On-device intelligence · Private by design

Your pocket scanner,
smarter than paper.

Capture anything

Every kind of scan.
One tap away.

Five capture modes cover everything from multi-page contracts to the barcode on a parcel — each tuned to get it right the first time.

Document Scan

Edges are detected automatically and perspective is corrected. Capture multi-page documents hands-free and they come together in one tap.

Live Text Scan

Grab text straight from the camera — a whiteboard, a book page, a serial number — and copy, share or save it instantly.

ID Card Scan

Scan the front and back of any ID and both sides are combined neatly onto a single page — ready to print or share.

QR & Barcode

Scan any QR code or barcode and act on it instantly — open links, copy codes, or save the result to your library.

Image to PDF

Turn photos from your library into clean, ordered PDF documents — perfect for receipts, whiteboards and handwritten notes.

Import Anything

Bring in existing PDFs and photos from Files, Photos or any other app — PDF Scanner appears right in the iOS share sheet.

Searchable everything

Find any word inside any scan.

Every page you capture is read on your device by a background OCR engine. That receipt from March? The clause in a 40-page contract? Just type a word.

  • Full-text search across your entire library — in the app or straight from Spotlight on your home screen.
  • Selectable text in exports — PDFs you share carry a real text layer, so recipients can copy and search too.
  • 100% on-device — recognition runs locally. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

Apple Intelligence · runs on your iPhone

Your documents can
finally answer back.

Document AI reads any scan and turns it into answers — powered by on-device models, so even your most sensitive paperwork stays private.

Summary

A long contract becomes three sentences. Summaries even auto-name your scans, so "Scan 0412" becomes "Apartment lease — 2026".

Key Info

Dates, amounts, names and account numbers — extracted automatically. Found a due date? Set a reminder for it in one tap.

Ask Anything

"What's the cancellation period?" "How much was the deposit?" Ask your document in plain language and get the answer with context.

Safe by default

Private like paper.
Safe unlike paper.

Paper can't leak, but it can burn, tear or vanish. PDF Scanner gives you the best of both: nothing leaves your device for processing, yet nothing is ever truly lost.

  • Automatic iCloud backup keeps your whole library recoverable — reinstall, switch phones, pick up where you left off.
  • 30-day Recently Deleted — deleted scans wait a full month before they're gone, so a slip of the thumb never costs you a document.
  • Color-coded folders and smart organization keep receipts, contracts and IDs exactly where you expect them.
  • Home-screen widgets put scanning and your latest documents one tap from anywhere.
