Clean scans, automatically
Pagefold finds the edges, then crops, straightens and cleans up every page. Scan many pages into one PDF, or import photos from your gallery.
Find any word
The text in each scan is read on your phone, so you can search all your scans by a word inside them, then copy or share the text.
Save it your way
Save a PDF to Downloads, Google Drive or any folder, save pages as images in your gallery, or share to any app.
Private by design
No sign-in and no upload. Your scans are stored on your phone and leave it only when you save or share them.
Your files stay yours
Pagefold doesn't ask you to sign in and doesn't upload your documents. Scanning and text recognition happen on your phone.
