Pagequill

Pagequill is a one-screen PDF converter for people who move between PDFs and other formats every single day — and want it done in seconds, without an account, a subscription nag, or a single byte leaving their Mac.

Drop a PDF in and get clean page images or text back. Drop images in and get a single combined PDF. Scanned documents that have no selectable text get read on-device with Apple's Vision framework, so even old scans convert to searchable text — no cloud OCR service required.

What makes it different:

• Fully offline. No servers, no accounts, no tracking — every conversion happens on your Mac.
• One screen. Drag files in, watch the queue, done. No wizards, no multi-step dialogs.
• Menu bar Quick Convert. Drop a file on the menu bar icon to convert it instantly with your last-used settings, without opening a window.
• On-device OCR. Scanned PDFs become real, searchable text using Apple Vision — nothing is uploaded.
• Batch queue. Convert a whole folder of files at once with live per-file progress.

The core conversions — PDF to images, PDF to text, and images to PDF — are included for single files. Unlock Pagequill Pro once to add batch processing, on-device OCR, Markdown export, custom export quality, and the menu bar Quick Convert.
