Short answer
To scan an ID card or passport page, capture a sharp, glare-free image, crop to the document, export a clean PDF, and lock it behind Face ID — since ID scans are sensitive, on-device handling matters.
ScanTo Pro is built for exactly this, with Pay once, No subscription, On-device. Test it on a real example before relying on it, and check the current App Store listing for pricing.
What to look for before choosing
- Glare reduction and auto edge-detection.
- Crop to the card/passport cleanly.
- Export a clear PDF or image.
- Face ID / password lock on the file.
- On-device — no forced cloud upload.
A practical decision process
- Place the ID on a flat, contrasting surface.
- Scan it with ScanTo Pro, avoiding glare.
- Crop to the document edges.
- Lock the PDF with Face ID.
- Share only when you choose to.
Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
