Edges found, pages straightened
The document camera detects the page, captures it automatically and corrects the perspective — one page after another, as many as you need.
Searchable PDF Image + invisible text layer
JPEG & text Pages as images or .txt
A4 · Letter · Auto Page size per export
Up to 300 DPI Size estimate before export
Less Papierkram
A document scanner that stays out of your way.
Clean up every page
Reorder, rotate, re-crop with four corner handles and pick a filter per page: original, colour enhanced, greyscale or black & white.
Text recognition on your phone
On-device OCR for German and English turns every scan into text you can select, copy and export — without sending a single page anywhere.
Find any document again
Full-text search over titles and recognised text. Type a word from an invoice or letter and the right document comes up.
Export — or straight to your cloud
Share, print or save as PDF, JPEG or text, with page size, quality and a size estimate. With Pro, new scans can also go automatically to your own ownCloud or OpenCloud.
Private by architecture
No account, no Papyrion cloud, no uploads to us. Your pages and their text stay in the app on your device, optionally behind Face ID or your device PIN.
Searchable PDF · Pro
Search your paper like your email.
With Pro, Papyrion reads every page on your device and stores the text alongside the scan. Search finds a document by any word on any page, and the exported PDF carries an invisible text layer — so you can search, select and copy in any PDF viewer, too.
Unlocking Pro indexes your existing library in the background, newest documents first. Nothing is uploaded to us, and nothing is processed on a server.

FAQ
Good to know
Are my scans uploaded anywhere?
Not to us. Scanning, text recognition, search and export all run on your device, and there is no account and no Papyrion cloud. The only things that leave your phone are files you share or print yourself, documents you choose to upload to your own ownCloud or OpenCloud server, and anonymous usage statistics if you opt in under Settings → Privacy (off by default).
What's free and what does Pro add?
Scanning, page editing and filters, the document library and PDF/JPEG export in standard quality are free — with no watermark. Papyrion Pro adds text recognition, searchable PDFs, full-text search, text export, folders, high-resolution export, naming templates, the app lock and automatic upload to your own ownCloud or OpenCloud.
Can Papyrion save my scans to ownCloud or OpenCloud?
Yes, with Pro. Connect your server under Settings → Cloud upload with an app token you create there, pick a folder, and every new scan is uploaded as a searchable PDF once text recognition is done — by default over Wi-Fi only. Files are never overwritten, and the upload goes straight from your phone to your server over HTTPS.
What happens to my documents if I delete the app?
They are deleted — there is no account and no Papyrion cloud, so a reinstall starts with an empty library. Keep a copy by exporting a document (for example Save to Files) or, with Pro, by uploading it automatically to your own ownCloud or OpenCloud. Documents that exist only on your phone are labelled “Only on this device” in the library.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase that you keep forever and can restore on your other devices. No trial that renews, no ads. The price is shown in the app in your local currency.
Which languages does text recognition support?
German and English. Recognition works best on flat, evenly lit pages; handwriting, tiny print, glare and creases stay hard. Always check amounts, dates and names against the original.
