Overview
The iOS Document Scanner SDK is a powerful and easy-to-integrate software development kit for turning smartphones and tablets into fast and reliable document scanners.
Features include:
-
User guidance: Ease of use is crucial for large user bases. The on-screen user guidance helps even non-tech-savvy users create perfect scans.
-
Automatic capture: The SDK automatically captures the document when the device is optimally positioned over the document. This reduces the risk of blurry or incomplete document scans compared to manually triggered captures.
-
Automatic cropping: The SDK automatically straightens and crops scanned documents, ensuring high-quality document scan results.
-
Image filters: Every document scanning use case has specific image requirements. With the SDK’s custom filters, you can tailor the document scanning image output to your backend system. They include grayscale options, multiple binarizations, and other settings to optimize your document scanning for various document types.
-
Document Quality Analyzer: This feature automatically rates the quality of the scanned pages from “very poor” to “excellent.” If the quality is below a specified threshold, the SDK prompts the user to rescan.
-
Multiple export formats: The SDK supports several output formats for exporting digitized documents, like JPG, PDF, and TIFF. This ensures your downstream solutions receive the best format to store, print, or share the digitized document – or to process it further.
With the Ready-To-Use UI Components (RTU UI), you can integrate the SDK's scanning functionalities with only a few lines of code. This way, you can benefit from tried-and-true UX design and straightforward integration while still being able to customize the visual appearance to match your brand.
If you want full control over the scanner's appearance, you can instead use the SDK's Classic UI Components (Classic UI) to build a fully customized scanning experience yourself.

Requirements
Operating system
- iOS 13 and higher
IDE
- Xcode 14.0 and higher
No internet connection required
The Scanbot SDK works completely offline. It does not even contain any networking code. This can easily be verified by routing all networking traffic coming from the app through a proxy.
All data generated by the Scanbot SDK is only stored on the end user's device and in absolutely no case ever transferred to a server or cloud service controlled by us. You have full control over how you upload the scans and data to your backend.
Simulators/emulators
While it is possible to test your app with the Scanbot SDK on simulators/emulators, we strongly recommend using real iOS/Android devices.
Depending on the emulated camera, you may not be able to test and evaluate the full functionality of the Scanbot SDK.
