One session. Multiple PDFs. Zero interruption.
Create multiple standalone PDFs in one session. Save one document, then move straight to the next without leaving or reopening the camera.
More than 2× faster in our comparative test*A multipage scanner combines several pages into one PDF. Scantivo creates multiple standalone PDFs one after another while keeping the camera open.
It’s everything you do between two documents.
For years, scanning apps were built around one document at a time.
You scan. You save. You leave the scanner. You return to the library. You start a new capture. Then you do it all again.
For a single document, the friction feels small.
For a stack of invoices, receipts, contracts, or admin paperwork, those interruptions stack up. Scanning several documents in a row shouldn’t force such a fragmented workflow.
A multipage PDF combines pages into one file. Scantivo’s continuous Multi-PDF workflow saves multiple standalone PDFs without closing the camera between documents.
A single session creates several independent PDFs. Save one document and immediately scan the next without leaving the camera.
Several pages are combined into one PDF. It suits one long document, not a stack of separate documents.
A session produces one PDF. To start the next document, you save, return to the library, and reopen the scanner.
Six steps to repeat for every document in the stack:
One continuous flow:
The PDF saves in the background. The camera stays open. You can start the next document immediately.
Scan → Create PDF → Continue: every file stays separate and the camera session remains uninterrupted.
With Scantivo, you stay in the camera.
You finish a document and create its PDF. It saves in the background, the camera stays open, and you can start the next document immediately.
No return to the menu.
No trip through the library.
No restarting the camera.
Document after document, you create as many independent PDFs as you need, in a single continuous scanning session.
Always in the same session — without leaving the camera.
Timed test · 26 August 2026
On the same iPhone and with the same sheet, Scantivo created ten separate PDFs more than twice as fast as CamScanner and Adobe Scan in our comparative test.
Scantivo doesn’t try to artificially speed up every capture.
It mainly accelerates everything that happens between two documents.
Fewer menus. Fewer returns. Fewer useless actions. More continuity.
Scan a whole stack without restarting for every document.
Clear actions: scan, create the PDF, continue.
A workflow that follows the natural order of the papers in front of you.
Each document immediately becomes an independent, organized PDF.
Whenever you need to turn a stack of paper into separate files, continuous multi-PDF scanning changes the pace.
Scan invoices one after another without starting a new session. Each invoice becomes its own PDF—ready to file, find, or send.
Create one PDF per subject, chapter, or project. When new sheets arrive, reopen the existing PDF and add the new pages. Your notes stay in one living document that evolves with the year.
Create a PDF called “My recipes”, then give each page a clear label: “Tiramisu”, “Lasagna”, “Lemon tart”… You can edit those labels whenever you want, and rename the full PDF as well.
Then find the PDF by its name, or search for a word inside the recipes—like “mascarpone”, “béchamel”, or “180 °C”.
PDF: My recipes
Search: mascarpone Tiramisu
Digitize tickets and expense proofs in sequence. Keep each receipt in a separate file to simplify expense reports, bookkeeping, or spending tracking.
Contracts, quotes, forms, insurance papers, leases, or legal documents: chain several dossiers without leaving the scan screen.
ID cards, passports, licenses, tax forms, health coverage, proof of address, warranties, or deeds: each document can stay independent and easy to find.
Scanning does not replace originals when the law requires them.
Freelancers, craftspeople, shop owners, real-estate agents, managers, architects, lawyers, notaries, accountants, offices, associations, landlords, or short-term rentals: when several independent documents must be handled in a row, continuous multi-PDF avoids restarting a session for each one.
Rental agreements, inspection reports, invoices, certificates, inventories, guest documents, maintenance records and supporting documents can all live in one PDF that you update throughout the stay or the life of the property. Scantivo does not claim to provide legal compliance.
Warranties, diplomas, school papers, booklets, insurance, home documents, manuals, letters, family records.
Reopen it. Add new pages. Keep it alive.
With Scantivo, an existing PDF can become a living document.
Reopen it days, weeks, or months later, scan new pages, and add them to the same file.
Like a paper binder. But digital.
To the best of our knowledge, Scantivo Pulse is the first private PDF revision tracking system built into a mobile scanning app.*
A corrected quote. A completed inspection report. A new supporting document added. When a new Scantivo revision arrives in a folder you follow, Pulse notifies you automatically.
