Scan to PDF
Turn any paper page into a crisp, searchable PDF.
rawPDF turns your iPhone camera into a professional document scanner. Point it at a receipt, contract, form or handwritten note and rawPDF detects the page edges, straightens the perspective and produces a clean, sharp PDF in seconds - ready to sign, share or file away.
- ✓Automatic edge-detection and perspective correction
- ✓Multi-page capture in one continuous session
- ✓Colour, greyscale and high-contrast document filters
- ✓Optional on-device OCR to make scans searchable
A scan is often your most sensitive document: an ID, a payslip, a medical form. rawPDF captures and processes every page entirely on your device, so the image is never uploaded to a scanning service or held on someone else's server. There is no account to create and nothing leaves your iPhone unless you deliberately tap Share.

Scan to PDF - questions
Does scanning need an internet connection?
No. Scanning, cropping and filtering all run on your device and work completely offline - on a plane, underground or anywhere with no signal.
Are my scans uploaded anywhere?
Never. Images stay in local storage on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server, and rawPDF has no cloud of its own.
Can I scan several pages into one PDF?
Yes. Capture as many pages as you need in a single session and rawPDF combines them into one multi-page PDF you can reorder before saving.
