About

Crisp Document Scanner

Read full description

Crisp Document Scanner is built on a simple idea: scanning a document shouldn't require an account, a subscription, or sending your data to a third-party server. All processing happens on your iPhone or iPad, using Apple's own frameworks. Your scans are saved to iCloud and accessible from the Files app on all your devices. No compromises. SCAN IN ONE TAP Open the app and tap Scan. That's it. Automatic edge detection finds the edges of your document and perspective correction straightens it instantly. Scan a single receipt or a 50-page contract in one session. The camera adapts to your environment and captures sharp, clean pages every time. SEARCHABLE PDFs WITH OCR Every scan is automatically processed with on-device text recognition. The result: PDFs where you can search for any word, select text, and copy it to other apps. Looking for an amount on a 20-page statement? Just search. Need to copy an address from a letter? Select and copy. OCR supports English, Spanish, and French, with automatic language detection. Even handwritten text is recognized. PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY DOCUMENTS - Invoices and bills - Receipts and purchase confirmations - Bank and credit card statements - Contracts and agreements - Letters and official correspondence - Meeting notes and memos - Certificates and forms - Any paper document you want to digitize SAVED TO iCLOUD All your scans are saved directly to iCloud and accessible from the Files app on any of your Apple devices. Browse, rename, organize into folders, and manage your documents the way you already manage all your other files. No proprietary format, no lock-in — just standard PDF files in your iCloud Drive. SHARE INSTANTLY Send your scans anywhere. Use AirDrop to share with nearby devices, attach to an email or message, or share directly from the Files app. Works with every app that accepts PDF files. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This is not just a feature — it is the foundation of the app. - No account required. Open the app and start scanning. - No third-party servers. Your documents go to your iCloud, not ours. - No analytics or tracking. We don't know what you scan. - No ads. A clean interface, nothing else. - No subscription. Pay once, use forever. All text recognition and document processing happens locally using Apple's native Vision and VisionKit frameworks. Your documents are yours and yours alone. BUILT WITH APPLE FRAMEWORKS Document Scanner relies entirely on Apple's native technologies: VisionKit for camera scanning, Vision for text recognition, PDFKit for PDF generation, and iCloud for seamless sync. This means fast performance, low battery usage, and seamless integration with iOS. No third-party libraries, no external dependencies, no surprises.
