## What is Capy Scan?

Scan paper into clean, searchable PDFs on iPhone and iPad. Text recognition runs entirely on your device, so your documents are never uploaded and no account is needed.

No subscription: unlock Pro with a single purchase. No ads, no watermarks, no page limits. A calm capybara guides you along.

If your old scanner app shut down or started charging: Capy Scan needs no login, and saves PDFs on your iPhone and in the Files app.

■ JUST SCAN
• Finds the four corners, then fixes distortion and tilt and crops the page
• With Auto capture, just hold your iPhone over the page. The page count shows in the corner
• Removes shadows and lighting tints for white paper and black text, while keeping faint pencil and red stamps
• Shot at an angle? Pages are saved at their true proportions, not squashed

■ FIND IT LATER
• On-device text recognition (English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and major European languages) adds an invisible text layer to every PDF
• Search by file name or by the text inside your documents
• Suggests file names from the document's title (for example: Invoice_20260427.pdf) (Pro)

■ BUILT FOR WORK
• Markup, signatures, highlighter, and redaction (redacted text is removed from the PDF too)
• Splits book spreads into left and right pages
• Puts the front and back of an ID card on one page, at actual size
• Adds business cards to Contacts, and reads the date and total from receipts

■ READY TO SEND
• Export as PDF, JPG, or text, and see the file size before you share
• Shrink PDFs to email size, and automatically put saved PDFs in a folder of your choice in the Files app (Pro)
• Add a password when you send (the PDF in the app stays as is)
• Share, Files app, print, mail, or copy

■ STAY ORGANIZED
• Folders and tags, Favorites, list and grid views
• Reorder, rotate, delete, and extract pages, and merge multiple PDFs
• Start a scan right from a widget or Control Center

■ PRICING
• Pro is a one-time purchase. No monthly or yearly fee

• No watermarks. No ads. No account
