Scan paper to PDF, and keep the paper on your phone
Point the camera at a document, get a straightened, readable PDF, and pull the text out with OCR. Everything happens on the device.
Scans that look scanned, not photographed
Automatic edge detection finds the page, perspective correction squares it, and lighting correction makes it readable. Combine several scans into one PDF for a contract, a stack of receipts, or a notebook worth of notes.
The text comes with it
On-device OCR extracts the text from any scan or image, so you can copy a paragraph out of a printed contract, search a receipt for an amount, or reuse notes without retyping them.
Private because it never leaves
Scanning and text recognition run on the phone. No account, no cloud processing, no document uploaded anywhere. Share the result by email, cloud storage, or any app you choose, and only when you choose.
More than a picture of a page
A scan becomes a real PDF with a searchable text layer underneath, so the document you file today is findable by its words months from now. Add a signature, a text box, or an image on top of a page before you export. The ID Card layout places the front and back of a card on a single sheet, the way anyone asking for a copy of your licence actually wants it.
Keep the pile organized
Group scans into folders, and tag each one as a document, a receipt, or an ID card so you can filter to just the receipts at tax time. Password-protect a PDF before it leaves your phone, print straight to an AirPrint printer, or start a scan hands-free by asking Siri or running the Shortcut. The app is localized in thirty languages.
Questions before you scan
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Scanning and text recognition run on the device with Apple’s Vision engine. Nothing is sent to a server, and you share a result only when you choose to.
Can I pull the text out of a scan?
Yes. On-device OCR makes the text selectable, searchable and editable, so you can copy from a printed page instead of retyping it.
Is it free?
Yes, free on iPhone and iPad.