No Scantivo account. No recipients to add in Scantivo. Most importantly, the PDF, its name, its path and its contents are never sent to Scantivo.
Tracking between iPhone and iPad with a compatible iCloud Drive folder, or between Android devices with a compatible Google Drive folder.
Only two paths are guaranteed: Apple to Apple with iCloud Drive, and Android to Android with Google Drive. No Apple-to-Android tracking through the same folder.
Try Scantivo Pulse for 14 days, then keep it with Scantivo Unlimited.
Scantivo Pulse — the first private PDF revision tracking in a mobile scanner.*
There is no need to resend the document manually or wonder whether everyone has the right version. The document’s pseudonymous identity stays attached to the PDF, allowing Pulse to recognise each new revision published by Scantivo.
Each person enables Pulse only for the folders that concern them. The document continues to be synchronised by the compatible storage service the users have already chosen.
Scantivo does not host or synchronise the PDF. The signal used to trigger the alert contains no file, name, path, page, text or image.
Your document circulates. Its contents stay private.
Scanning a document is no longer the final step. With Scantivo Pulse, the PDF can keep evolving — and the people concerned know about it.
A useful document also needs to be filed, searched, renamed, completed, and shared.
The Scantivo library lets you save PDFs, rename them, organize them, select several, add pages, edit a document, and share it. Search by name is available in the free version. With Scantivo Unlimited, local content search also finds words, numbers, and amounts—for example “59.85” in a receipt or invoice.
With Scantivo Unlimited, the PDF name is generated automatically in the background from document analysis. Without Unlimited, a generic name is assigned and the PDF can then be renamed manually in the library.
One library across your devices — Library Sync keeps your PDFs and their saved changes up to date between an iPhone and iPad, or between Android devices, without creating a Scantivo account. Available during the optional 14-day trial, then reserved for Scantivo Unlimited. Outside the trial, the free version includes neither full backup nor Library Sync.
The same private library and PDF tools, with more room to browse and organize your documents.
In PDF preview, open “Adjust corners”. Move a corner handle to correct one corner, or a side handle to shape a curved or uneven edge locally. Only the handle you touch moves, preserving the other framing points.
Practical editing tools—only the ones that are actually available.
Fix a page’s orientation in one gesture.
Put pages back in the right order.
Enrich a document during or after the session.
Place a page into an existing PDF.
Create a new PDF from a page.
Remove pages you don’t need.
Send the pages you select.
Give each page a clear title so you can identify its content at a glance.
Give the full PDF file a clear name.
Find a PDF by its name and, with Scantivo Unlimited, by words, numbers, or amounts inside its content.
Photo mode lets you freely capture the full camera image, with no document detection, cropping, or perspective correction. The photo can create a new PDF or be added directly to an existing PDF with “Add Pages”.
Scantivo Pulse alerts you when a new revision published by Scantivo arrives in a followed folder. Tracking works between iPhone and iPad with a compatible iCloud Drive folder, or between Android devices with a compatible Google Drive folder. Included during the 14-day trial, then reserved for Scantivo Unlimited.
Scantivo never requires an account and does not store your library on its own servers. You decide where to keep your backup. No ads. No tracking.
No Scantivo cloud is imposed: if you choose a remote location via Files, that is only at your initiative. No ads. No marketing tracking.
Scantivo was designed as a modern, complete, and affordable PDF scanner—without burying you under useless steps. Continuous multi-PDF scanning essentials are available for free, with a limit of 15 PDFs per month. Scantivo Unlimited unlocks advanced tools with a one-time purchase—no subscription.

Removing these steps produces a measurable gain: view the timed ten-PDF test.
Traditional scan apps know how to create multipage PDFs. Scantivo introduces a different workflow: create several distinct PDFs in one continuous session, without returning to the library between documents.
It can be an alternative for people who mainly want a continuous multi-PDF workflow, direct organization, and fewer interruptions between documents.
We wanted to remove the interruptions that have shaped mobile scanning for years.
Because a good tool shouldn’t force you to think about the tool. It should simply follow your pace.
You scan. You separate. You continue.
You scan. You separate. You continue.
Clear answers about continuous multi-PDF scanning, living PDFs, privacy, and Unlimited.
A continuous Multi-PDF scanner creates multiple standalone PDFs in one session. With Scantivo, each PDF saves in the background while the camera stays open for the next document.
