## What is Scanner?

Scan any document and let AI do the rest.

Scanner turns your phone into a powerful document scanner, PDF creator, file converter, and AI document assistant. Capture paperwork in seconds, summarize long reports, extract key information, and ask questions about anything you scan.

SCAN ANYTHING IN SECONDS

Point your camera at a page and Scanner automatically detects the edges, captures it when steady, corrects the perspective, improves the lighting, and creates a clean digital copy.

• Hands-free auto-capture
• Automatic edge detection and smart cropping
• Perspective and lighting correction
• Batch scanning for up to 50 pages
• Scan receipts, invoices, notes, contracts, photos, ID cards, and passports
• Scan both sides of an ID card
• Built-in QR code scanner

AI THAT READS FOR YOU

Save time on long or complicated documents with built-in AI tools.

• Summarize documents in seconds
• Extract names, dates, amounts, numbers, and action items
• Ask questions about scanned documents
• Find specific details without reading every page
• Translate scanned documents into your language

AI features are optional. When you choose to use them, relevant document text or page images may be securely processed by third-party AI providers after you grant permission. AI-generated results may be inaccurate, so verify important information.

CONVERT TO EDITABLE FILES

Turn paper documents into files you can continue editing on your phone or computer.

• Convert scans into editable text documents
• Extract tables into spreadsheets
• Turn documents into presentations
• Export as PDF, image, editable document, spreadsheet, or presentation files
• Combine multiple pages or images into one PDF
• Share files through email, messaging apps, or cloud storage

EDIT, SIGN, AND SHARE

Prepare documents without needing a computer.

• Crop, rotate, reorder, and enhance pages
• Add your signature to PDF documents
• Create and reuse a digital signature
• Scan and save invoices as PDF files
• Organize multiple pages into one document

STAY ORGANIZED

Keep important documents easy to find.

• Smart folders for receipts, ID cards, invoices, and more
• Full-text search across scanned documents
• Search inside PDFs using recognized text
• Filter by scans, documents, spreadsheets, or presentations
• Rename and organize files in one place
• Optional account and cloud sync across devices

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Your scans stay on your device by default. Document capture and basic text recognition are processed locally. You can scan, save, and export without creating an account.

Documents are uploaded only when you enable cloud sync or actively use a feature that requires online processing, such as AI or file conversion. AI features require permission before document content is sent for processing. Scanner does not sell your personal information or display third-party ads.

HOW TO SCAN A DOCUMENT

1. Open Scanner and create a new document.
2. Point your camera at the page.
3. Scanner automatically detects and captures it.
4. Crop, enhance, reorder, or add more pages.
5. Save as PDF or convert it into another format.

SCANNER PREMIUM

Some features, including AI tools, file conversion, advanced PDF editing, and QR code tools, may require a Scanner Premium subscription.

Available plans, prices, billing periods, and included features are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your store account after confirmation.

### 1/5 — More lies, this is a paid only App

*2023-09-28*

Apple needs to STOP allowing paid only apps to be listed as free. This app does nothing at all unless you pay. I’m getting so sick of this deceptive practice. This is a small app, but it is the same lies as the large ones, gets us to waste our limited data downloading something of zero value. I will not pay to evaluate an app.  They can pay me.

### 5/5 — Love

**Developer response:** We are glad that you liked our application, please stay tuned for updates.

### 2/5 — Just started

*2021-09-04*

I have been asked to rate this app at least four times while trying to use it for the first scan. That is annoying. I was able to scan without difficulty but was not prompted for a name of the document. That was an additional step, and on my iPhone I could not see the text as I was typing, only after I was “done”, which was annoying because it appended my file name to the one it assigned so I had to do it over. Having a great time so far.

**Developer response:** Dear User, we are sorry to hear that there were features that were not working for you. Please share the exact issues you had at support@42dijital.com and we will do our best to rectify those at the earliest. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Id scanner

Haven’t tried yet

**Developer response:** We are glad that you liked our application, please stay tuned for updates.

### 5/5 — Green card
