Features

Your iPhone Is a Document Scanner,
PDF Maker and OCR Tool

One tap to scan. A clean, searchable PDF in seconds. Receipts, contracts, IDs, notes, and whole books — digitized, organized, and private.

Auto-Scan & Crop

Point your camera. Filewise finds the edges, fixes the perspective, removes shadows, and captures a crisp page automatically — one tap, multi-page PDF.

On-Device OCR Search

Every scan becomes a searchable PDF. Find any word inside any document and copy text out — all processed privately on your iPhone, no cloud required.

Sign & Export Anywhere

Add your signature, then export to PDF or JPG and share to Mail, Messages, or Files — no watermarks and no paywall on the basics.

Private by Default

No account required to scan. No ads, and we never sell your data. Lock sensitive documents behind Face ID and keep everything on your device.

Comparison

Filewise vs. a typical scanner app

Yes. Filewise lets you scan and export to PDF and JPG for free — no watermark and no paywall on the basics. A Pro plan unlocks power features like batch export, advanced OCR, and cloud sync, with honest pricing: no weekly plan, a clearly-disclosed trial, and cancel in two taps. This is the main reason people look for an alternative to apps that charge just to export a file.
