Why use Pagefold Scanner
Faster paper-to-PDF workflow
Scan receipts, notes, homework, invoices, or contracts and turn them into shareable PDFs in a few steps — camera capture or photo import, adjust, enhance, export.
Clearer, more readable pages
Edge detection and crop tools help straighten skewed pages. Filters (color, black & white, enhance) make text easier to read before you export.
Private by default
Your documents stay on your device. No Pagefold account is required, and document images are not uploaded to Kick-Start.ai servers for processing.
Searchable PDFs with Pro OCR
Pagefold Pro adds on-device OCR so recognized text can make PDFs searchable — processed on your iPhone with Apple frameworks, not sent to our servers.
How Pagefold Scanner works
- Scan or import — use the camera to capture a document, or choose photos from your library.
- Adjust & enhance — refine edges, crop, and apply filters for a cleaner page.
- Build your PDF — assemble pages into a multi-page document.
- Share — export through the iOS share sheet to Mail, Files, Messages, and other apps.
