Local Scan: Document Scanner
Capture Pages Offline with OCR
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Point your camera at a page. Drag the corners to its edges, and Local Scan straightens it and evens out the lighting, all on your device. It works with no signal.
Scan documents offline, right on your device.
Point your camera at a document or import an existing photo. Drag the four corners to the edges of the page, and Local Scan straightens it, improves readability, and creates a professional quality scan, all without uploading anything to the cloud.
Whether you're scanning receipts, contracts, handwritten notes, forms, books, or letters, everything happens on your device, so your documents stay yours.

CAMERA ACCESS
Local Scan requests camera access only when you choose to scan a document.
If you import an image, the app only accesses the photos you explicitly select. It never requests your entire photo library and never asks for microphone access.
