Kaagaz PDF Scanner & Compress is an iPhone document app from Ordenado Labs Private Limited, listed on the App Store as a free productivity app and designed for iPhone. It is aimed at people who scan notes, assignments, invoices, insurance papers, IDs, and other everyday documents on a phone rather than a desktop. Kaagaz says it combines scanning, PDF reading, PDF editing, document management, and cloud storage in one app. It is associated with Y Combinator’s Winter 2022 batch.

The core workflow is simple: scan a document with the camera, crop the edges, adjust filters, and save or share the result as a PDF or image. Kaagaz says it includes auto edge detection, image enhancement filters, brightness and contrast controls, PDF merge and split tools, and a document manager with folders and search. The company site also says the app can work offline, and that cloud-stored documents are encrypted on secure servers in India. Sources: company site and App Store. (kaagaz.app; apps.apple.com)
Kaagaz also targets users who need to organize and move paperwork beyond basic scanning. The App Store description says users can upload documents to online drives such as Google Drive and Dropbox, apply custom watermarks, convert PDF to JPG or JPG to PDF, and compress PDF files. The company site describes a broader “document super app” that also includes a PDF reader and cloud backup. Sources: App Store and company site. (apps.apple.com; kaagaz.app)
To get it, open the App Store listing for Kaagaz PDF Scanner & Compress and install it on an iPhone running iOS 15.0 or later. The app is free, with in-app purchases that include 1 GB of cloud storage and unlimited PDF tools usage. A practical limitation is that some document organization features, including the nested folder structure and web access to PDFs, are tied to the premium subscription. Sources: App Store.
