Using Fixamgo

Work on a document

Join, remove pages, swap pages, edit the words, convert between formats and shrink a file that is too big to send.

The same six tools on both, arranged differently because the screens are different. The phone gives each tool its own screen; the browser keeps one document open and lets every tool work on it in turn.

On your phone

In the Fixamgo app

  1. Open Fixamgo and go to the Files tab, which is the File Processor.
  2. Pick the job: Join, Remove, Replace, Edit, Convert or Compress.
  3. Choose your document from your phone's storage when asked.
  4. Set the options for that tool, then run it.
  5. Save the result to your phone, or share it straight to WhatsApp or email.
In a browser

In a browser

  1. Open app.fixamgo.com/files and add your PDF, or drag it onto the page.
  2. The pages appear in the middle. Tap any page to select it.
  3. Pick a tool on the right and run it. The result stays loaded, so the next tool carries on from it without re-uploading.
  4. Download when you are done.

Compress is the one most people are looking for: a form that refuses your upload because the file is too big usually accepts it after one pass at Balanced.
