ScanSki

by DJ Jetski · for macOS

Phone photo in. Clean scan out.

ScanSki turns the photos of letters, forms and receipts that are already on your Mac into clean, true-size, searchable PDFs. Right-click the photos in the Finder and choose Scan to PDF. No second scan with the phone, no app to open, nothing to import.

Before / after

Phone photo of a folded letter, tilted on a wooden table — The photo on your Mac

The same letter as a straight, white, searchable A4 scan — After Scan to PDF

Sample letter is fictitious; the right side is real ScanSki output.

What it does

Straight and upright

Finds the sheet, corrects tilt and perspective, and turns sideways or upside-down shots upright.

Like a flatbed scan

Removes the table, shadows, flash glare and fold lines, while faint print stays readable.

True size, searchable

A4 pages at real size with an invisible text layer, so you can search and copy the text.

Many photos, one PDF

Select several photos and get one multi-page PDF in natural name order, next to the first photo.

Stays on your Mac

Runs locally on Apple's own frameworks. No cloud, no account, no subscription, no tracking.

Your files

HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and existing scan PDFs. Originals stay untouched, nothing is overwritten.

Install

Buy ScanSki and download ScanSki-0.5.0.pkg.
Open the installer. It is signed and notarized by Apple.
Right-click photos in the Finder → Scan to PDF. Nothing to switch on.

Honest limits: strongly curled pages stay a little wavy, fully blown-out flash glare cannot be restored, and a page that is cut off in the photo stays cut off (ScanSki warns). Photograph book spreads one page at a time. Original DNG/ProRAW files are not supported; their JPEG exports are.

To remove ScanSki, open the ScanSki app and choose Uninstall…. Questions: support@djjetski.com.
