A free, no-login document scanner that turns any page into a clean, searchable PDF. The deskew + OCR magic Adobe charges $10/month for — yours for free, or unlock the full toolkit once.

An invisible text layer makes scans selectable and searchable — find any word inside a scan.
Merge scans into one PDF, export pages as JPG or PNG, and password-protect sensitive documents.
Browse, rename and delete your scans. Local-first storage you own — even if you stop updating.
Yes. ScanLite is a free iPhone app that scans documents into real, multi-page PDFs with no watermark, no scan limit, and no account. It uses Apple's VisionKit for automatic edge detection and perspective correction. An optional one-time ScanLite Pro purchase adds extra tools, but scanning to PDF stays free forever.
Yes. ScanLite runs entirely on your iPhone and needs no internet connection to scan documents, create PDFs, or browse your library. It has no servers and no account, so every file is processed and stored on-device. Because nothing is ever uploaded, ScanLite works the same in airplane mode as it does online.
No. ScanLite never watermarks your PDFs, even on the free tier. Every scan exports as a clean, real, multi-page PDF that opens, prints, and shares anywhere. Many free scanner apps stamp a watermark or cap pages until you subscribe; ScanLite does neither, and there is no subscription at all.
ScanLite is free to download and free to scan documents to PDF, with no subscription and no recurring charge. ScanLite Pro is a single one-time purchase of EUR 4.99 that unlocks searchable OCR, page merging, JPG and PNG export, and password protection. You pay once and keep Pro forever, including across reinstalls.
Yes. ScanLite is private by design: it has no servers, no account, and no cloud sync, so your scans never leave your iPhone. Documents live in a local, on-device library that only you control. Because there is no upload of your scans, no one but you can open your documents.
Yes. ScanLite Pro adds an on-device OCR text layer that makes scanned PDFs searchable, so you can find any word inside a scan and select or copy its text. The OCR runs locally with Apple's Vision framework, so documents are never uploaded. OCR is part of the one-time ScanLite Pro unlock.
