ARC Scanner turns paper into text you can use.
Scan a document with your camera or import photos, and ARC Scanner recognizes the text on your device. Then export exactly what you need:
• Searchable PDF: looks like your scan, and the text can be selected, copied, and searched
• Plain text: one .txt file, separated by page
• Structured JSON: pages, text blocks, positions, and confidence, ready for your own scripts and tools
• All Files: the PDF, page images, text, JSON, and a manifest in one folder
• Plain PDF, JPEG, or PNG pages when you only need images
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Text recognition runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
• No account, no ads, no tracking.
MADE FOR REAL DOCUMENTS
• Multi-page scanning with automatic edge detection
• Import several photos at once
• Delete a page you don't need, with undo
• Compact PDFs: camera scans are embedded without being compressed again
• On iOS 26 and later, recognition keeps document structure, such as titles, where it is detected
ONE PRICE
Pay once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no watermarks, no page limits.
