The document scanner that keeps your papers yours.

You photograph a sheet of paper, the app finds its edges, straightens it and cleans up the text: what you get is a real scan, not a photo of a piece of paper.

The whole contract, crumpled, photographed on a wooden table: the paper is grey, creased and slightly skewed.

Everything it can do

Scanning

  • Edges detected and the page straightened, even shot at an angle
  • Four looks: original photo, colour, greyscale, black and white
  • Strength adjustable with your finger, with a preview that follows
  • Shadows removed in one tap, for pages shot under a lamp or a hand (on iPhone)
  • Several pages in one document, to reorder, rotate or remove
  • Import photos and PDFs, up to 100 pages

Organizing

  • Folders and subfolders, like on a computer
  • A search that also finds what is filed deep inside a folder, and tells you where
  • Rename, move, duplicate, delete
  • A copy in your iCloud, or in your Google Drive on Android, that brings your documents back if you reinstall the app or change phones

Finishing and sharing

  • Export to PDF or JPEG
  • Add text on a page
  • Print straight from the app
  • Save to your files, or send through your phone’s share menu

Never on a server of ours.

Your documents stay on your phone, with a copy in your own iCloud on iPhone or, if you agree, in your own Google Drive on Android — never on a server of ours. No account to create, no analytics, no adverts. Your invoices, your contracts and your identity papers go nowhere else — except on the day you decide to share them yourself.

PRO

Scan Cam Pro

The free version is complete and never expires: scan, organize, filter, annotate, print and export to PDF as much as you like. Free PDFs carry a small “Scanned with Scan Cam” line at the foot of the page.

The Pro subscription adds:

  • PDF with no line at the foot
  • Text recognition, which reads your pages and hands you the text to copy
  • Signature, drawn with your finger and placed where you want it
  • Watermark, across the page
  • Merging several documents into one
  • Pulling pages out into a new document
  • Export to Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx)

Text recognition runs on the phone, with no internet: it reads the Latin alphabet, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

$22.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial.

App Store price · United States
