How to Scan Documents Using Your iPhone 17 Camera: Notes & Files Methods

Scanning Documents with iPhone Notes App

• 💡 Scan documents using the Notes app by tapping the paperclip icon and selecting 'Scan Documents'.
• 🎯 The iPhone camera automatically detects document edges, but you can manually adjust corners for precise perspective correction.
• 🎨 Apply filters like color, grayscale, or black and white to enhance the scan's appearance.
• ✅ Scans can be approved and added directly to your note.

Saving Scans as Files with Preview App

• 🚀 A more convenient method involves using the Preview app to scan documents directly into your Files.
• 📄 Position the document, and the app will automatically capture and prepare it for saving.
• ⚙️ Similar to Notes, you can adjust corners, apply filters (like black and white for better contrast), and rotate the scan.
• 📂 Once approved, the scanned document is saved, making it easily accessible within the Files app.

Finding Your Scanned Documents

• 🔍 Scanned documents saved via the Notes app are embedded within your notes.
• 📁 Documents scanned using the Preview app method are stored directly in the Files app for easy retrieval and organization.
