Turn any piece of paper into a clean, share-ready PDF in seconds. Hold your iPhone over a receipt, a contract, an ID or a page of notes. The camera finds the edges, straightens the angle and captures at the right moment β€” so you get a flat, sharp document instead of a crooked photo. SCANNING THAT JUST WORKS β€’ Automatic edge detection and auto-capture β€’ Perspective correction on every page β€’ Filters for crisp black-and-white text, grayscale or full color β€’ Scan 12 pages in a row and keep them as one tidy file A FULL PDF TOOLBOX β€’ Merge separate files into one document β€’ Split a long file and keep only the pages you need β€’ Convert photos into PDF, or pages into JPG and PNG β€’ Reorder, rotate, crop and rename after scanning TEXT RECOGNITION Lift the words straight out of a scan. Copy them, edit them, search them, export them. Ideal for lecture notes, invoice numbers, and anything you would rather not retype. SIGN WITHOUT A PRINTER Draw your signature once and reuse it whenever you need it. Add a date or a checkmark, place it exactly where it belongs, and send the contract back in a minute. MADE FOR ORDINARY DAYS Students file handouts. Freelancers send invoices. Parents scan a school form on the way out the door. Everything you keep goes into a searchable library, so a document from three months ago is two taps away. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Scanning, text recognition and PDF work happen on your iPhone. No account to create, no upload, no cloud you never asked for. UNLOCK PRO Get the whole toolbox with no limits, and handle every document in one place. Fast, quiet and built for iOS β€” the app gets out of the way and your document is simply done.
