How it works

From paper to PDF in three steps.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Scan pages with the camera, guided by live edge detection, or import photos you already have.

  2. 02

    Correct

    Auto crop straightens each page. Adjust the corners, pick a look and set the contrast.

  3. 03

    Share

    Name your document, then export a PDF or JPEG to share or save a copy anywhere.

Capture

Point, shoot, done.

Hold your phone over a page and PocketScan finds its edges while you frame it. Capture as many pages as you need, or import photos you already have.

  • Live page-edge guidance
  • Flash off, auto or on
  • Tap to focus, pinch to zoom
  • Camera access explained first; import always works
Correct

Make it look like paper again.

Scanned pages are cropped and straightened as you shoot. Fine-tune any corner with a drag or a tap, zoom in, then choose a look and set the contrast. Try it here.

  • Auto crop with four-corner adjustment
  • Perspective correction and rotation
  • Original, Color, Grayscale and Black & white
  • Hold to compare, or apply one look to every page

Assemble

Every page in the right order.

Multipage drafts are saved as you go. Drag to reorder, rotate or move pages, and remove one without worry: Undo brings it back, even after you restart the app.

  • Touch and hold to reorder
  • Add pages by scanning or importing
  • Unfinished scans are offered back on launch

Export

A copy, ready to go.

Export a multipage PDF or a single-page JPEG. See an estimated size before you create the file and the actual size after, then share it or save it to Files.

  • Standard (2000 px) or High (3200 px) quality
  • Share sheet or Save to Files
  • Exports keep going if you leave, with retry

Simple by design

Thoughtful, down to the details.

  • Find it fast

    Every document has a name. Search titles as you type, and rename or delete in a tap.

  • Pick up where you left off

    Pages and edits are kept as you work. Unfinished scans are offered back when you return.

  • Undo that waits

    Removed the wrong page? Undo brings it back with its edits, even after a restart.

  • Edit without risk

    Editing a saved document works on a copy. Keep both with “Save as new document”.

  • Exports that finish

    Files are made with progress, cancel and retry, and resume if the app is stopped.

  • Storage you can see

    Storage & privacy shows what PocketScan keeps on your phone and lets you clear previews.

Privacy

Your documents never leave your phone.

PocketScan has no account, no servers and no internet access. Every scan is processed and stored on your device. That isn’t a setting you have to find. It’s how the app is built.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else? The support page walks through every step.

Is PocketScan really free?

Yes. PocketScan is free to use, with no account to create and no watermark on your files.

Does PocketScan upload my documents?

No. PocketScan has no account, no servers and no internet access. Scans are processed and stored only in the app on your phone. A file leaves your device only when you share it or save a copy somewhere yourself.

What happens to my documents if I delete the app?

They are removed with it. PocketScan keeps your documents out of device and cloud backups, so there is no copy elsewhere unless you export one. Save copies of important documents to Files, your computer or another place you trust, and open them once to check them.

Can I scan photos I already have?

Yes. Import still JPEG, PNG or WebP images from your photo library. iPhone HEIC photos come in as JPEG automatically. Animated images and existing PDFs aren’t supported.

Which file formats can I export?

A multipage PDF with every page in order, or a JPEG of a single page. Choose Standard (2000 px, smaller files for email and forms) or High (3200 px, for fine print). PocketScan estimates the size before you export and shows the real size afterwards.

Can it recognize the text on a page?

Not yet. Copying printed text from your scans is on our roadmap.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone with iOS 17 or later, and Android phones with Android 8.0 or later.

When can I get it?

Soon. PocketScan is in final testing and will launch on the App Store and Google Play.

Clear scans. Ready to share.
