People put away their scanners

Rated 4.6 on the App Store. Here's what a day with PDF Scanner looks like.

AAlex
just rented an apartment

The landlord wants a signed copy by 5 p.m. Alex snaps the lease on the kitchen table, signs it on screen, and sends it back before the kettle boils.

PPriya
final-year student

Forty pages of borrowed lecture notes, scanned in one batch on the bus — searchable, backed up, and returned before the next class.

TTomás
freelance designer

An invoice signed at a café table, a receipt filed before it fades, a client's business card saved before it disappears into a pocket.

One app for the whole paper trail

From a crumpled receipt to a 40-page contract — scan it, perfect it, sign it, and send it without leaving the app.

Scan to PDF instantly

Point your camera at any document and get a clean, cropped PDF in seconds — no bulky scanner needed.

Multi-page & batch scanning

Merge many pages into a single PDF or scan several documents in one session — big files, no big deal.

Text recognition (OCR)

Extract text from any scan, then copy, edit, and share it — no retyping, ever.

Sign on your screen

Draw your signature once and place it on any page, together with text and dates.

Export your way

Save scans as PDF or JPG and recognized text as TXT — then share via email, cloud, or any app.

ID, passport & QR modes

Dedicated modes for ID cards, passports, business cards, and QR codes — framed and captured just right.

Three steps from paper to sent

The whole flow lives in one app — most documents take under a minute.

  1. Snap it

    Open the camera and capture the page. Smart edge detection crops it automatically.

  2. Perfect it

    Rotate, crop, and apply filters until it looks freshly printed. Run OCR if you need the text.

  3. Sign & send

    Drop in your signature and the date, export as PDF or JPG, and share it anywhere.
