Paper shows up everywhere. Then the work starts.
Receipts. Forms. IDs. A contract that needs a signature tonight. Each one still has to become a clean PDF someone else can open — and that last mile is where the scramble lives.
Intelligent Document Scanner
Paperly turns your camera into a professional scanner. It automatically detects edges, corrects perspective, and cleans up shadows so receipts, notes, and ID cards look like flatbed scans.
- 1
Point at the page
Any surface, any angle. Handheld is fine.
- 2
Edges found automatically
Paperly outlines the real corners as you frame it.
- 3
Flattened and cleaned
Perspective corrects, shadows lift, and the photo becomes a document.
Offline OCR & Text Extraction
Paperly turns flat images into searchable PDFs instantly. The built-in multilingual OCR extracts text without requiring an internet connection.
Offline PDF Editor & Tools
Merge, split, reorder, annotate, sign, and compress. The PDF editor lives next to the scanner, allowing you to finish the document completely offline.
PDF Signatures & Annotation
Draw your signature once. Place it on the line, size it to the page, highlight text, and add stamps—no printer, no signing service, no upload required.
Your documents stay where they belong.
Paperly processes scans, OCR, signatures, and edits locally on your iPhone. Export happens when you choose. The app does not need to upload a document to work.
- Files stay on device
- OCR runs locally
- No account required
- You choose every export
Combine & Organize Documents
What began as receipts, forms, IDs, and loose pages leaves Paperly as a single finished file — cleaned, searchable, signed if needed, and ready to send.
