Paperlight: PDF Scanner

About

Paperlight does one thing: it turns paper into a PDF and saves it exactly where you want in the Files app. That's it. That's the app. Point the camera at a page. Paperlight finds the edges, straightens it, and captures it — one page or twenty. Give it a name (or keep the tidy default, like "2026-07-25 Scan 001"), tap Save to Files, and pick any folder: iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or any storage app you use. Done. Your scans never leave your phone. Everything happens on-device. Paperlight has no servers, no account, no sign-in, and collects no data. The PDF goes from your camera to your Files folder — nowhere else. We don't even keep a copy; your history is just a list of names and locations, so you can jump back to any scan right where you saved it in Files. Pay once. Own it forever. Your first 5 scans are free, and the counter is always visible — no surprises. After that, one purchase of $9.99 unlocks Paperlight for life. No subscription. No renewal. No "premium tier." Nothing to cancel. What Paperlight does - Scans single or multi-page documents with automatic edge detection - Saves PDFs directly to any folder in the Files app - Names files automatically with a template you control - Keeps a history that deeplinks straight to each PDF in Files - Works completely offline What Paperlight doesn't do - No cloud sync. - No ads. - No watermarks. - No account. - No tracking. - No subscription. If you want a scanner that respects your documents, your money, and your time — this is it.
