Did you know that your iPhone has a built-in document scanner? You don’t need a separate app to scan documents, receipts, or handwritten notes. With the Notes app, you can quickly capture and save scanned files as PDFs. Here’s how to use it.
How to Scan Documents with the Notes App
- Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
- Tap the Create New Note button (bottom right).
- Tap the Camera icon and select Scan Documents.
- Place your document in view; the camera will automatically detect and scan it.
- Adjust the corners if needed and tap Keep Scan.
- Tap Save to store the scanned document in your note.
Additional Features
- Convert to PDF: After scanning, you can share the document as a PDF by tapping the Share button.
- Edit Scanned Documents: Use the Markup tool to highlight or sign scanned documents.
- Scan Multiple Pages: Keep scanning to add multiple pages to a single document.
- Searchable Text (Live Text): If the document contains typed text, you can copy and search it using Live Text.
