Scan to PDF turns any paper document into a searchable PDF, entirely on your iPhone. Point, capture, done. Buy it once. No ads, no subscription, no account. Ever. WHY THIS ONE Most scanner apps hide text recognition or PDF export behind a monthly subscription, or stamp a watermark on your documents. This one costs less than a single month of almost any of them, once. SCAN β€’ Automatic edge detection and perspective correction β€’ Multi-page documents in a single scan β€’ Sharp, cropped results without manual adjustment READ THE TEXT β€’ On-device text recognition in dozens of languages β€’ Text is embedded in the PDF, so it stays searchable in Files, Mail and Preview β€’ View and copy the recognized text at any time FIND ANYTHING β€’ Full-text search across every scan you own β€’ Matches show the surrounding sentence, not just the file name β€’ Tag documents as receipts, invoices, contracts, ID, medical, tax or notes SHARE β€’ Export a real PDF to Files, Mail, Messages or any app β€’ Rename anything, any time β€’ Multi-page documents export as one file YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY YOURS β€’ Nothing is uploaded. There is no server, and no account. β€’ Text recognition runs on device using Apple's Vision framework β€’ Works completely offline, even in airplane mode β€’ No data collected, no tracking, no analytics β€’ Full dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type β€’ iPhone and iPad Free web tools ask you to upload private paperwork to a stranger's server. This app never sends your documents anywhere.
