Checking installation…
Select two or more PDF files. SoloScan combines them in the order you select them.
No PDFs selected.
Select a PDF and export chosen pages as a new PDF (for example, 1-3,5).
Read text from your scanned pages and produce searchable PDFs, where recognition succeeds.
Checking OCR files…
The one-time engine download may be tens of megabytes. English and Urdu language models are bundled with the app. OCR uses device memory and may be slow on large documents.
For food or shop receipts, choose Receipt / invoice and English. Crop tightly, keep the text sharp, and avoid the Smallest PDF preset for text extraction.
Scan or import pages, then tap Recognize.
Choose the matching PDF only. OCR text stays on this device and is included in your unencrypted library backup.
Low-confidence text is flagged for review. OCR can still make mistakes, especially on faint thermal receipts, handwriting, legal documents, low-quality images, or Urdu. A searchable PDF embeds automatically recognized text; manual edits above affect TXT export only.
Reorder, rotate or remove pages from an existing PDF. The original file is not changed.
Select a PDF to see its page count. Requires the existing offline PDF editing engine.
Order numbers refer to the original PDF. Removed pages are excluded from the final PDF. Rotation uses original page numbers. Existing PDF annotations may be carried over by the PDF library; verify the result before discarding the source.
Add your handwritten signature, text or highlighted areas to an existing PDF. Edits are applied locally and exported as a new PDF.
Select a PDF to begin. The optional preview engine needs a one-time online download.
Import a PDF and install PDF preview to place annotations.
Select your tool, then tap the page to place it. Preview annotations are saved only when you export a new PDF. For rotated source PDFs, annotation placement is disabled to prevent misalignment.
Draw with your finger or stylus. This is an image of your handwritten signature, not a certificate-based digital signature.

Encrypt a PDF inside a SoloScan .sscan file, or unlock a .sscan file back into a standard PDF.
Important: A .sscan file is not a password-protected PDF. Recipients need SoloScan to unlock it. Encryption uses AES-256-GCM with a password-derived key; the password cannot be recovered.
All encryption and decryption happens on your device. Do not forget your password.
Save, organize and back up your PDFs on this device.
The library is stored separately from your unfinished scanning draft. Save finished PDFs using “Save to library”.

Checking available browser storage…
Local web-app storage can be cleared by the browser or operating system. Back up your library regularly and save important PDFs to Files. ZIP backups are not encrypted.
Simple controls, with privacy by design.
Compact presets reduce file size by reducing image resolution and JPEG quality.
A4 is best for printing documents.
Optionally add a separate white footer with page numbers without covering your scanned content.
Try finding a light document against a contrasting surface whenever you take or import a photo. You can always adjust corners manually.
Open this website in Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. Open once online before scanning offline.
Checking offline support...
No server uploads or analytics. Your draft pages are stored locally in the browser when storage permits. iOS may clear browser data: export important PDFs to the Files app.
PDF page organizer, searchable tags and OCR text index, library batch actions, ZIP and CSV exports, and your existing scanner, signing, offline OCR and encrypted-file tools.
