What is PDFLightScan?

PDFLightScan is an iOS mobile application designed for comprehensive PDF document management, offering a fast scanner, 100% on-device PDF compression, and optional AI tools. Users can scan paper documents, auto-crop, merge multiple pages, and compress them into lightweight PDFs for easy sharing. The app provides AI capabilities to summarize long reports, translate extracted text into multiple languages, and clean noisy OCR for clear, copy-ready text. All scanning and compression are performed locally on the device, ensuring privacy.

It offers a free mode, a one-time PRO purchase for Max compression and ad removal, and AI subscriptions or action packs for advanced AI usage.

FAQs

How does PDFLightScan ensure document privacy?

Scanning and compression are 100% local on your device. For AI functions, only extracted text is sent encrypted to our server and then to an AI provider. No original documents are stored server-side, ensuring your privacy.

What is included in the PRO one-time purchase?

The PRO one-time purchase unlocks Max compression mode and removes all advertisements from the app. This provides an enhanced, ad-free experience with the highest level of PDF compression available.

Are the AI features always active?

No, the AI features are optional and only activated when you explicitly trigger an AI action on a document. Compression is always 100% on-device, and AI is used only when you choose to utilize it.
