Crease is a native Mac app for the PDF tasks you keep googling. Merge, split, organize, compress, rotate, and convert — without a subscription and without uploading anything to a server.
Every operation runs on your Mac. Files never touch the internet. No temporary cloud, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. The app works the same on a plane as it does in your office.
SEVEN TOOLS, ONE APP
• Merge — combine PDFs in any order. Drag thumbnails to rearrange.
• Split — break a PDF into ranges, every N pages, or extract a custom selection.
• Organize — reorder, rotate, and delete pages in one view. Drag to rearrange. Space to rotate.
• Compress — Low, Medium, or High, with live before-and-after sizing.
• Rotate — flip pages by 90°, 180°, or 270°. Stored as page metadata; no re-encoding.
• Images → PDF — turn photos and scans into a single PDF. JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, and WebP.
• PDF → Images — export pages as PNG or JPG, at 72, 150, or 300 DPI.
