Scan a document on iPhone

Scan a paper directly from your iPhone or iPad and file it in your vault in seconds.

Updated 19 June 2026

On iPhone and iPad, you do not need a scanner or a photo taken separately. Noryo includes document scanning: you capture your paper, the app straightens it and files it in your vault. Here is how to do it in seconds.

On iPhone and iPad

Scanning is available in the iOS app. On the web, you add your documents by file import.

  1. Open your vault

    From the app, go to the documents area.

  2. Start the scan

    Choose to add by scan. The camera opens to aim at your document.

  3. Frame the document

    Place the paper on a contrasting, well-lit surface. Let the app detect the edges, then confirm the capture.

  4. Add the following pages

    For a multi-page document, take captures one after another before finishing.

  5. Check and name

    Check legibility, give the document a clear name, and choose the destination folder.

  6. Enter an expiration date if useful

    For an ID document or a certificate, add the end date to take advantage of the validity badges.

  7. Save

    The document joins your vault, encrypted, and becomes searchable by its content on all your devices.

A good scan in three reflexes

A plain, dark background makes the paper stand out, daylight avoids reflections, and a steady device gives a sharp document. Three extra seconds at capture mean a more reliable search later.

Sensitive data

Check that the information is sharp and complete before saving, and file the document in the right folder to avoid misplacing it.

My scan is not going as planned?

What next?

Your scanned document behaves like any other document in the vault: you can share it in read-only mode, link it to a transaction, or find it through its content search. If you sometimes prefer to send a document by email, the vault also has a personal deposit address.

Another handy way to feed your vault.
