Point your camera at any page and get a clean PDF. Scanner finds the edges, straightens the image and saves a file you can sign, edit and send. SCAN ANY PAPER DOCUMENT Hold your phone over a page and the app finds the borders for you. It corrects the angle, so the result looks like a flat page and not a photo taken from above. It crops away the table around the paper and evens out shadows and glare. Capture one page or twenty, and they all land in the same file, in the order you shot them. ID CARDS AND SMALL DOCUMENTS Driver's licenses, insurance cards, business cards and passports have their own capture mode. Front and back go on one page, side by side, so what you send looks like a copy of the card instead of two loose photos. SEARCH THE TEXT INSIDE YOUR SCANS Scanner runs text recognition on what you capture, so you can search your library by what is written inside a document and not only by its file name. Look up a name or an invoice number to pull up the page it appears on. Select a paragraph, copy it, and paste it into an email or a note. SIGN AND SEND IT BACK Draw your signature once and keep it. Drop it anywhere on a contract, add the date, fill in the blanks the form leaves you, and send the signed copy straight from the app. You never have to print a page just to sign it and scan it back. EDIT BEFORE YOU SHARE Reorder pages, rotate them, and delete the ones that came out wrong. Add new pages to a file you scanned last week. Rename a document so you can find it later, and pick black and white, grayscale or color for each page. TURN PHOTOS INTO PDFS Import pictures from your camera roll and convert them the same way. Pick a few images and they become one document you can send as a single file. SHARE IT ANYWHERE Export every scan as a PDF file. Send a document by email or message, or save it into Files. PDF is a standard format, so the people you send it to can open it without installing anything. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Keep your scans in folders you name. Move documents between folders, star the ones you come back to, and search across all of them at once.
