CleanScan: PDF Scanner & OCR

On-device OCR, full-text search, translation and read-aloud — all free, all offline, no account.

Scan a document and CleanScan turns it into searchable text right on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is tracked. No subscription, ever.

FREE — ALL OF THIS
- On-device OCR — text is recognised on your iPhone, never sent anywhere
- Full-text search — find any word across every document you have ever scanned
- Searchable PDFs — exported files carry a real text layer, so Files, Mail and Preview can search them too
- Translate — read a scanned page in another language, offline
- Read aloud — listen to any document hands-free
- Shadow removal — flat-field correction erases the shadow your hand casts, so the whole page is evenly lit
- Auto-straighten — edges are detected and the page is de-skewed to a clean rectangle
- Crisp black & white — an adaptive threshold keeps small text sharp while making the background pure white. Colour and Grayscale modes too
- Uniform A4 PDFs — mixed page sizes come out as tidy, consistent pages
- Multi-page — scan, reorder by drag, rename, split, add or remove pages
- QR and barcode scanning
- Live Text and data detection — tap a phone number or address straight from a scan
- Export and share via Mail, Messages, Files, WhatsApp or AirDrop
- Offline history of everything you have scanned, stored only on your device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- 100% on-device processing. Your scans never leave your iPhone.
- No account. No sign-in. No servers. No document upload — ever.
