Changelog
All updates and version history of Dely PDF.
Last updated: August 6, 2026
Version 2.9
Custom Watermark Position & Interface Fixes
September 9, 2026
Watermark can now go anywhere you want, tool layouts are cleaner, and Compress is more reliable.
- Freeform Watermark Position: Pick from 9 positions (not just center) and set the margin from the page edge.
- Sidebar Moved to the Right: Every tool's settings panel now sits on the right side of the screen so your document stays front and center.
- More Reliable Compress: Fixed a compression path that could damage certain documents, and made the progress bar more accurate.
- Cleaner Interface: Fixed input boxes getting clipped when focused, inconsistent highlight colors, and font-size units now consistently shown in pt across every feature.
- Bug Fixes: Fixed popups that closed without any animation, plus a handful of smaller bugs in Resize and the PDF Editor.
Version 2.8
More Reliable Offline
August 31, 2026
The app holds up far better when the connection drops, and Sign PDF now accepts image uploads.
- Sign from an Image: Upload a JPG or PNG straight into Sign PDF, and Dely converts it to a PDF for you before you sign.
- Ready Offline as Soon as the Page Loads: Open a tool's page briefly while you are still online, and that tool is ready to use later without a connection.
- Switch Tools Without a Connection: Picking another tool from the sidebar keeps working offline, and the tool you picked opens right away.
- A Clear Word When Something Isn't Ready: If a feature really isn't saved for offline use yet, Dely explains it better so you can get back to work.
Version 2.7
New PDF Editor & Form Builder Features
August 6, 2026
The new PDF Editor feature is officially here, replacing the classic PDF Viewer with a comprehensive and secure suite of productivity tools.
- Unified PDF Editor: Transition seamlessly from viewing a document to editing mode with a single click.
- Rich Annotation Tools: Add text, highlights, strikeouts, underlines, and geometric shapes with customizable colors.
- New Form Builder: Create fillable forms directly on your document using text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns.
- Redaction Mode: Protect your privacy by permanently removing sensitive information (text or images) before downloading.
- Interactive Form Filling: Full support for filling out existing AcroForms directly inside your PDF files.
- Unsaved Work Alert: Prevention system to warn you if you attempt to close the browser tab with unsaved edits.
- Direct Printing & Shortcuts: Print documents directly from the editor and navigate pages faster with built-in keyboard shortcuts.
Version 2.6
Text to PDF & Markdown to PDF
July 28, 2026
Two new tools to turn typed or Markdown text into a real, selectable PDF, plus clearer navigation.
- Text to PDF: Paste or type text directly and format it with headings, bold/italic text, alignment, images, and links, then convert it into a real PDF with selectable text.
- Markdown to PDF: Convert a .md file, or Markdown pasted/typed directly, into a PDF, with a live preview so you see exactly how it'll look before converting. Headings, bold/italic text, nested lists, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, links, and images are all rendered as real vector text, not an image.
- Clearer Navigation: Added a breadcrumb and a consistent tool name/icon across upload pages, to help you get your bearings faster.
Version 2.5
SVG, BMP, TIFF, HEIC & New ZIP Support
July 24, 2026
Six new conversion tools (SVG, BMP, TIFF, HEIC, PDF to ZIP, ZIP to PDF), smarter PDF compression, and a much lighter offline app size.
- SVG to PDF: Convert SVG (vector) files straight into PDF without rasterizing, so text and lines stay sharp at any size.
- BMP and TIFF Conversion: Full support for BMP to PDF, PDF to BMP, TIFF to PDF, and PDF to TIFF, including multi-page TIFF files.
- HEIC to PDF: Convert iPhone photos (HEIC format) straight into PDF without converting them manually first.
- PDF to ZIP and ZIP to PDF: Bundle multiple PDFs into a single ZIP file, or extract PDFs from inside a ZIP archive (images, PDFs, text), with the option to combine or keep them separate.
- Smarter PDF Compression: The Compress tool now detects duplicate images inside a PDF, so file size can shrink further without reprocessing the same image twice.
- Much Lighter App Size: Offline-mode storage was cut from 17.4 MB to about 500 KB, making app installs and updates noticeably faster.
- Bug Fixes: Fixed WebP/AVIF/BMP images failing to embed in some tools, the Organize tool missing from sidebar search, a batch progress bar resetting in the Flatten tool, and a broken mode toggle in Split/Extract Pages.
