Pagira vs PDF Document Scanner

Pagira displays your standalone HTML sites, individual HTML pages and your PDFs directly on your iPhone and iPad, even without a connection. Where most readers settle for a rough rendering, Pagira opens a real, complete web folder (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, subfolders) and renders it like a browser, locally. WHO IS IT FOR? Pagira is for anyone who needs to read standalone HTML sites, individual HTML pages or PDFs directly on their device, especially offline. Typical uses: - Students whose courses are exported as HTML (medicine, law and other fields), or delivered as e-learning modules. - Technical documentation shipped as a website: electronics, mechanics, engineering manuals, datasheets and reference guides. - Developers and writers previewing static sites and generated documentation (Doxygen, Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Storybook, Javadoc). - Reports and exports such as Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown or test reports saved as HTML. - Web pages and articles you want to keep and read later, offline. If your content is an HTML folder, a single page or a PDF, Pagira is built to open it cleanly. FEATURES - Full HTML rendering: CSS, JavaScript, images and subfolders genuinely work. fetch/XHR, ES modules and even WebAssembly are supported, because the content is served through a real local web origin, not a simple file preview. - Built-in PDF reader: continuous scrolling and automatic scaling, for your local or iCloud PDFs. - 100% offline: once the content is on your device, everything opens without a connection. Perfect on a plane, while travelling or in areas with no network. - Local files and iCloud Drive: open from the Files app, your local storage or iCloud Drive, and also via "Open in Pagira" from other apps. - iCloud on demand: iCloud files are streamed as you go (without downloading everything), or downloaded explicitly for a permanent offline copy, visible in Files. - Reading list: save a page or a PDF for later. Each item is captured as a self-contained snapshot (web archive or PDF copy), so it stays available offline, with read/unread marking. - History: find every page you have viewed, including navigation within a site, grouped by day, and reopen it exactly where you left off. - Recent items: quick access to your most recently opened folders and files. - Auto-reopen: pick up your last reading as soon as you launch the app (can be turned off). - Web archives: open a saved .webarchive file, rendered offline as is. - Universal: built for iPhone and iPad, in both orientations. - Multilingual: available in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. PRIVACY Pagira collects nothing, tracks no one and requires no account. Your files stay on your device and in your iCloud: nothing is sent to a server. No ads, no tracking.

Paper in front of you. A clean, searchable PDF in your own iCloud a moment later. That is the whole job, and Pageora does it without an account, without a server, and without a subscription. SCAN, OR BRING PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE Point the camera at any paper — letters, contracts, receipts, handwritten notes. Pages are straightened automatically, cleaned up in color, grayscale, or crisp document black & white, and read by on-device text recognition so every PDF is searchable and its text selectable. Already photographed it? Import JPG, HEIC or PNG straight from your photo library, or bring in an existing PDF. Imported photos get the same straightening, the same cleanup and the same text recognition as a live scan. YOURS, IN YOUR ICLOUD Every scan is saved as a normal PDF in your own iCloud Drive — visible in the Files app, synced to your other devices, and still yours if you ever delete the app. Pageora has no server. Nothing you scan ever leaves your devices and your iCloud. FIND ANYTHING Search finds words from inside your documents, not just titles — including from your iPhone's Home Screen search. Where Apple Intelligence is available, scans name and tag themselves on your device; everywhere else they are named from the date and the first line of recognised text. REDACTION THAT MEANS IT Draw a box over anything sensitive and the text underneath is deleted from the PDF, not covered. Copy, extraction, and search find nothing — because nothing is there. EDIT PAGES Reorder by drag, rotate, retake a single page, delete pages, add tags, rename freely. MORE, IF YOU WANT IT Pageora Unlimited adds sign & date, merge and split, find-and-redact across a whole document, export to text, spreadsheet or receipt CSV, archival PDF/A, password-protected PDFs, fit-to-email sizing, filing rules that tag scans for you as they arrive, a Face ID locked folder that hides documents from the library, from search and from Siri, duplicate finding, and a one-file backup of your whole library. PAY ONCE, OR DON'T The free app is the full scanner for up to 10 documents — full quality, no watermarks, no ads, iCloud included. Pageora Unlimited lifts the limit and turns the rest on, for a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Privacy: Pageora collects no data. There is no analytics, no tracking, no account. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because that is the truth.
