What it is
DocScan turns an iPhone into a document scanner and QR code reader for digitizing, organizing, and sharing documents. It scans one or multiple pages and lets users add pages to an ongoing project. Scanned QR codes can be saved in a dedicated library. Documents can be exported as high-resolution JPG or PDF files and shared by email, messaging apps, iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive. The app converts color documents to grayscale with one tap. Editing tools include markup, highlighting, blur, formatted text, rotation, cropping, grayscale conversion, and page removal; users can also sign documents. OCR extracts text, and document photos, handwritten notes, and receipts can be imported from the photo library into folders. The free download includes a Free plan at free, while PRO features require a subscription. PRO includes unlimited PDF scanning and sharing, multi-page scanning, OCR, signing, and an ad-free interface. DocScan is for iPhone and requires iOS 16.0 or later.
