  • The full app: view, edit, comment, organise, combine and create PDFs

HearthPDF is a desktop app. Your PDFs stay on your computer and are never uploaded. Read the privacy page.

Check your download (optional)

Only download HearthPDF from this website or from our GitHub page. Each release on GitHub lists the file’s SHA-256 fingerprint. To check yours, open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and run:

Get-FileHash .\HearthPDF-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

The long code it prints should match the one in the release notes exactly.
