    Transfer scans to desktop

    You can copy files from Scanner Pro to your computer using WebDav (wirelessly) or iTunes (with a USB cable).

    Jump to:

    Transfer scans wirelessly (via WebDAV)

    You can connect your iOS device to a desktop via WebDAV to transfer scans wirelessly:

    1. Make sure your iPhone or iPad and your desktop are connected to the same Wi-Fi.
    2. Open Scanner Pro > Settings.
    3. Make sure the Wi-Fi Access toggle is enabled. Under the Wi-Fi Access toggle, you'll see an IP address needed for the next step.
    4. Open the web browser on your computer. In the address bar, type the IP you see under the Wi-Fi Access toggle as URL http:// .

    A list of your scans' names will appear on the web page. To open a scan, click its name. Once the scan is loaded, you can download it by clicking the Save button.    

    Note: Wi-Fi Access connection will be lost once your device's screen is locked.
    Tip: You can also use AirDrop to quickly transfer files between iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers.

    Transfer scans using iTunes

    You can copy files between your computer and Scanner Pro on your iOS or iPadOS device using File Sharing.

    Note: If you're using macOS Catalina or later, use the Finder to share files between your computer and your iOS or iPadOS device instead of iTunes.

    How to use iTunes for file sharing

    1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    2. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using the USB cable that came with your device.
    3. Click your device in iTunes (under the top toolbar slider). 
    4. In the left sidebar, click File Sharing.
    5. Select Scanner Pro, then do one of the following:
    • To copy files from your computer to Scanner Pro, drag and drop files from a folder or window onto the Scanner Pro list.
    • To copy files from Scanner Pro to your computer, drag and drop files from the Scanner Pro list to a folder or window on your computer.

    Transfer scans using cloud services

    This is a great method for transferring many files at once, regardless of their size. All you need is a cloud storage account and Internet access on both devices. Even though iCloud is what a major part of iOS users are used to, it may not be the best option for cross-platform file sharing. You may find Dropbox, Google Drive, or Office 365 more convenient for this purpose. 

    For this method, follow these steps: 

    1. Launch Scanner Pro. 
    2. Go to Settings > Add Service. 
    3. Choose from the list of supported cloud services. 
    4. After the cloud service is added, open any scan > tap Export. 
    5. Choose the service you'd like to export it to. 
    6. On your desktop, open the cloud service app or website to view your scans. 

    You can also set up Auto Upload to the cloud service of your preference in the app's Settings as a part of the paid subscription plan.
