## What is Scan Cam PDF?

Scan Cam turns your iPhone into a document scanner. You photograph a sheet of paper, the app finds its edges, straightens it and cleans up the text: what you get is a real scan, not a photo of a piece of paper.

And it all happens on your phone. No account to create, nothing sent to a server, no adverts. Your invoices, your contracts and your identity papers never leave your iPhone — except on the day you decide to share them yourself.

SCANNING
• Edges detected and the page straightened, even shot at an angle
• Four looks: original photo, colour, greyscale, black and white
• Strength adjustable with your finger, with a preview that follows
• Shadows removed in one tap, for pages shot under a lamp or a hand
• Several pages in one document, to reorder, rotate or remove

ORGANIZING
• Folders and subfolders, like on a computer
• A search that also finds what is filed deep inside a folder, and tells you where
• Rename, move, duplicate, delete

FINISHING AND SHARING
• Export to PDF or JPEG
• Add text on a page
• Print straight from the app
• Save to the Files app, or send through the iPhone's share sheet

SCAN CAM PRO
The free version is complete and never expires: scan, organize, filter, annotate, print and export to PDF as much as you like. Free PDFs carry a small "Scanned with Scan Cam" line at the foot of the page.

The Pro subscription adds:
• PDF with no line at the foot
• Text recognition, which reads your pages and hands you the text to copy
• Signature, drawn with your finger and placed where you want it
• Watermark, across the page
• Merging several documents into one
• Pulling pages out into a new document
• Export to Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx)

Text recognition runs on the phone, with no internet: it reads the Latin alphabet, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

NINE LANGUAGES
The app reads in French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-16

This version brings three new languages and a choice of file size when you share.

CHOOSE THE FILE SIZE
• When you share a PDF or a JPEG, pick High, Medium or Light. The real size of the file is shown before you send it, so it fits under an attachment limit.
• Your document itself is never changed: the lighter file is made just for that send. Free for everyone.

NINE LANGUAGES
• Scan Cam now speaks Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Korean, as well as French, English, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese.
• Text recognition now also reads Korean.

ALSO
• Swipe through the welcome screens with your finger, forwards and back.
• With a very large text size on your iPhone, the welcome screens and the Pro screen now fit without anything overlapping.
• Two documents scanned in the same minute no longer get exactly the same name.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-05

This version reworks the document screen and the filters screen.

YOUR PAGES, RIGHT THERE
• Swipe the preview from one page to the next — and it is much larger.
• A cross on a thumbnail removes a page, a long press moves it, a button turns it. The "Manage pages" screen is no longer needed and is gone.
• "Add a page" joins the row of tools, in blue.

FILTERS
• Every page of the document is in the preview, so you can check the look on each one before applying it.
• The whole screen fits, with nothing to scroll.
• After a new scan, the filters open before the document.

ALSO
• A "Rate the app" row in Settings.
• Recommending Scan Cam now sends the App Store link with it.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-04

This version brings no changes to the app itself.

We have refreshed our App Store page: a short video now shows Scan Cam in use, and the description explains more clearly what the app does — and what never leaves your iPhone.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-02

No release notes.
