PDF - Shrink & Scan & OCR

Compress PDFs on iPhone and iPad

Profiles define settings such as raster resolution (PPI), JPEG quality, and color or grayscale. They are used in features where compression is enabled, for example Compress, OCR, Scan, Photos → PDF and PDF Pages, depending on the settings there.

Scan documents to PDF

When scanning, you use the document camera: multiple pages, perspective correction, and typically clear document edges. In Photos → PDF, you select images from your photo library and create a PDF from them, ideal if you already have photos.

Make scanned PDFs searchable with OCR

OCR recognizes text in scanned or photographed pages and adds a searchable text layer to the PDF. This lets you highlight text in preview and search it in other apps. Recognition also runs directly on the device.

Does the app work online or offline?

All features run on your iPhone or iPad. No internet connection is required, and your PDFs and images are not uploaded to any server.

Where are the new PDFs saved?

In each feature, you choose a destination when saving: for example in the app under Documents, by sharing to another app, or in a folder you select in the Files app. This keeps you in control of where the file is stored.
