Document scanner for iPhone & iPad

Scan any page in seconds.

Point your camera at a page. Doc Scan finds the edges, flattens and cleans it up, then turns it into text you can copy, a signed form, or a clean PDF.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to lpgreat@qq.com.

Is Doc Scan free?

Yes. Scanning, page editing, folders, iCloud sync, importing and JPG export are free. Text recognition, signatures, PDF export and the app lock are part of Premium.

Are my documents uploaded to recognize text?

No. Text recognition uses Apple's on-device Vision framework, so pages are read on your iPhone or iPad. Documents sync through your own iCloud account if you turn sync on.

Which languages can it recognize?

English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and more. The exact list comes from Apple and depends on your iOS version; you can see it in the app's settings.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. Doc Scan runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 13 or later, and iCloud keeps your documents in sync between them.

How do the free trial and subscriptions work?

The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends and you won't be charged. Subscriptions renew automatically until you turn that off in your Apple ID settings. The lifetime option is a one-time purchase.

I bought Premium on another device. How do I get it back?

Open Settings in Doc Scan, go to the Premium page and tap “Restore Previous Purchase”, signed in with the same Apple ID.

Doc Scan app icon
