PDF Scanner & Editor: Privio
JPG, Image, eSign & Convert
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Privio is the offline PDF toolkit for lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and anyone who handles documents that should not be uploaded to a stranger's server.
Every operation — scan, OCR, redact, sign, summarise with Apple Intelligence, capture receipts — runs locally on your iPhone. Your PDFs never leave this device. The App Privacy Report shows zero outbound traffic for your files.
THE 23 TOOLS
Document intake
• Scan to PDF — Apple VisionKit edge detection, multi-page capture
• OCR PDF — Apple Vision recognizes text on scanned PDFs and adds a searchable text layer
• Image to PDF — photos, receipts, screenshots into one PDF
• Merge PDFs — combine document-level or hand-pick pages
• Compress PDF — shrink for email without visible quality loss
• Split PDF — extract page ranges, every Nth page, or N equal parts
Editing
• Rotate pages — fix sideways scans
• Delete pages — drop what you don't need
• Sign PDF — finger or stylus signature with SHA-256 audit footer
• Fill form — IRS, USCIS, court motion forms with flatten-on-save
• Page numbers — four formats, five positions, custom start
• Bates numbering — legal discovery standard
• Password protect — AES-256 encrypt or unlock
Review
• Watermark — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, custom text in three layouts
• Extract text — pull clean text out of any born-digital PDF
• Compare PDFs — redline two versions, added and removed text
• Bookmarks / TOC — jump to any chapter in long briefs and depositions
• Find sensitive data — auto-detect SSN, EIN, credit cards (Luhn validated), IBANs, emails, phone numbers
• Redact — search words, render-and-flatten removes them from the data stream
AI + receipts + batch
• Summarize PDF — Apple Intelligence on-device summary (iOS 26+)
• Live Text view — Apple Live Text + Visual Look Up + Markup
• Batch operations — compress, watermark, or rotate a stack of PDFs in one pass
• Receipt scanner — auto-extract date / vendor / total / tax → QuickBooks-friendly CSV
iOS INTEGRATION
Home Screen widget (Small + Medium) plus three Lock Screen accessory families. iOS 18 Control Center / Lock Screen scan control. Action Button binding for iPhone 15 Pro and later. Siri, Shortcuts, Files Provider, Share Sheet, Action Extension. iPad Stage Manager + Split View.
PRIVACY POSITIONING
Other PDF apps upload your file to "process" it in the cloud — meaning their staff, their server logs, and their attackers could all see your documents. Privio was built so the lawyer-client privilege, the accountant-client confidentiality, and your personal data stay where they belong: on your phone.
Privio is built with Apple's own frameworks — VisionKit for scanning, Apple Vision for OCR, Apple Intelligence for summarisation, PDFKit for assembly. Your documents are processed on your device and are never uploaded. There is no account. Free use is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, which never receive your documents; Pro removes ads entirely.
PRICING
Try the tools free: open any tool and run it on your own document. Pro is what releases the result — save, share, or export it. (Batch and the receipt scanner are Pro from the start.)
• Yearly — the best value
• Lifetime — pay once; no subscription, no renewal
• Monthly — month to month
You'll see your local price in the app. The free tier shows one short ad per released result; Pro removes ads and unlocks every tool.
