You can do all of this right from your iPhone or iPad, too. Those scans and notes will also be pushed to your other devices if you have iCloud syncing enabled, too. Your scans will now appear in the Notes app and inside the note that you selected.
Tap “Save” when you have scanned all of the pages you need. You can also switch from a color to a grayscale scan by tapping the three circles in the top-center of the screen. Tap the flash icon to enable or disable it as required. This will give you more control over the scan’s composition, although the automatic scanning has worked surprisingly well in our testing. Tap the “Auto” button in the top-right corner if you’d prefer to take the scan manually by tapping the shutter button. You can scan multiple pages by placing them in front of the camera. Position the document in the viewfinder and the camera will automatically take a scan of it. The camera will open on the iPhone or iPad you’re using. If multiple devices are available, select “Insert from iPhone or iPad” and then select the correct source. Again, that could be an iPhone or iPad – in this case, we’re using an iPhone 11 Pro. Right-click inside the note that you want to attach the scanned document to and select “Scan Documents” below the device that you want to use. We’d suggest starting a new note per scan, but it’s entirely up to you depending on what you’re scanning and what you intend to use it for. Start by opening the Notes app on your Mac and either creating a new note or selecting the one that you want to import the scanned document into. The Mac will need to be running macOS Mojave or later, while iOS 12 and iPadOS 12 or later are required on the iPhone and iPad. They also need to be signed into the same iCloud account, too. Both the Mac and the device you’re using to take the scan will need to be on the same Wi-Fi network with Bluetooth enabled. What You’ll Need To Scan DocumentsĪs usual, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met before you can scan documents using your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. We’ve already shown you how to do this using the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad, but here’s how things go down when you throw a Mac into the mix. Whatever the reason for your scanning, doing it is way easier than you might think. 
The document that you’re scanning will appear in the Notes app on your Mac, ready to be manipulated or saved for posterity.
Technically, you’re still using your iPhone or iPad but only as the scanning hardware.
