Scan, read, and print your documents — without them ever leaving your iPhone
DocAura is a document scanner, PDF toolkit, and ID photo printer that runs entirely on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking, no ads.
What it does
Everything below runs on-device, using Apple's own frameworks.
Scan to PDF
Automatic edge detection and perspective correction. One-tap filters make faded print sharp. Choose A4, US Letter, or the original size.
Searchable scans (OCR)
On-device text recognition puts a searchable text layer inside every scan, so you can find a document later by what's written in it.
Extract text
Pull the words out of any PDF, copy them, or share them as a plain text file. Scans without a text layer are read with recognition.
ID on one page
Front and back of a licence, ID card, or passport page on a single sheet at true physical size — an ID card prints at 85.6 × 54 mm.
Passport photos
Print sheets sized for US 2×2 in, UK/EU 35×45 mm, India 35×45 mm, Brazil 3×4 cm, and China 33×48 mm — or export one photo under a file size limit for online forms.
Full PDF toolkit
Merge, split, compress, sign with your own signature, watermark every page, and unlock a PDF whose password you already know.
Why "offline" means something here
This isn't a promise about how data is handled. There is no data handling.
- DocAura makes exactly one network request — it asks the App Store whether a newer version exists. There is no server of ours to talk to.
- No sign-in, no account, no email address, no identifiers.
- No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no third-party code of any kind.
- Scans, OCR, and every PDF operation run locally using Apple's frameworks.
- Your files live in the iOS Files app, where you control them.
