How to scan documents into Notes | Apple Support

To scan a document directly into your note, start by opening the Notes app and tapping the Attachments button while working on a specific note.

Next, select Scan Documents and position your camera so the entire page is visible on your screen; the app will then automatically capture the scan for you.

You can easily adjust the flash, apply helpful filters, or switch to a manual shutter if you prefer more control.

Once the initial scan is complete, you can continue adding more pages or simply tap Save to finish, instantly securing the scanned document right inside your note.

  • Open the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad and tap the Attachments button within a note.
  • Select “Scan Documents” and position your camera so the entire document is visible on the screen.
  • The app will automatically scan the page, but you can manually adjust flash, filters, and shutter settings if needed.
  • Continue adding more scans to the same document or tap “Save” once you are finished.
  • Your completed scan is instantly saved directly into your note for easy access.
