Scanner Pro review
A capable Apple-only scanner with OCR, search, exports, and organized document workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Scanner Pro is a mobile scanning app from Readdle for iPhone and iPad users, with a macOS presence. It scans documents, receipts, IDs, photos, and books, then creates PDFs or image files. Automatic border detection, perspective correction, multipage scanning, editing, annotations, printing, faxing, receipt data extraction, and expense reports make it suited to people who need more than basic camera-to-PDF capture. Its free tier covers core scanning, organization, sharing, and iCloud sync.
The Free plan includes document scanning, document organization, document sharing, and iCloud synchronization. Scanner Pro Plus costs $59.99 per year with annual billing and adds OCR, full-text search, watermark-free scans, automatic cloud upload, workflows, and password protection. A seven-day free trial is available. The paid tier is most relevant for users managing searchable archives, exporting polished documents, or automating recurring scan handling; casual users may find the free plan sufficient.
Scanner Pro connects with iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Evernote, OneNote, and WebDAV. Its export support covers PDF, JPEG, TXT, Word, and PowerPoint, while its document tools include crop, merge, split, distortion correction, retouching, and annotations. The main platform constraint is its availability on iOS and macOS, with no Android app. Choose it if you use Apple devices and value searchable, organized scans with broad export and cloud options. Consider an alternative if Android access is required or if OCR and watermark-free exports are not worth an annual subscription.
