PDF - Shrink & Scan & OCR · iPhone · iPad
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.
Scan documents with the camera, turn images into PDFs, reduce file size with flexible compression profiles, add OCR for searchable text and place signatures in existing PDFs.
- Scan documents and export as PDF

- Reorder, delete and merge PDF pages
- Save locally, share or export to a folder
What is the difference between “Scan” and “Photos → 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.
What can I do in “PDF Pages”?
You can reorder pages, delete pages, and merge multiple PDFs into a new document. Optionally, the output can also be compressed using a profile, depending on the toggle in that view.
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.
