PDF Éclair: Scanner & OCR

PDF Éclair turns your phone into a document scanner. Snap an invoice, a contract, a book page or a business card: the app detects the edges automatically, straightens the perspective and produces a sharp, searchable PDF — all offline, with no account and no internet connection.

100% OFFLINE
No server, no account to create: capture, editing, OCR and export all happen on your device, and your documents never leave it. The free version shows ads (Google AdMob); ad-free versions also never process your documents outside your device.

SMART CAPTURE
• Real-time automatic edge detection, with the shutter firing as soon as the framing is steady
• Burst capture to scan several pages in a row, with no screen in between
• Import existing photos from your gallery
• Low-light warning

A MODE FOR EVERY DOCUMENT
• Document — the standard mode, for any sheet of paper
• ID card — front and back merged automatically onto a single page
• Book — a single shot, two pages split at the binding
• Whiteboard — brightened background for clearly readable notes
• Business card — text recognition and a pre-filled contact card

EDITING AND FILTERS
• Manual cropping of the four corners, rotation in 90° steps
• Five filters: Color, Auto (enhanced contrast), Grayscale, Black & white, Whiteboard
• Lighting correction: softens shadows and glare without washing out logos
• Magic eraser to remove an unwanted element
• Freehand annotations in three colors
• Apply one setting to all pages at once

OCR AND EXPORT
• Offline text recognition (Latin script), automatic or on demand
• Export to PDF with a real searchable, highlightable text layer
• Also export as JPEG (one image per page) or TXT
• Convert recognized text to a Word (.docx) or RTF document, with the layout rebuilt

WATERMARK AND ORGANIZATION
• Customizable watermark (text, position, size, color, opacity) on exported files
• Library with folders, search by name or by already-recognized text, sort by date or name
• Merge and split documents, reorder pages by drag and drop
• Light or dark theme

Ideal for scanning invoices, contracts, handwritten notes, administrative papers, book pages or business cards — without ever leaving airplane mode.
