Pagecrisp
Private OCR PDF scanner
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pagecrisp is the document scanner the App Store has been missing. It turns the camera in your pocket into a watermark-free, on-device PDF scanner with real OCR - in three taps.
It is the anti-CamScanner. There is no signup. There is no cloud. There are no upsells. The PDF Pagecrisp exports is just your document, unbranded, full quality, ready to attach to an email or save to Files.
WHY PAGECRISP
- Every other "scan to PDF" app stamps a logo on your export, pushes a subscription, or quietly uploads your scans for "AI enhancement."
- Pagecrisp is a one-time $0.99 purchase. The PDF has no watermark, ever. No image leaves the phone.
WHAT YOU GET
- A flat, fast, single-screen experience: a grid of every scan you've made, with a fat gold Scan button.
- Apple's professional document camera (the same one in Notes) for sharp edge detection and automatic de-skew.
- On-device OCR using Apple Vision - multilingual, accurate-mode, with a transparent searchable text layer baked into every PDF.
- A clean PDF preview with native PDFKit, plus a system share sheet so you can send the file anywhere - Mail, Files, Messages, AirDrop, or a print queue.
- A welcome document on first launch that demonstrates the loop without making you scan a real page first.
- Confidence percentages per page so you know how clean the OCR is before you share.
- Rename, delete, and copy-text-to-clipboard from any page.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Pagecrisp has no account, no analytics, no tracking, and no developer backend. Every page image and every PDF lives in your app's private folder on this device. The OCR runs on-device using Apple Vision. The PrivacyInfo manifest declares only the standard UserDefaults and FileManager reason codes Apple requires.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Pagecrisp is a single $0.99 purchase. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. The features above are the whole product, forever.
GREAT FOR
- Receipts, leases, school forms, medical paperwork - anything you want as a clean, professional PDF without a "Scanned with [App]" stripe at the bottom.
- Anyone who's tired of "the first 3 scans are free" sales pages.
- Travelers and remote workers who want a scanner that does not need a network.
- People who care that their paperwork stays on their phone.
Open Pagecrisp, tap Scan, frame the page. That is the whole product.
Ratings & Reviews

Pagecrisp 1.2 adds document merge, image mode filters, tags, and sort.
Merge documents. Tap the new merge icon (two overlapping pages) in the toolbar when you have two or more scans. Check each document you want to combine, drag to set the order, give it a title, and Pagecrisp builds a single new PDF with all OCR layers preserved. Source documents are kept intact.
Image mode filters. The naming sheet now shows an IMAGE MODE picker: Color (original), Grayscale (desaturated), and Black & White (high-contrast via CoreImage). Black & White sharpens printed receipts and forms considerably - try it. Set a library-wide default in Settings -> Scanning -> Default image mode.
Tag any document. Open a scan, tap the ... menu, and choose Tags. Type a tag name (Receipts, Lease, Medical, Tax 2025 - whatever makes sense) and tap Add. A scrollable chip strip above the home grid lets you tap one tag to show only those documents. Suggested tags from your other documents appear in the editor for quick reuse.
Sort your library. Order documents by newest first, oldest first, title A-Z, title Z-A, or most pages from the toolbar sort menu. The choice persists across launches.
Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no subscription.
