No account needed to use the web app — your files stay in your browser.
A scanner that finishes the job
Most scanners hand you a PDF and stop there.
Pages that come out flat
Photograph a page at any angle. Curved and folded pages are flattened, not merely straightened, and the result fills the frame with no background.
Sign it properly
Draw a signature or photograph one off paper — the background is removed and it is saved for reuse. Add text, dates, shapes and freehand notes anywhere.
Redaction that redacts
The words underneath are removed from the file, not hidden behind a black box that anyone can drag away.
Every scan searchable
Real text recognition in the languages your iPhone is set up for. Search your library by what is written on the pages, not just by file name.
Reorganise and merge
Reorder, rotate and delete pages. Merge in pages from another PDF, your photos or the camera. Pull out the pages you need as their own document.
Locked when you want
Password-protect a PDF before you send it, and keep the app itself behind Face ID.
Receipts become an expense record
Scan a long till receipt and it is read, not just photographed.
Read, line by line
The shop, the date, and every item with its quantity and price — stitched together from overlapping photos of a receipt two feet long.
Filed by category
Groceries, hardware, fuel, dining, travel and more, suggested from the shop's name and always yours to change.
Corrected before it counts
Print on thermal tape is not perfect, so everything the scan read is shown for you to fix before it is filed.
Your documents stay yours
Mark up anything
Export anywhere
PDF, JPEG, Word, plain text, or formatted text that keeps the original's headings, alignment and paragraph breaks.
Save where you like
Straight into Files or iCloud Drive, in the folder you choose and under the name you choose — with a copy kept in the app for next time.
The same editor, in your browser
Nothing to install and no account to make. Open a PDF, a Word document or a few photos and you get the whole editor: sign it, redact it, rotate and reorder its pages, merge it with another document, then export it as a PDF, JPEG, plain text or rich text.
Your files stay yours
Documents you open in the browser are held by the browser itself. They are not uploaded anywhere, and they are still there when you come back.
Redaction that actually redacts
A redacted page is rebuilt from pixels, so the words underneath are gone from the file — not hidden behind a black box that anyone can select and copy.
Your iCloud library, if you want it
Already using the iPhone app with iCloud sync on? Sign in and work on those same documents here. Entirely optional — everything works without it.
Popular tasks
Sign a PDF
Open the PDF, place your signature, add the date, save. The file never leaves your device.
Redact a PDF
A black rectangle drawn over a PDF hides text on screen — but the words are usually still in the file, and anyone can select and copy them. Armadillo Scan removes them.
Merge PDFs
Put several PDFs, photos or Word files together, arrange the pages, and save one clean PDF.
Word to PDF
Got a contract or form as a Word file? Open it and it becomes a PDF you can sign, date and send.
Receipt scanner
Scan a receipt and Armadillo Scan reads the shop, the date and every item with its price, files it under a category, and adds it to your monthly totals.
No-subscription scanner
Scanner apps tend to cost $30–60 a year, every year. Armadillo Scan is $14.99, once — and covers the iPhone app and the web app.
Scan on iPhone
Point the camera at a page: it's found, squared up and flattened, and the text becomes searchable.
