SlimScan: Scan or Shrink PDF

Tired of "Attachment too large"?

SlimScan scans paper and shrinks the PDFs you already have: 20 pages in under 1.5 MB. Everything happens on your iPhone.

SHRINK THE PDFs YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Share any PDF to SlimScan from Mail, Files, WhatsApp or Safari, or tap Shrink a big PDF.
• SlimScan rebuilds it as a small, sharp PDF and shows what you saved (was 14 MB, now 1.3 MB).
• Works with any PDF: reports, slides, web pages, not just scans.

SMALL. REALLY SMALL.
• About 75 KB a page, often a tenth of a normal phone scan.
• Choose Small, Email or Sharp, or set your own limit with Custom. You see the exact size and a tick before you send.
• Text pages turn crisp black and white; colour pages stay in colour.
• Paper size (A4 or Letter) follows your region.

UPLOAD LIMITS
• Online form with a 500 KB limit? Choose Custom, type 500 KB, and see the exact size and a tick before you upload.
• Job applications, insurance claims, visa portals, school forms: every page in one small PDF. Scan them, or add photos and PDFs. Works offline.

SCAN AND FIX
• Scan document uses Apple's document camera: edge detection, perspective correction, several pages in a row.
• Photos to PDF turns your photos into one small PDF.
• Tap a page to leave it out. Crop, rotate or reorder; Remove glare combines two photos of glossy paper.

MORE TOOLS
• Remove hidden data: see and remove location, camera, dates and names in photos and PDFs.
• Copy text from any page.
• ID & visa photo: pick the document and SlimScan frames your photo to its size, with a plain background and a quality check. Saved as a photo file for online forms, or as a print sheet for offices that accept printed photos. A guide, not a guarantee: confirm the rules with the issuing office. Not affiliated with any government.
• Share as pictures (JPG), email, print with AirPrint, or keep it in Saved (also in the Files app).
