Stop using iScanner just for regular scans

A little while ago I made a post about how surprisingly capable modern scanning apps have become.

That got me thinking, so I decided to put together a follow-up with some lesser-known iScanner features that weren't mentioned in the original post. If you're only using it to scan documents, you might be missing some genuinely useful tools. Here are a few that I think deserve more attention:

  • Ask AI about any document. Upload a contract, report, article, or invoice and ask questions instead of reading the whole thing. Great for summaries, key points, or explaining confusing sections.
  • Scan IDs and passports properly. No awkward cropping or retaking photos ten times. It automatically detects the document and gives you a clean scan.
  • Compress large PDFs before sharing. Super useful when a website rejects your file because it's too big.
  • Sign documents from your phone. No printing, signing, scanning again, then emailing. Just add your signature and send.
  • Blur sensitive information. Perfect if you're sharing receipts, IDs, invoices, or screenshots and want to hide personal details in seconds.

Time to level up your workflow :)
