Paperix now reads the fine print. - Analyze, Ask Paperix and search now read small print — fee schedules, statement terms, policy wording and dense forms. Before, this text could be skipped or misread. - Tables keep each amount on its own row, even in small type or when the amounts sit far to the right of their labels. - Search and the AI now read text in more languages and scripts, such as Chinese. - Your existing documents are re-read once after you update, so answers about them improve too. The app stays responsive while that runs. - Fixed: "Rebuild AI cache" now waits until the rebuild is really done, and creates fresh summaries. - Fixed: the confidence marks in Extracted Text now show how sure text recognition was about each line.

Paperix is a fully free document scanner that runs everything — scanning, OCR, and AI — on your iPhone. No subscriptions. No watermarks. No ads. No accounts. Stop paying a yearly fee to turn paper into a PDF, and keep your documents on your own device. EVERY FEATURE OF THE PAID APPS — FOR FREE Paperix matches the paid scanners feature-for-feature and charges $0 for any of it: - One-tap multi-page scanning with auto edge-detect and perspective correction - Smart cleanup that measures each page first — dim rooms and shadows get corrected, good pages are left alone, faded ink and thermal receipts keep their detail - Black & white and Max Punch modes; reprocess any saved scan later without rescanning - Big scans save instantly — text recognition runs in the background while you keep working - Auto-name scans from the largest text on the first page - Import from Photos or Files; save to Paperix from any app's share sheet - Combine scans into one PDF, split pages out into a new document, export just the pages you pick - Folders, sort, bulk select, swipe between documents, 30-day Recently Deleted - Universal app: two-column layout on iPad SEARCHABLE PDFs OUT OF THE BOX — NO PREMIUM TIER Every scan runs through on-device text recognition. PDFs are searchable in Paperix, in Preview on your Mac, in Adobe Acrobat, anywhere. Search across every doc and tap a result to jump to the highlighted phrase. No "OCR credits". No paywalled search. - Extract Text — Paperix: a share-sheet action that pulls the text out of any image, with Copy and Share, without opening the app SIGN, FILL, AND MARK UP — NO WATERMARK - Pen, Eraser, Undo, Redo, Clear in one toolbar; true black, red, blue, green, yellow ink - Type text directly on a page — drag, resize, pick size and alignment - One-tap presets drop today's date or your saved name for forms - Pinch-to-zoom canvas; draw with finger or Apple Pencil - OCR re-runs on save so signed pages stay searchable ON-DEVICE AI — ON YOUR IPHONE, NEVER ON A SERVER Every word of AI inference runs on your iPhone's Neural Engine using Apple's Foundation Models. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or seen by anyone but you. - ANALYZE a document — on-device Summary, Key Points, and per-doc Q&A - ASK PAPERIX — pose a question across every doc on your phone and get a sourced answer with tappable citations back to the exact page - Semantic search by meaning, not just keywords - AI surfaces hide cleanly on iPhones without Apple Intelligence; the rest of the app works the same The cloud scanners ship your contracts, medical records, and bank statements to someone else's GPU. Paperix runs the same AI on your own phone. SMART ACTIONS FROM A SCAN Paperix looks for contact info, appointment dates, addresses, and links in every scan. One tap adds the contact to Contacts, the appointment to Calendar, the address to Maps, or opens the link in Safari. YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE NEVER LOCKED IN - Export your whole library, a folder, or a selection as PDFs into any Files folder — on your iPhone or in iCloud Drive — with your folder structure kept, or as one ZIP to save or share - Export to Photos as albums, one per folder; optionally keep Photos in sync with every new scan - Standard or password-protected PDF, AirPrint, and the iOS share sheet — Mail, Messages, AirDrop, anywhere PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Paperix has no networking code of its own. No telemetry, no analytics, no SDKs, no ads, no "premium tier". The only optional sync is through your own Apple iCloud, off by default — never a Paperix server. Turn airplane mode on permanently and Paperix works exactly the same. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later - AI features need Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later, or an M-series iPad); everything else works on every supported device

