More than a scanner

Paper in. Editable document out.

Edit printed text

Change a word, fix a typo or add a line to a scanned page. Choose font, size, color, alignment and background, then move text wherever you need it.

High-quality scanning

Pages, IDs, receipts and notes, with automatic or manual edge detection, color filters and custom page sizes and orientation.

Text-based PDFs

OCR finds the text, AI erases it from the image, and real text objects take its place, so the page stays editable and searchable.

Image-based PDFs

Keep the original look and add an invisible text layer, so you can still search and copy every word.

Share anywhere

Send by Mail or AirDrop, save to Files, or open in any compatible app.

Scan

Use the camera or pick photos you already have. Edges are detected for you.

Recognize

OCR reads every line and records its size and position on the page.

Rebuild

PDF Eye places real, editable text exactly where the printed text was.

Sign & highlight

Put your pen to it.

Sign contracts, highlight passages and draw freehand with Pencil Kit, or touch up imperfections in a scan.

  • Signatures and highlights with Apple Pencil or your finger
  • Copy text from any page, or export it per page or document
  • Works on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac
