Paperleaf: Scan & Edit PDF

Paperleaf turns the paper on your desk into clean PDFs and gets the paperwork done on your phone. Scan a lease, fill in a permission slip, sign it and send it, all in one place.

Try it with five free exports. Unlimited exports are a one-time purchase, with no subscription. There are no ads and no watermarks.

• Scan in seconds
Capture multi-page documents with automatic edge detection. Crop, rotate and clean up each page, then choose the paper size for your PDF. Import existing PDFs and photos too.

• Fill in and sign
Add text, dates, checkmarks and your signature to any page. Draw your signature once and reuse it. Move and resize every mark, then save a finished copy.

• Find any word you scanned
Paperleaf reads the text on your pages, so you can search inside receipts, contracts and notes. Fix a misread word in place. Export searchable PDFs or plain text.

• Fit any upload limit
Pick a target file size and preview the result before you share. Protect a PDF with a password when it holds something private.

• Put pages in order
Merge documents, split them, extract pages, reorder them or replace a page with a fresh scan.

• Keep it organized
Sort documents into color-coded folders, add tags and search across your whole library. Deleted documents wait in Recently deleted for 30 days.

• Your documents stay on your phone
Scanning, text recognition and editing all happen on your device. Your pages and their text are never uploaded to Paperleaf's servers. Lock the app with your fingerprint, face or PIN, and save a full library backup whenever you like.

• Made to feel calm
Four color palettes, light and dark, and a small cat who keeps you company while you work.

Good to know
• The scanner is delivered by Google Play services the first time you use it.
• Text recognition covers Latin-script languages such as English, French, Spanish and German. Pages in other scripts are scanned and exported as images.
• Imported PDFs become image pages. Your edits are saved to a new copy; original form fields and digital signatures are not carried over.
• Free exports are counted per Google account and need an internet connection. Re-exporting an unchanged document is always free.
• Purchased Unlimited access is restored with the same Google account and works offline once activated.
• Library backups are not encrypted, so store them somewhere safe.
