Your printer, finally easy. Scan a document with the camera, sign it with your finger, fix the pages and print — without hunting through five different apps to do it. SCAN ANYTHING Point the camera at a page and the edges are found for you. Scan one page or twenty, then save as PDF, pull the text out, or send it straight to the printer. SIGN AND ANNOTATE Draw your signature once and reuse it. Drag it where it belongs, resize it, and undo anything you change your mind about. Add text, highlight, draw, or drop in arrows and boxes to point something out. PDF TOOLS Merge, split, rotate, reorder, delete and insert pages. Compress a file that is too big to email. Add a watermark, page numbers, or a password. Turn photos into a PDF, or a PDF into photos. Write a note in Markdown and get a clean document. PHOTO TOOLS Adjust brightness and colour, crop to any shape, apply a filter, resize, convert between JPG, PNG and HEIC, or lift the subject off its background. Make passport and ID photos at the right size, or fit several pictures onto one sheet. PRINTABLES Hundreds of ready-to-print posters, labels, planners and templates, sorted so you can find one in seconds. BUILT FOR EVERY AGE Big buttons, plain words and clear steps. Nothing hidden behind tiny icons. WORKS WITH ANY AIRPRINT PRINTER Printing uses AirPrint, built into your iPhone and iPad, so there are no drivers to install. Choose your printer once and every tool prints to it. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows whether your printer is ready and prints a recent file without you reaching for your phone. Files you make stay on your device. No account needed. https://hpsmart.org/privacy https://hpsmart.org/terms
