Scan anything into a clean, sharp PDF — then actually find it again. CrispScan turns your iPhone or iPad into a document scanner, a PDF toolbox and a filing cabinet that remembers what's inside every page. One purchase unlocks it. There is no subscription. SCAN AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE Edges are detected automatically, pages are straightened and cleaned up, and multi-page documents are handled in one go. Scanning is free and unlimited. SEARCH INSIDE YOUR DOCUMENTS Every scan is read as you save it, so search looks at the words on the page — not just the file name. Type a shop, an invoice number or an amount and the right document comes back. A PDF TOOLBOX Merge and split PDFs. Compress a file that's too big to email. Add a password. Stamp a watermark. Turn pages into images, or a pile of receipts into a spreadsheet for your expenses. FILL IN AND SIGN Sign with your finger, drop in today's date, and type a name, address or reference. Move and resize anything, then share the finished document. BRING IN PDFs YOU ALREADY HAVE Open a PDF from Files or iCloud Drive, or share one straight into CrispScan. Its text is read automatically and every tool works on it. NEVER MISS A RENEWAL Give a passport, visa, licence or insurance policy an expiry date and CrispScan reminds you 30 days before — the sort of thing that is easy to forget and expensive to miss. EXTRACT AND TRANSLATE TEXT Copy the text out of any scan, export it as a TXT file, or translate it. Recognition and translation both run on your device. KEEP IT PRIVATE Scanning, text recognition and translation all happen offline on your device. Lock the whole app behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and your documents stay hidden from the app switcher while locked. Individual folders can be locked too. ORGANISE IT PROPERLY Folders, filters for PDFs, images and ID cards, page counts and file sizes at a glance. Deleted documents wait 30 days in the Trash, so a mistake is easy to undo. ALSO INCLUDED A home screen widget and a Siri shortcut to start a scan instantly, and a share extension so you can send images and PDFs to CrispScan from any app. FREE Unlimited scanning and storage, search, text recognition, single-page export, Scan to PDF, Image to PDF, Import PDF, Text to PDF, Image to Text, iCloud backup and Trash. CRISPSCAN PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION Export whole multi-page documents, plus Merge, Split, Compress, Password Protect, Fill & Sign, Watermark, PDF to Image, Searchable PDF and Receipts to CSV. Also unlocks the Face ID app lock, folder locks and unlimited translation. Buy it once and it stays unlocked. Nothing renews and nothing expires. Questions or ideas? Get in touch from Settings — we read everything.
