PrivateScan PDF Scanner

Scan paper into searchable local PDFs with OCR text you can review, copy, search, and share.

Private Scanner is a calm, privacy-first document scanner for people who want searchable PDFs without uploading their paperwork to a server.

Use the camera to scan receipts, notes, forms, letters, claim packets, and other paper documents. Private Scanner creates a PDF locally, runs text recognition on your device, and saves the result in a simple library you can search, edit, copy, and share.

Free users can scan up to 5 documents per day, save up to 10 documents, and process up to 20 pages per scan. Private Scanner Pro supports heavier personal or professional scanning with a larger searchable scan library, longer documents, editable OCR text, and export-ready PDF records.

Key features:

• Scan paper documents into PDF files
• Import images and convert them into PDFs
• On-device OCR for searchable text
• Search saved documents by title or recognized text
• Edit, copy, and share extracted text
• Share PDF files or plain text
• Keep page count, file size, OCR, and export status visible
• No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking
• Documents and recognized text stay on your device unless you choose to share them
