Piego
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn paper documents and receipts into PDFs you can store, search and share from your iPhone. Piego combines scanning, cropping and text recognition with a document library on your device. The app interface is currently in Italian. SCAN AND ADJUST YOUR PAGES Take a picture manually or use automatic capture when the document stays steady in the frame. Scan multiple pages, check the result and adjust the crop by moving its corners. Rotate pages and choose Photo, Natural, Color, Whiteboard, Black & White or Receipt filters. IMPORT AND RENAME Import PDFs and images from Files or Photos into your Piego library. Rename new scans and saved documents; your chosen name is also used for the exported PDF. ORGANIZE WITH FREE AUTOMATIONS Create rules that look for words in document names and recognized text to rename documents and file them in your chosen folders. Start with templates for Home, Work and Study or create your own rule. Preview proposed changes before organizing existing documents. Pause rules whenever you want. Optionally save an additional PDF copy to a folder selected through Files, including iCloud Drive, or to your own WebDAV server. Transfers run while Piego is open; cloud synchronization depends on your chosen service. FIND YOUR DOCUMENTS Optical character recognition (OCR) makes recognized text available for searching and copying. Search document names or recognized text and organize your library with folders and tags. Reopen saved pages, make adjustments, then save or discard your changes. SHARE FROM YOUR IPHONE Create searchable PDFs and open the iOS share sheet directly. Save to Files or choose an available app on your device. Export JPEG images too; documents with multiple pages are packaged in a ZIP file. EDIT, SIGN, FILL IN AND REDACT PDFS WITH PIEGO PRO A Piego Pro subscription gives you a complete PDF editor on your iPhone: ⢠correct the text of PDFs, scanned pages included, keeping their look; ⢠sign with a signature and initials drawn once, on every page if you like; ⢠fill in PDF forms, even ones without fields or photographed, with your details suggested in the right fields; ⢠redact names, IBANs and other data: in the copy they are really gone from the file, and it works with signed PDFs too. Piego Pro also completes document names with the number and supplier read from the text. Choose a monthly or yearly plan, with a free week if you subscribe for the first time. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PROCESSING ON YOUR DEVICE Scanning, filters, OCR and the document library work on your iPhone without a Piego account. Documents are shared or copied to destinations you choose and configure. Everything else is free with no ads, including automations; the PDF editor is part of Piego Pro. OCR results depend on the legibility of the document and capture conditions. Check recognized text before reusing it. Terms of Use (in Italian): https://www.nebello.com/docscan/termini Privacy Policy (in Italian): https://www.nebello.com/docscan/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Piego at none against PDF Compressor's 1. PDF Compressor's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
