DocBeam: PDF Scanner & Sign
Offline document scanner, OCR
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan. Sign. Done. DocBeam is the privacy-first PDF scanner and signature app that turns your iPhone into a pocket document studio, with razor-sharp auto edge detection and searchable OCR.
NEW: Lift your real signature from a photo — DocBeam removes the paper background. Recover deleted files for 30 days. Scans auto-tag themselves (Invoice, Receipt, Passport and more). Add searchable notes, edit recognized text, export to a text file, and set recurring reminders.
Your documents are processed on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking — ever.

SYNC THAT STAYS PRIVATE
Turn on iCloud and your documents follow you to your other devices — through your own private iCloud account. They never touch our servers, because we don't have any.
DOCBEAM PRO
Unlock unlimited scans, unlimited on-device AI summaries and questions, and every pro tool — yearly, monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
PRIVACY PROMISE
Your documents belong to you. DocBeam has no servers and no sign-in: nothing is ever uploaded to us, and we never see your files.
Scan. Sign. Done.