A multipage PDF combines several pages into one file. Continuous Multi-PDF creates separate PDF files one after another without closing the camera between documents.
Yes. Scantivo creates multiple standalone PDFs in one session without returning to the menu or library between documents.
Scan the pages of the first document, create its PDF, then continue straight to the next one. The file saves in the background and the scanning session stays open.
Line up your documents, open the scanner, and keep the same rhythm: scan, create the PDF, continue. You stay in one flow from the first sheet to the last. The speed comes less from flashier capture and more from removing the save-leave-relaunch loop between documents.
Because most lost time sits between documents: save, leave, return, relaunch. Removing those returns makes the workflow more direct and fluid. Capture itself may feel familiar; the real gain is keeping the camera open and moving from one finished PDF to the next without breaking concentration.
Yes. The PDF saves in the background, the camera stays open, and you can start the next document immediately.
Treat each document as its own unit: scan its pages, finalize its PDF, then move on. Every file stays independent. That is useful when invoices, receipts, or contracts must remain separate for filing, sharing, or accounting—rather than ending up as pages inside one mixed multipage PDF.
Keep the stack in front of you and advance document by document in the same session. Each finalization produces a distinct PDF ready to file. You transform a pile into separate files without restarting capture, returning to the library, or merging unrelated papers into one oversized document.
Yes. Reopen the PDF and use “Add Pages”. Document mode is available; Photo mode is available during the trial within the global allowance of 3 Photo pages saved in total across the 14 days and across all PDFs, or without limits with Scantivo Unlimited.
A living PDF is a file you can complete over time: reopen it later, scan new pages, and add them to the same document, like a digital binder. Instead of freezing a file on the day you create it, you keep one evolving PDF that stays organized as new paper arrives.
Create one PDF per subject or chapter, then add new sheets over the weeks. The same file grows with your year. When a lecture handout or homework page appears, reopen the existing course PDF and append the scan instead of starting a disconnected new document each time.
Create a “My recipes” PDF, add sheets over time, then label each page—for example “Tiramisu”, “Lasagna”, or “Lemon tart”. You can edit those labels and rename the full PDF. Then find the document by name, or search a word in the content with Scantivo Unlimited.
By creating independent PDFs and filing them in the Scantivo library. With Scantivo Unlimited, the name is generated automatically in the background from document analysis; without Unlimited, a generic name is assigned and can be renamed manually in the library.
Use search by name (free) to find a PDF such as “My recipes”, or search inside PDF content (Scantivo Unlimited) for a word on a page, like “mascarpone” or “béchamel”. Content search runs locally on the device.
Yes. Invoices, receipts, tickets, and proofs are especially well suited to continuous multi-PDF: one file per document, without restarting a session each time. That keeps expense items, accounting packets, and archives cleaner than mixing every receipt into a single multipage PDF.
Yes, whenever several independent documents must be handled in a row—freelancers, craftspeople, offices, liberal professions, associations, or property management. It remains a scanning tool, not accounting software and not an archive with legal evidentiary value. The benefit is workflow continuity, not specialized compliance claims.
Yes. The workflow follows the natural order of your documents: scan, create the PDF, continue — with almost no handling between two documents.
It offers a modern, accessible PDF scanner: continuous scanning essentials are free within the app’s limit of 15 PDFs per month, and advanced tools come through a one-time Unlimited purchase with no subscription. You get a premium flow without being pushed into recurring billing for the core experience.
Processing happens on the device. No account is required, and the library is not stored on Scantivo servers. Any transfer to a remote location is your choice. Auto-rename, content search, and backup are designed to run locally, with no imposed Scantivo cloud.
Yes. Scantivo is designed for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
It can be an alternative if you mainly want a continuous multi-PDF workflow and fewer interruptions between documents. It does not claim to be better on every criterion of every app. Compare on the real differentiator: multiple independent PDFs in one camera session, not a laundry list of unrelated features.
Yes. Scantivo Unlimited lets you rotate, reorder, add, extract, delete, and share pages, and add a page into another existing PDF.
A classic scanner is often built around one document at a time. This product is built for stacks: multiple independent PDFs, one session, camera open, rhythm preserved. The difference is the workflow between documents, not just sharper capture of a single page.
Yes. With Scantivo Unlimited, you can assign a label to a page so its content is clear at a glance—for example “Tiramisu”, “Lasagna”, or “Lemon tart” in a recipes PDF. The label can then be edited or cleared from the page management tools.
