Here is how you can scan documents on your iPhone or iPad:
Scanning documents on your iPhone or iPad can be a convenient way to digitize paper documents and make them easier to share or store. With the built-in camera on your device and a few simple steps, you can scan documents quickly and easily. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Open the Notes App The first thing you need to do is open the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad. You can do this by tapping on the app icon on your home screen.
Step 2: Create a New Note Once you have opened the Notes app, you need to create a new note. To do this, tap on the new note icon (the square with the pencil inside) in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Step 3: Tap on the Camera Icon When you have created a new note, tap on the camera icon that appears in the bottom middle of the screen.
Step 4: Choose “Scan Documents” Once you tap on the camera icon, you will see a few different options. Choose “Scan Documents” from the list.
Step 5: Position the Document Next, position the document that you want to scan so that it appears within the viewfinder. You may need to adjust the position of your device or the document to get the best possible image.
Step 6: Tap on the Shutter Button When you are ready to take the photo, tap on the shutter button. This will capture an image of the document and bring up a preview of the scan.
Step 7: Adjust the Corners Once you have taken the photo, you will need to adjust the corners of the document. This will help to make sure that the scan is straight and all the important information is included. You can do this by dragging the blue dots that appear around the edges of the image.
Step 8: Choose to Keep or Retake the Scan After you have adjusted the corners, you can choose to either keep the scan or retake it. If you are happy with the scan, tap on “Keep Scan.” If you want to retake the scan, tap on “Retake.”
Step 9: Save the Scan Finally, once you are happy with the scan, you can save it by tapping on “Save” in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The scan will be saved as a PDF file in the note that you created earlier.
That’s it! You have now scanned a document on your iPhone or iPad. You can repeat these steps to scan additional documents and save them in the same note, or create a new note for each document if you prefer. Scanning documents on your iPhone or iPad is a quick and easy way to digitize paper documents, and it can be especially helpful if you need to share or store them electronically.
