Private Scan

PrivateScan turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs entirely on your iPhone.
No accounts, no cloud processing, no tracking, no subscription.

THE PRIVATE ONE
Most scanner apps send your documents to servers for processing. PrivateScan
never does. Scanning, filters, text recognition, and even AI naming all run
on your device using Apple frameworks and an optional on-device model. The
app collects no data at all: the privacy label you see on this page says
"Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect.

SCAN ANYTHING
Point the camera at a page and PrivateScan finds the edges, straightens the
result, and cleans it up. Scan books as open spreads and split them into
facing pages, capture whiteboards without glare, compose ID cards and
passports onto a single page (free — others charge for this), and import
photos or PDFs. Keep everything organized in folders with color labels.

SIGN AND EDIT
Draw a signature once and place it on any page. Reorder, split, and combine
documents. Rescue bad lighting with enhance, black & white, grayscale, and
whiteboard filters.

FIND ANY DOCUMENT
Search reads every scanned word, so a receipt, a contract, or a letter is
one search away. Premium unlocks text recognition that runs on your device,
even offline — and smart naming with a small on-device AI model (a one-time
1.8 GB download) that titles each scan for you, so receipts stop being
called "Scan 47". Translate extracted text without it leaving your phone.

EXPORT ANY WAY YOU WORK
PDF, JPG, PNG, TXT, and RTF, with file-size presets, your own watermark,
and password-protected PDFs.

LOCK IT DOWN
Turn on the app lock and PrivateScan requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your
passcode every time it opens. Files are protected with iOS data protection
so they stay encrypted while your device is locked. A privacy shield hides
your documents in the app switcher.

YOUR DEVICES, YOUR CLOUD
iCloud sync is off by default. Turn it on and your documents sync through
your own private iCloud, protected by your Apple Account. We run no servers
and could not read your documents if we wanted to.

ONE PRICE, FOREVER
Scanning is free. A single $9.99 purchase unlocks premium: text recognition
and search, AI smart naming, password protected PDFs, exports without
watermarks, and no limits on pages or exports. No subscription. Buy it once,
own it forever, share it with your family through Family Sharing.