Yes. Content search lets you find a recipe from a word on the page, such as “mascarpone” or “béchamel”. That search runs locally on the device and is part of Scantivo Unlimited. Search by PDF name remains available for free.
The PDF name identifies the whole document—for example “My recipes”. The label identifies a specific page inside the file—for example “Tiramisu” or “Lasagna”. They are two separate functions.
Yes. With Scantivo Unlimited, content search can find a number or amount recognized on a page. Searching for “59.85” can therefore return both the Horizon Marché receipt and invoice. Analysis runs locally on the device.
Document mode detects paper with the purple frame, can capture automatically when stable or manually, then crops and corrects perspective. Photo mode captures the camera’s full image only when you press the shutter, with no document detection, purple frame, cropping, or perspective correction.
No. Photo mode takes a photo directly with the camera. It is available in the main scanner and in “Add Pages”. It is locked in Free, limited to 3 Photo pages saved in total across the entire trial and across all PDFs, and unlimited with Scantivo Unlimited.
Yes. Open the PDF, choose “Add Pages”, then select Photo mode. The camera manually captures the full image without document detection or perspective correction and adds it to the PDF. During the trial, the global limit is 3 Photo pages saved in total across all PDFs; Unlimited removes this limit.
Open the PDF, display the page you want to correct, then choose “Adjust corners”. Four corner handles correct the corners and four side handles shape curved or uneven edges locally. You can also run automatic edge detection again or return to the previous framing.
Scantivo Pulse is Scantivo’s private PDF revision-tracking system. Each person chooses a compatible folder to follow on their own device. When the storage service synchronises a new revision published by Scantivo into that folder, Pulse alerts them.
A pseudonymous document identity remains attached to the PDF. When a new revision published by Scantivo reaches a followed compatible folder, Pulse recognises that identity and can trigger an alert. It does not claim to monitor every change made by other apps.
Only new revisions published by Scantivo are announced, for example after correcting a PDF or adding a page in Scantivo. An arbitrary change made by another app is not presented as a compatible trigger.
Only people who have enabled Pulse themselves for the relevant compatible folder can receive the alert. Scantivo creates no recipient list and does not notify anyone who has not chosen to follow that folder.
No. Scantivo Pulse works without a Scantivo account and without adding recipients in Scantivo. Each person chooses the compatible folders they want to follow.
Scantivo Pulse is included during the 14-day trial. The free version outside the trial does not include it. After the trial, Scantivo Pulse is available exclusively with Scantivo Unlimited.
No. Scantivo receives neither the PDF, its name, its path nor its contents. The signal used to trigger the alert contains no file, name, path, page, text or image. Neither Scantivo nor its developer can open your documents remotely.
The only guaranteed paths are Apple to Apple — between iPhone and iPad with a compatible iCloud Drive folder — and Android to Android with a compatible Google Drive folder. Apple-to-Android tracking through the same folder is not guaranteed. The selected service remains solely responsible for synchronisation under its own terms and privacy policy. Scantivo does not connect to your storage account.
To the best of our knowledge, this combination is a first in a mobile scanner: private PDF revision tracking, with no Scantivo account and without sending Scantivo the document, its name, its path or its contents. The claim is based on a competitive review completed on August 13, 2026.
No. Scantivo uses the private app space attached to the active iCloud account on Apple devices, or to the Google account you choose on Android. Scantivo does not create or operate a document account for you.
Yes, when both devices use the same iCloud account and Library Sync is enabled in Scantivo.
Yes, when the same Google account is authorized on both devices and Library Sync is enabled in Scantivo.
No. Apple synchronization and Android synchronization use separate private storage systems and do not exchange libraries with each other.
When Library Sync is enabled, the deletion is also synchronized to the other devices using that library. Scantivo asks you to confirm this behavior when you first enable synchronization.
Synchronization keeps the current library aligned between devices. Backup creates a restorable copy for recovery. Synchronization is not a replacement for backup.
Only during the optional 14-day trial. After that, Library Sync and full backup require Scantivo Unlimited. The free version outside the trial includes neither feature.
Scantivo turns a stack of documents into several distinct PDFs—organized and ready to use—without interrupting the scan.
Scan. Separate. Continue.
One session. Multiple PDFs. Zero interruption.
