One document pipeline
Everything needed between the scanner glass and a trustworthy file
A recoverable page workspace
Reorder a multi-selection by drag or keyboard, rotate, duplicate, reverse, interleave, and retain 60 persistent undo steps.
Professional cleanup
Deskew, crop white margins, clean paper backgrounds, remove punch holes, dark borders, and halftone patterns with cancellable previews.
Ten-language local OCR
Bundle English, Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian recognition without an upload or account.
Searchable, archival, or protected PDF
Create searchable PDF, verified PDF/A-3u, or AES-256 encrypted PDF with permissions, Unicode metadata, and annotations.
Profiles and automation
Save DPAPI-protected .uvprofile settings, .uvscan projects, atomic CLI workflows, cancellation files, and transactional concurrent output.
A workflow that stays inspectable
Acquire, correct, verify, then deliver.
Every destructive-looking action happens inside the workspace. Originals remain untouched, long operations are cancellable, and the final file is written atomically.
