Scanning done right.

Photograph any page and get a clean, flat, searchable PDF — then sign it, reorder it, redact it and merge it, without leaving your iPhone.

The Armadillo Scan library on iPhone

A scanner that finishes the job

Most scanners hand you a PDF and stop there.

Pages that come out flat

Photograph a page at any angle. Curved and folded pages are flattened, not merely straightened, and the result fills the frame with no background.

Sign it properly

Draw a signature or photograph one off paper — the background is removed and it is saved for reuse. Add text, dates, shapes and freehand notes anywhere.

Redaction that redacts

The words underneath are removed from the file, not hidden behind a black box that anyone can drag away.

Every scan searchable

Real text recognition in the languages your iPhone is set up for. Search your library by what is written on the pages, not just by file name.

Reorganise and merge

Reorder, rotate and delete pages. Merge in pages from another PDF, your photos or the camera. Pull out the pages you need as their own document.

Locked when you want

Password-protect a PDF before you send it, and keep the app itself behind Face ID.

Receipts become an expense record

Scan a long till receipt and it is read, not just photographed.

The purchase inventory, totalled by category
Totals per category, by month, year or all time.

Read, line by line

The shop, the date, and every item with its quantity and price — stitched together from overlapping photos of a receipt two feet long.

Filed by category

Groceries, hardware, fuel, dining, travel and more, suggested from the shop's name and always yours to change.

Corrected before it counts

Print on thermal tape is not perfect, so everything the scan read is shown for you to fix before it is filed.

Your documents stay yours

Nothing is uploaded. Scanning, text recognition and search all happen on your iPhone. There is no account, no sign-up, no subscription, and no server to hold your passport or your lease. The App Store lists Armadillo Scan as collecting no data, because it collects none. Read the privacy policy.

Mark up anything

Annotating a document with shapes and freehand
Text, dates, signatures, lines, boxes, circles and freehand — in any colour.

Export anywhere

PDF, JPEG, Word, plain text, or formatted text that keeps the original's headings, alignment and paragraph breaks.

Save where you like

Straight into Files or iCloud Drive, in the folder you choose and under the name you choose — with a copy kept in the app for next time.
