PaperLite: PDF Scanner & OCR

PaperLite turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs. Scan a contract, a receipt or a page of notes: the app straightens it, reads the text on your phone and files it in your library, ready to find, copy, save or share.

No watermark. No page limits. No account. Your scans are never uploaded.

SCAN IN SECONDS
- Edge detection, auto capture, cropping and perspective correction, plus filters and clean-up of stains and fingers.
- Many pages in one go. Add more pages to a document whenever you like.
- Import photos from your gallery, or share images to PaperLite from any app.
- No camera or storage permission: the scanner and the system photo picker do that work.

TEXT YOU CAN SEARCH AND COPY
- Every page is read on your phone (OCR) right after you scan it. A status card shows the progress: "Reading text… 2 of 3 pages", then "Text recognised".
- Search looks through document names and every word on every page, and shows the lines that match.
- Flip any page between the image and its text. Copy one page or the whole document.
- Reads Latin-script languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish and more), Japanese and Korean.
- New documents name themselves from their first line of text, such as "Invoice 2026-0142". A name you type is never replaced.

TIDY DOCUMENTS
- Drag pages into order, rotate or delete them, or replace a page by scanning it again. Undo and redo.
- Folders, sorting, renaming, and moving, sharing or deleting several documents at once.

EXPORT YOUR WAY
- Searchable PDF: your pages with an invisible text layer, so the PDF can be searched and its text selected in PDF readers.
- Page size: fit to scan, A4 or Letter. Three quality levels.
- Optional password protection for the PDF.
- Or JPG images, one per page.
- Save to Documents/PaperLite, pick any folder with Save as…, or share straight to another app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Scanning, text recognition and PDF creation all happen on your phone. Your scans and their text stay in the app until you save or share them, and they are excluded from cloud backup. The network is used only for ads, the optional purchase, app updates, and the usage statistics and crash reports that help us fix the app — never for your documents.

FAIR AND SIMPLE
Free with ads, and no subscription. A one-time purchase removes the ads for good, or watch one ad for an hour without ads. Light and dark themes, adjustable text size, and eight languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish.
