About

ScanOwl

Features
Read full description

ScanOwl is a private document workspace for scanning documents and IDs, importing PDFs and images, adding signatures and watermarks, extracting text, organizing pages, and exporting clean files. Every scan comes out flat and straight: tilted shots square themselves up, page edges snap precisely into place, and crease shadows or uneven lighting lift away for a clean, copier-white page — with a quick corner check before you save. Merge, split, compress, reorder, convert, or protect documents from one app. Files and signatures are processed locally on your device whenever the selected workflow supports it. ScanOwl Pro offers Weekly $6.99/week, Annual $29.99/year, and legacy Monthly $9.99/month auto-renewable subscriptions. Eligible new subscribers can receive a 3-day free trial on Monthly and Annual plans. Prices may vary by region and are always shown in the App Store purchase sheet before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in App Store account settings. Pro includes multipage scanning, OCR, unlimited exports, and a clean ad-free document workflow.
