edits the page’s own text and keeps the original font whenever the document embeds it; otherwise it uses the closest matching font and tells you.

I used Microsoft Lens. Can VARAK scan documents instead?

Yes. Microsoft retired Lens in 2026. VARAK scans with the camera or from photos, with edge detection, crop, filters, multi-page and ID-card mode, and runs OCR on the device. Scanning and OCR are free.

Do I pay separately for iPhone, iPad and Mac?

No. VARAK is a universal purchase: one VARAK PRO subscription or Lifetime purchase works on all three with the same Apple Account.

Is VARAK the same as Waraq or Warraq PDF?

No. VARAK PDF Editor & Scanner is an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac (App Store id 6811138805), published by VARAK (support@varak.app). It is not affiliated with Waraq, Warraq PDF or other tools with similar names. “Varak” is the Turkish word for a sheet of paper.
