What is Simple Scan?

Do you love the Apple Notes document scanner, but would you like more flexibility in sending the scans to email, messages, files, or other apps? Then Simple Scan is for you. Simple Scan is the quick, easy way to scan paper documents to optimized, searchable PDF documents (or images) and send them almost anywhere.

Features include:

  • Same great scanning functionality as Apple Notes, but no need to clutter your notes data with one-off scans
  • Creates high-resolution multi-page PDFs from your paper documents
  • PDFs are searchable thanks to automatic Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • Built for simplicity. Just scan and send – no document library, no overly complicated array of settings
  • Send scans via email and messages. Or save to a file, or “Share” to send to other apps via the system share sheet
  • Set up custom destinations with pre-filled recipients for easy “Email to Myself” and other common uses
  • Custom file destinations allow configuration of file name, and pre-selection of a destination folder to save the scan.
  • Option to output as images (JPEG) instead of PDF
  • Launches fast.
  • Never any ads or tracking. Ever.
