Everything on device
Scanning, filters and text recognition all run on your device. Nothing is processed elsewhere.
Priveo scans, recognises text, signs and exports to PDF, and strips the location and hidden data from your photos and PDFs before you share them. All inside your device: no account, no ads and not a single server in between.
Why it is different
Most scanners upload your documents to the cloud to process them. Priveo cannot: there is nowhere to send them.
Scanning, filters and text recognition all run on your device. Nothing is processed elsewhere.
The app makes no network connections at all. There is no backend to send anything to, not even by mistake.
iOS file encryption, excluded from backups, and permanently deleted when you uninstall.
New · Remove metadata
A phone photo stores where it was taken, on which device and at what exact time, and a PDF carries the name of whoever wrote it. Priveo shows you everything they contain and gives you a copy without it before you share.
Location, date, camera, author, software, AI origin: one checkbox per group, or everything at once.
JPEG, HEIC and PNG photos aren't recompressed: the copy is pixel-identical, HDR included.
Author, apps, dates, comments and the location of the photos inside the PDF.
Share → Remove metadata, and the clean copy goes back to your library without opening Priveo.
Every copy is analysed again. If anything you asked to remove were left, it isn't saved.
AI labels and Content Credentials (C2PA) are metadata and are removed like the rest. The invisible watermarks some generators put in the pixels are not, and Priveo leaves them alone.
What it does
Every feature you would expect from a paid app, with no subscription and nothing held back.
Automatic edge detection and perspective correction, using the native iOS scanner.
On-device OCR in ten languages: find any document by its content and export it as plain text.
Draw your signature, apply it to any page, and keep it encrypted for reuse.
Pick a compression level or set a maximum size so it fits in any email.
Protect the document before sharing it. The password is not stored anywhere.
Optional. Authentication is handled by iOS: the app never sees your biometric data.
Commitment
“Priveo does not collect, transmit or sell your documents.”
Support
I maintain Priveo myself. If you hit a bug, miss a feature or just have a question, write to me and I will reply personally.
You can write to me in English or Spanish.
I only use what you write here to reply to you. The app itself collects nothing — details in the privacy policy.
