It’s tax season, which means a mountain of depressing paperwork.

I just processed all our tax documents, which meant scanning dozens of documents and receipts for our tax preparer.

I wish I’d used the SwiftScan VIP scanning app, which makes the process a breeze.

Just point your iPhone at a document, and it auto-captures it quickly and perfectly as a JPEG or PDF.

Better yet, SwiftScan VIP will convert your PDFs into fully searchable documents — a feature missing from many other scanning apps.

Uploading documents to online storage is a breeze, and it’ll recognize actionable elements like contacts, QR codes, barcodes, locations and websites. Plus, you can fax directly from the app.

SwiftScan VIP is so good, we named it one of our Awesome Apps — Cult of Mac’s ongoing collection of standout software.

And right now, it’s on sale at the best price you’ll find online.

Use your iPhone to scan and fax documents with this multipurpose scanning app

While the world is increasingly going digital, paper documents are still in use and need to be incorporated into your workflow. The SwiftScan VIP app bridges the gap between paper and digital by turning your iPhone into a convenient scanning and faxing multitool. And right now, it’s on sale at the best price you’ll find online.

SwiftScan VIP: Fax and scan app for iPhone

The SwiftScan app uses your iPhone’s camera to take photos of documents at a 200 dpi resolution or higher depending on your needs. Your scans can be saved as JPGs to save space for quick attachment to expense reports and emails, or as PDFs to incorporate into document designs and other high-quality publishing applications. (Cult of Mac named SwiftScan an “Awesome App” because of its PDF-handling capabilities.)

This powerful iPhone scanning app carefully enhances the images it captures. Automatic adjustments correct for color, remove blur, locate the image’s edges, crop out extraneous background details, and deal with other artifacts so you receive a crisp image every time. You can apply optical character recognition to any scan to make the text searchable. And automatic naming will add data like the date and location for easy organizing.

Multipage scans, auto-capture mode and more

SwiftScan also features a range of tools to quickly get work into the digital realm. Multipage scans let you turn a complex document into a single PDF. Auto-capture mode can quickly create a scan of a single document. The scanning app can automatically read QR codes and barcodes in the document, too.

SwiftScan’s editing tools allow you to annotate, mark up, revise and redact content as needed. You can quickly reorder or remove pages for clarity, right on your touchscreen. And document sharing becomes dead simple. You can sync your scans to your current cloud service, send them out via email or chat, or even fax them.
