Turn your iPhone into a pocket document scanner: point the camera at any paper page and get a clean, auto-cropped multi-page PDF in seconds โ then pull the words off the page, drop your signature on it, and send it without ever leaving the app. Most scanner apps stop at the capture. This one finishes the job entirely on your device: automatic page detection squares and straightens the paper, on-device text recognition turns every scan into words you can search, copy, and export, and your saved handwritten signature goes straight onto the page. No account, no upload, no internet connection at any step. WHAT YOU GET - Clean multi-page PDFs straight from the camera, with automatic page detection and perspective correction - Searchable, copyable text lifted off any scan by on-device recognition, page by page, exported as TXT or PDF - Your handwritten signature drawn once, saved, then placed on any page and written back into the document - A business card reader that pulls out name, email and phone, and a receipt reader for merchant, date, total and line items - A QR and barcode reader, plus converters that turn photos from your library or typed text into a PDF - A tidy library: folders, favorites, search, sorting, rename, page reorder, rotate and delete, then share or AirDrop as PDF PERFECT FOR - Freelancers and small businesses turning contracts and invoices into signed PDFs - Students digitizing handouts, notes, and printed chapters - Anyone filing receipts, IDs, and paperwork for taxes or personal records - Remote workers who need to scan, sign, and send a document from their phone WHY NOT JUST PHOTOGRAPH THE PAPER? A camera photo is crooked, shadowed, oversized, and buried in your camera roll. This app squares the page, builds a proper multi-page PDF, makes the words searchable, lets you sign it, and hands you one file you can actually email. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no cloud upload, no tracking. Every scan, every text recognition pass, and every PDF is created and stored locally on your device, and the app works with no internet connection at all. FULL ACCESS The free version gives you 5 scans per day plus the QR and barcode reader and the photo-to-PDF and text-to-PDF converters. Full Access removes the daily scan limit and unlocks text extraction from your scans, saved signatures and document signing, and the business card and receipt readers. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase you pay once and keep forever. Scan your first page in the next 30 seconds โ open the app and tap Scan.

Print 2 Ship turns any shipping-label PDF into a print-ready file. No more screenshot-and-crop, no more labels landing crooked on the sticker. Drop a PDF or image from PostNL, bpost, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Shopify, Etsy โ any carrier โ into the app. The label area is detected automatically, you tweak the crop if needed, and everything prints in one go โ on a 4ร6 thermal label printer, an inkjet, a laser printer, on A4 or Letter sheets, or at a custom size you define. Ideal for online shops, freelancers, and makers shipping packages daily. MULTIPLE LABELS PER SHEET No label printer? Print on plain sheets instead. Set up a grid โ 2 ร 5 address labels on A4, for example โ with your own sheet margins and spacing. A live preview shows exactly where every label lands, and label size can adjust itself so the grid fits the sheet perfectly. WHAT THE APP DOES โข Drag-and-drop PDFs and images โ multi-page PDFs are split into individual labels automatically โข Auto-detection of the label area, with a manual crop overlay for the edge cases โข Zoom and pan while cropping, so you can fine-tune down to the millimetre โข Your own presets for label sizes (4ร6 inch, A6, or fully custom in mm or inch) โข Multiple labels per sheet, with a live preview of the grid โข Batch printing โ your entire queue sent to the printer at once โข Save or share as PDF โ export your cropped labels without a printer, for a copy shop or another device โข Light/dark theme that follows your system โข Memory-aware: handles large batches smoothly ON ALL YOUR DEVICES On Mac: drag-and-drop, a sidebar with your presets, and the system print panel.
