SCAN A DOCUMENT IN THE NOTES APP

01 CREATE NOTE

Open the Notes app on your iPhone and create a new note. It’s a good idea to enter some text because this will be used as a title, helping you to find scanned items later.

02 SHOW THE MENU

The row of buttons in the toolbar above the keyboard gives you access to additional options. Tap the plus icon, then tap Scan Documents at the top of the sheet that opens.

03 SCAN THE DOCUMENT

Place your document on a dark background for contrast and point the iPhone at it. Follow any instructions displayed at the foot of the screen, and a scan is automatically recorded.

04 ADJUST THE CROP

Most of the time, the app will automatically detect the edges of the document and crop the background for you. If need be, you can reposition the corner markers manually.

05 REPEAT AND SAVE

Place your next document or receipt in front of the iPhone camera and let the app scan it. When you’ve scanned all your items, tap the Save button in the bottom-right corner.

06 EDIT AND SAVE

The scanned items appear in Notes, and you can tap them to view them, enter additional text, draw on them, and more. When you’re done making edits, tap Done at the top.
