Vellumno: PDF Scanner and OCR

Vellumo turns your iPhone into a complete document workflow — scan, recognize text, edit, sign, watermark and share PDFs. Your documents never leave your device — scanning, OCR, and editing all happen locally. SCAN ANYTHING Capture single pages or multi-page documents with auto-edge detection and perspective correction. Import existing photos and PDFs from Files, Photos, or any app via the share sheet. Drag and drop files directly into your library. OCR THAT WORKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Extract searchable, copyable text from your scans using Apple's on-device Vision OCR. Recognizes text in all languages supported by Apple Vision, including English, Czech, Slovak, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese — with new languages added by Apple over time. Edit recognized text inline. Read OCR text aloud with synthesized speech. EDIT PDFs LIKE A PRO Reorder pages with drag and drop. Rotate, delete, split, or extract page ranges. Merge multiple documents into one. Highlight, underline, strike-through, and add free-text annotations in 6 colors. Redact sensitive areas with drag-to-select rectangles. Add bookmarks. Adjust scan brightness, contrast, and saturation. SIGN AND SEND Draw your signature with finger or Apple Pencil, save it, and place it anywhere on a PDF with custom size and position. Build a signature gallery for repeat use. Send signed documents via Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or Wi-Fi sharing — all without printing. PROTECT YOUR EXPORTS Add custom watermarks to exported PDFs — your text, your placement, your style. Perfect for "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", or branding without using a separate app. ORGANIZE INTELLIGENTLY Folders with unlimited nesting. Tags for cross-cutting organization. Custom folder colors and icons. Soft-delete trash with configurable retention. Bulk actions for selecting and managing multiple documents. FIND ANYTHING INSTANTLY Full-text search across all OCR'd documents with contextual snippets. Spotlight integration — find your scans directly from iOS search. Deep links to jump straight to a document.
