Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about Pagira.

Pagira is for anyone who needs to read self-contained HTML sites, single HTML pages or PDFs directly on their iPhone or iPad, especially offline. Typical users include:

  • Students whose courses are exported as HTML (medicine, law and other fields), or distributed as e-learning packages.
  • Technical documentation that ships as a website: electronics, mechanics, engineering manuals, datasheets and reference guides.
  • Developers and writers previewing static sites and generated docs (Doxygen, Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Storybook, Javadoc).
  • Reports and exports such as Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown or test reports saved to HTML.
  • Saved web pages and articles you want to keep and read later, offline.

If your content is a folder of HTML, a single page or a PDF, Pagira is built to open it cleanly.

Pagira opens three things:

  • A full local website folder - it shows the whole site with all its pages, images and styles.
  • A single web page, when that's all you have.
  • PDF documents, in a clean, built-in reader.

You can open them from the Files app, from iCloud Drive, or from another app's share sheet with "Open with Pagira".

Quick Look only previews a single file on its own, so its linked images, styles and pages usually break. Pagira opens the whole folder the way a browser would, so the complete site works - layout, images and even its interactive parts.

You have a couple of options:

  • Drop it into Pagira's folder. Pagira's folder is exposed in the Files app, so you can copy a site into it from a Mac (via Finder) or from Files / iCloud Drive.
  • Keep it in iCloud Drive. Open the folder directly from iCloud and Pagira streams the assets on demand - no full download needed up front.

For a website, point Pagira at the folder rather than a single file so every asset and subfolder resolves.

Yes. Items in iCloud Drive stream on demand while you're online. To read without a connection:

  • Use Download for offline to keep a permanent copy on the device.
  • Or save the page to your reading list, which keeps a complete snapshot.

When you're offline, an offline banner shows which items are still available.

The reading list is a Safari-style side panel where you save the current page or PDF. Each saved item is kept as a complete snapshot (the full page) or a PDF copy, so it stays readable offline. You can filter by read or unread, mark items, and delete them.

Download for offline makes a permanent copy of an item inside the app, also visible in the Files app. The copy is resumable if it's interrupted and non-destructive, so the original stays where it is and the item remains readable without a connection.

Yes. Recent items are remembered, and there's a setting to automatically reopen the last item you were reading when you launch Pagira.

Yes. Pagira runs entirely on your device. Your files and reading data are never uploaded or shared, and the app includes no analytics or tracking. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Pagira is one app for iPhone and iPad.

Pagira is a one-time purchase of $4.99 with no subscription. All future updates are included.
