From paper to sent
The whole document job, in one place.
ScanFile is built around the steps that happen after the camera shutter—not only taking a picture.
02
Build the document.
Add camera pages, photos, image files, or PDFs. Reorder, rotate, retake, delete, and choose the right document filter.
03
Finish and send.
Extract text, add a signature or drawing, then export as PDF, JPG, or PNG through Files, Mail, AirDrop, Messages, and more.
Everything you need
More than a camera pointed at paper.
Competent scanning is a chain: capture, correct, review, edit, organize, and export. ScanFile keeps that chain together.

Detect edges, correct perspective, adjust the crop, and retake the page when needed.

Why a dedicated scanner?
Your camera captures a picture. ScanFile finishes a document.
A camera photo is usually the start of the job. ScanFile gives you one repeatable place to straighten pages, keep a packet together, pull out text, make edits, and produce the file someone actually asked for.
