MERGE, SPLIT AND SHRINK
• Merge several PDFs into one, in the order you choose
• Split a long PDF into separate files or page ranges
• Compress a PDF that is too large to email
• Turn PDF pages back into photos
CONVERT ANYTHING TO PDF
• Photos and camera scans
• Word documents (.doc, .docx) and rich text
• Excel and CSV spreadsheets
• Plain and formatted text
• Any web page, from a link
SCAN AND COPY
• Scan paper documents with the camera, then crop, filter, sign or watermark each page
• ID Scan copies both sides of an ID card or driver's license, or a passport photo page, onto one A4 page at its real printed size
• Smart erase brushes out pen marks and stray ink, with undo
SIGN WITHOUT PRINTING
• Draw a signature once and reuse it
• Place it anywhere, resize it, set the opacity
• Save the signed copy alongside the original
PROTECT WHAT YOU SEND
• Lock a PDF with a password
• Add a watermark across every page
• Auto-redact finds card numbers, phone numbers, emails and addresses, shows you the page exactly as it will look, then deletes the text from the file rather than drawing a box over it
READ TEXT OFF A PAGE
• Scan a passport or ID card and get the details as text
• Photo to text turns a handwritten or printed page into editable text, or a clean typed PDF
• Table to Excel points the camera at a table and gives you a spreadsheet
TOOLS THAT READ FOR YOU
• Read aloud plays a document back with the sentence highlighted as it reads
• Summarize gives you the short version, the action items, the dates and the people named
• Smart naming names a scan from what is actually on the page
EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Text recognition, redaction and the AI tools all run on the device. Nothing you scan, sign or redact is uploaded, and there is no account to create.
WORKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
