ScanovaScan it. Understand it. Act on it.
Scanova turns paper into clean PDFs on your iPhone, lets you sign and annotate them, and explains the fine print in plain language when you ask.
For iPhone. Free to download, with a 3-day free trial of Pro.
One document, every tool one tap away.
Everything you scan or import becomes a document. Sign it, mark it up, pull out its text or send it on, without switching apps.
-
Scan to PDF
Edges are found for you. Crop, rotate, retake and pick a filter: original, enhanced, grayscale or black and white. Many pages, one PDF.
-
Sign and annotate
Draw or type your signature once and place it anywhere. Add text, highlights, dates, check marks and freehand notes, with undo.
-
Extract text
Recognize every word on every page, on your iPhone. Copy it, share it as text, or make the PDF searchable in other apps.
-
Convert
Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF, and PDF to Word. Photos to PDF, PDF to images, merge and split. The file you convert is deleted right after.
-
QR scan and create
Scan any QR code or barcode and get the right action: open, join Wi-Fi, add a contact. Links are always shown first. Make your own with colors and a logo.
-
Files, export and print
Folders, search by name or by the words inside, and a Recently Deleted folder for 30 days. Export as PDF or JPG, share, print or save to Files.
Know what a document says, and what to do next.
The first time you use an AI feature, Scanova tells you what is sent and asks. Say no, and nothing leaves your iPhone.
-
Explain this
The fine print, in plain language
Contracts, policies, bills, letters from an office. Scanova gives you a short summary, the facts that matter, the deadlines and the red flags, then a to-do list. Ask follow-up questions in your own words.
- Red flags like auto-renewal, hidden fees and exit penalties, with the line they come from.
- Add a deadline to Calendar or Reminders in one tap.
- Saved with the document, so it opens instantly next time.
-
Translate
A new language, the same document
Scanova detects the language and translates the page into yours while keeping its layout. Headings stay headings, tables stay tables. Slide to compare the original and the translation.
- Images, logos and signatures stay untouched.
- The translation is saved next to the original.
- Made for official letters, menus and forms abroad.
-
Business card
A business card becomes a contact
Scan a card and Scanova fills in the name, company, title, phone numbers, email, website and address. Anything it isn't sure of is marked, so you check only that. Then save it to Contacts, share it or make a contact QR code.
- Front and back of the card.
- Spots a card in a regular scan and offers to save it.
-
AI Art QR
QR codes worth looking at, and still scannable
Type a link, pick a style or describe your own, and choose between more art and more scannable. Every generation gives two variants, and each one is checked to scan before you see it.
- Japanese Wave, Neon City, Watercolor Garden, Latte Art, Origami and more.
- A code that doesn't scan is never shown and never costs you anything.
- Save to Photos, share, or use it on a poster.

Scanova, in short.
Is Scanova free?
Scanova is free to download. Scanning, importing, organizing, annotating and QR scanning are free without limits, and you can try each AI feature. Scanova Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, billed yearly, or weekly with a 3-day free trial, that unlocks signing, text extraction, unlimited exports without a watermark and the full AI features. Cancel any time in your Apple ID subscription settings.
Do my documents leave my iPhone?
Your documents, pages, signatures, annotations, QR history and business cards are stored on your iPhone. Scanova has no sign-up and does not sync your library. Scanning, text recognition and business cards run on your iPhone, and Explain this and Translate run on the device too where your iPhone supports Apple's on-device AI. When a feature needs the cloud, Scanova asks first; the document's text is then sent to an AI provider to produce your result and is not stored. A Word, Excel or PowerPoint conversion runs on Scanova's own server and the file is deleted right after.
What does Explain this do?
Explain this turns a contract, policy, bill or official letter into plain language: a short summary, the document type, key facts, deadlines you can add to Calendar or Reminders, red flags such as auto-renewal or hidden fees, and a to-do list. You can ask follow-up questions. AI can make mistakes; it is not legal, financial or medical advice.
Can Scanova translate a document and keep the layout?
Yes. Scanova detects the source language and translates the document into the language you choose while keeping the original layout, so it looks like the same document in a new language. Images, logos and signatures stay untouched, and a compare slider shows the original and the translation side by side. Handwriting is not translated.
Can I convert Word, Excel or PowerPoint files to PDF?
Yes. Scanova converts Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to PDF and PDF to Word. These conversions run on Scanova's own server and the file is deleted right after. Photos to PDF, PDF to images, merging and splitting run on your iPhone.
What is an AI Art QR code?
An AI Art QR code is a QR code that looks like artwork and still scans. Enter a link or text, pick a style such as Japanese Wave, Latte Art or Origami or describe your own, and choose more art or more scannable. Every result is checked to scan before you see it; codes that don't scan are never shown and don't cost anything.
