Guides

Documents on iPhone: scan, keep and share copies

Start with what you have: paper, an existing photograph or files you need to retrieve again. These guides distinguish capturing a readable copy from converting its format or extracting accounting data.

If your scanner has stopped working, compare Microsoft Lens alternatives. For an image already in your gallery, turn a document photo into a scan. To keep a paper document complete, follow scanning multiple pages into one PDF. For purchases, see scanning and organising receipts, including when an expense app is needed instead.

    Crop an existing document photo, correct its perspective and check small text on iPhone before saving a scan you can find and share again.

  2. Microsoft Lens alternatives for scanning on iPhone

    Replace Microsoft Lens with Notes, OneDrive or Dokus on iPhone. Compare where scans are saved and check the features you need before moving your files.

  3. How to scan multiple pages into one PDF on iPhone

    Capture several pages in one scan on iPhone, save a complete PDF, and check page order and readability before uploading or sending it.

  4. Scan and organise receipts on iPhone

    Choose a receipt scanning workflow, capture a readable bill and organise copies by date and shop. Know when you need an expense app instead.
