Paperbeam

Paperbeam turns your iPhone into a fast, private document scanner. Point, capture, and get a clean, perfectly cropped PDF in seconds — then find it later by its text, protect it with Face ID, or share it as a password‑protected file.

Everything happens on your device. No account, no sign‑up, no uploads, no tracking.

SCAN ANYTHING • Automatic edge detection and perspective correction • Standard A4 pages — ready to view and print, every time • Multi‑page documents — add, reorder, retake, or delete pages • Enhancement filters: Original, Enhance, Grayscale, and Black & White for crisp text

FIND IT LATER • On‑device text recognition (OCR) reads your documents automatically • Search your scans by their contents, not just their names • Copy the recognized text out of any scan

STAY ORGANIZED • Group scans into folders • Filter your library with a tap

KEEP IT PRIVATE • Protect sensitive scans with Face ID or your passcode • Export password‑protected PDFs that need a password to open • 100% on‑device — your documents never leave your iPhone

MARK IT UP • Draw, highlight, and type text right on a scan before you share • Add a signature to sign documents on the spot • Stamp a watermark (CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY…), page numbers, or the date across every page

SAVE & SHARE ANYWHERE • Save a PDF straight to the Files app, iCloud Drive, or On My iPhone • Export through the standard share sheet • Email, message, or send to any app

Perfect for receipts, contracts, IDs, forms, homework, notes, warranties, and anything else you'd rather have as a tidy, searchable PDF.

No subscriptions required. No ads. No data collection. Just a scanner that respects your privacy.
