the usual catch.

You just wanted a PDF. Instead you got a weekly subscription, a login screen, and a logo stamped on your page. Capy Scan does none of that.

Hold your iPhone over the page. That's it.

Capy Scan finds the four corners, fixes tilt and distortion, and crops the page. Shot at an angle? It's saved at its true proportions, not squashed.

Redacted text is gone from the PDF, too.

When you black out an account number or address, the page is flattened and its text recognized again. Whoever you send it to can't copy what's underneath.

  • Export as PDF, JPG or text, with a password Pro
  • Straight to Share, Files, Print or Mail
