What is how to scan with iphone?

Here's how to scan documents with your iPhone:

Your iPhone has a built-in document scanner, making it easy to digitize paperwork without needing a separate app. There are a few different ways to access this feature:

  • Notes App: This is arguably the most convenient method. Open the Notes app and create a new note or open an existing one. Tap the camera icon, then select "Scan Documents." This will launch the scanner.

  • Files App: Open the Files app and browse to the location where you want to save the scan. Tap the three dots in a circle (More Options), and select "Scan Documents."

How to Scan:

  1. Position Your Document: Hold your iPhone steady over the document you want to scan. The scanner will automatically detect the edges of the document.

  2. Automatic Capture: By default, the scanner operates in auto mode. It will automatically capture the image when it detects the document is in focus and properly framed. You can also switch to manual mode by tapping the auto button (usually located at the top of the screen). In manual mode, you tap the shutter button to take the picture.

  3. Adjust the Scan (If Needed): After the scan is captured, you can adjust the corners of the document by dragging the circles. This ensures the scanned area is accurate.

  4. Choose a Filter: You can select a filter to apply to the scan, such as color, grayscale, or black and white.

  5. Add More Pages (Optional): If you're scanning a multi-page document, tap the "+" button to add another page and repeat the scanning process.

  6. Save the Scan: Once you've scanned all the pages, tap "Save." The scanned document will be saved as a PDF file in the Notes app or Files app location you specified.

Tips for Better Scans:

  • Good Lighting: Scan in a well-lit area to improve the quality of the scan. Avoid shadows.
  • Flat Surface: Place the document on a flat surface.
  • Steady Hands: Hold your iPhone as steady as possible while scanning.

These methods make it simple to digitize your documents directly from your iPhone.