Scans that read the room, plus swipe between documents. - Swipe between documents — while viewing a scan, swipe left or right to move to the next or previous document in the same folder, following your sort order. - Smarter scan cleanup — every page is measured before anything is changed, so a dim room, warm indoor light or an uneven shadow gets corrected while an already-good page is left alone. - Faded ink survives — bleaching rides the page's own measured paper white instead of a fixed threshold, so pencil notes, watermarks, faint stamps and thermal receipts keep their detail in both colour and black & white. - Auto-enhance now governs imports too — with it off, a photo you import is stored exactly as you chose it; with it on, it gets the same cleanup a scan does. - Faster launches and faster saves, especially on large libraries. - Sharing a photo into Paperix from another app now respects your Black & White and Auto-enhance settings. - Tapping "Make searchable" now updates the document straight away, instead of still reporting no recognized text until the next launch. - Deleting one of two identical documents no longer removes the other one's AI search data. - Fixed scans under warm lighting coming out more yellow after cleanup instead of less. Everything still runs on device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Combine and split documents, plus export just the pages you need. - Combine documents — merge two or more scans into one new PDF, choosing exactly which pages from each source to include, right from the bulk-select bar. - Split a document — pull selected pages out into a new, independent document without disturbing the original. Repeat to break one scan into as many as you need. - Export selected pages — share just the pages you pick as a standalone PDF, rotations included, right from the page editor. - Fixed a bug where a date-less document (like a product label) could create a spurious calendar event. Everything still runs on device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Paperix now runs beautifully on iPad. • iPad support — Paperix is now a universal app. On iPad you get a roomy two-column layout: your scans on one side, the document you're reading on the other, with everything kept in sync with your iPhone. • Smoother Face ID — Paperix re-prompts for Face ID the moment you come back, and the unlock banner is now easier to tap. • Widget fix — your recent scans no longer disappear from the widget after an iCloud sync on launch. As always, your scans and your search stay private and on your device.

New • Optional iCloud sync — turn it on to keep your scans across all your devices through your own private Apple iCloud. Off by default. • Scan a receipt and Paperix surfaces the total — tap to copy the amount and its currency, all on device. Fixed • More reliable handling of large and shared images on launch. • Faster, smoother startup. • Various stability fixes.

This update polishes the details. - Tap anywhere on a row in the About screen to open it — What's new, What's in Paperix, AI settings, Report a problem, and Diagnostic log now respond across the whole row, not just the label. - Multi-column scans read in a more natural order when you extract text — columns line up and lines flow top-to-bottom instead of jumping across the page. Everything still runs on device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

The big one: sign and fill scans, share straight into Paperix, and pull text out of any image — all on device. NEW - Markup & signing — a full toolbar (Pen, Eraser, Undo, Redo, Clear) with finger or Apple Pencil, real ink colors (black, red, blue, green, yellow), and a pinch-to-zoom canvas for tight signatures. - Type on a page — drop a resizable text box anywhere, pick a font size, and use one-tap presets for today's date or your saved name. Built for forms and sign-offs. - Save to Paperix from the share sheet — send one photo or a whole stack from Photos, Files, or any app and they land as cropped, scanned documents. - Extract Text — Paperix — a share-sheet action that pulls the text out of any image right there, with Copy and Share, without opening the app. Now layout-aware, so columns line up and lines read in order. - On-device event extraction — Paperix finds appointments, reservations, and deadlines in your scans using Apple's Foundation Models, fully on device. - Smart names everywhere — the title predictor now runs on photo and share imports too, not just camera scans. - Reprocess any saved scan — re-apply Color, Black & White, or Maximum Punch without rescanning. - Report a problem — send a private diagnostic report from the About screen. Version and device info only, never your documents. FIXED - Photos shared into Paperix are now straightened and cropped to the page automatically. - Black & white scans look properly black & white, and true-black ink stays black in dark mode. - Smart Actions reads the contact name on business cards (not the job title), Add to Contacts works the first time, and it falls back to the email address when the page text is sparse. - Imported documents are named "Imported …" so they're easy to tell from scans, and keep a real title when the page has one. - Mixed page sizes normalize into one consistent PDF. Everything still runs on device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.
