Download PdfCraft for your computer

You do not have to install anything: open the editor in your browser and start. If you prefer a desktop app, the official release on GitHub (version 0.8.0, checked 2026-10-15) has these files. The links below go to the official release. AnyEdit does not host or forward the installers.

  1. Windows. Download the .msi installer for your PC and run it, or take the portable .zip if you do not want to install. Pick 64-bit Intel/AMD for most PCs, ARM64 for Snapdragon and other ARM PCs, 32-bit only for old 32-bit systems.
  2. macOS. Download the single universal .dmg, which runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, then open it.
  3. Linux. Choose an AppImage (runs without installing), a .deb (Debian, Ubuntu), an .rpm (Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE), a Flatpak bundle or a tarball, for x86_64 or ARM64.
  4. Check the file. Each release has a SHA256SUMS.txt that lists a checksum for every file.
