What Tiny Scanner is
Tiny Scanner is a document-scanning app for iOS, Android, macOS, and web access through its cloud service. It detects document edges automatically, offers scan modes and filters, recognizes text in multiple languages, and supports multipage PDFs. Documents can be converted to PDF, Word, Excel, or image files. Its PDF editor adds text, images, dates, highlights, watermarks, and footers. The PDF AI assistant can summarize or simplify documents, highlight information, extract contacts, and help draft or polish emails. Tiny Scanner Cloud syncs files across phones, tablets, and the web; turning sync off keeps files local. Protection includes app lock, a password- or Face ID-protected Safe Folder, PDF encryption, and encrypted exported PDFs. Website tools merge, compress, and sign PDFs without sign-up or subscription. The app has a free plan and multiple in-app purchases, including monthly and yearly premium options and a one-time Plus upgrade.
