## What is DocLocal?

DocLocal turns your iPhone into a fast, private document scanner. Scan paper to PDF, recognize text on device, organize files in folders, and edit PDFs—all without uploading your documents to the cloud.

WHY DOCLOCAL?
• Private by design — PDFs and OCR stay on your iPhone unless you share them
• On-device OCR — searchable PDFs, copy text, full-text search across your library
• No account required — start scanning in seconds
• Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock for your document library

SCAN & CREATE PDF
• Multi-page document scanner with auto edge detection
• Import photos or existing PDF files
• Filters: Auto Clean, Document, B&W, Grayscale, and more
• Rotate, crop, reorder, add or remove pages before saving
• Edit pages on saved PDFs anytime

SMART ORGANIZATION
• Folders for Contracts, Tax, Medical, Invoices, Banking, and more
• Smart rename suggestions from OCR content
• Tags, favorites, pin, and advanced filters (date, amount, type)
• Find duplicate PDFs and manage Trash

POWERFUL PDF TOOLS

Edit & Mark Up
• Highlight — mark important areas in your PDF with color highlights
• Text notes — add text notes directly on any page
• Signature — draw a signature or import one from a photo; move, resize, and reuse saved signatures
• Watermark — add custom text watermarks with adjustable size, color, opacity, and rotation; centered or full-page repeat

Protect & Clean Up
• Password protection — lock PDFs with a password; create a protected copy, original unchanged
• Redact text — hide sensitive information (IDs, account numbers, emails) with solid color or blur; creates a flattened, share-safe PDF

Pages & File Size
• Split & extract pages — pull out page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8; choose A4, Letter, Legal, or original size
• Merge PDFs — combine multiple files into one
• Compress PDF — reduce file size with original, high-quality, balanced, or maximum compression (Pro)

Export & Print
• Export pages as JPEG — save each page as a separate JPG image
• Export to Word (.docx) or Excel (.xlsx) from recognized OCR text (Pro)
• AirPrint — send PDFs directly to your printer
• Share PDFs via the iOS share sheet

SEARCH
• Search inside OCR text across all your documents instantly

LANGUAGES
App interface: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic.
OCR supports 20+ document languages including English, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and more.
