My PDF Scanner combines automatic edge detection, auto crop, perspective correction, document filters, signatures, folders, page organization, and on-device OCR in one practical workflow. Basic scanning and PDF export work without ads, watermarks, or an account. Your documents stay local by default. OCR is designed to run on device where supported, so you can recognize text without uploading scans to a document cloud just for that step. Scan and edit: - Capture single-page or multi-page documents - Import photos, images, and supported files - Detect document edges and correct perspective - Crop, rotate, reorder, and merge pages - Apply document filters for clearer, more readable scans - Add signatures and clean unwanted marks OCR and export: - Recognize text on your device - Export scans as PDF or JPG - Export recognized text as TXT or Word (.docx) with Pro - Share files through email, messaging apps, cloud drives, or the system share sheet Organize and protect: - Keep scans in folders with search and sorting - Use an App PIN or in-app password tools to limit access Basic scanning and basic PDF export include: - No ads - No watermark - No account requirement My PDF Scanner is useful for students, freelancers, field workers, small business owners, and anyone who needs to digitize paper documents on the go. Everyday document scanning workflows: - Receipt and invoice scanner: capture expense receipts, purchase records, bills, and invoices, then crop and organize them as PDF files - ID and passport scanner: keep readable copies of identity cards, passport pages, licenses, membership cards, and travel paperwork - Contract and form scanner: scan agreements, applications, registration forms, and work documents, then add a signature before sharing - Notes and book scanner: digitize class notes, handouts, worksheets, whiteboards, book pages, and printed reference material - Photo and image to PDF: import camera photos, screenshots, or JPG images, rotate and reorder them, and build a multi-page PDF A scan can stay editable instead of becoming a single unorganized photo. Use edge detection, perspective correction, cropping, rotation, and document filters to improve each page. Reorder pages in multi-page documents, group related scans into folders, and merge, export, or share them when the document is ready. On-device OCR is useful for recognizing text from receipts, invoices, contracts, forms, notes, and printed pages. Keeping the page flat, evenly lit, and free of shadows can produce more readable OCR results. Local-first organization lets you create folders, search and sort files, and choose when to export a PDF or JPG through the system share sheet. Core scanning does not require an account. Network access is used only for actions such as optional sign-in, purchase restoration, support, legal pages, and platform services.
