Using Iphone as Scanner

I use the Scan Document tool in Notes and have the images....but now what? How exactly do you export that to email or save it to a file? Also, I don't seem to have the editing apps in Notes or in the image that others have discussed I have an I-Phone 13.

Editing txt files on my new iPhone 16 I transferred a number of notes stored as “.txt” files into my new iPhone 16 from my old android phone. I went to a lot of trouble to save in a simple, universal format that anything can read and edit. the user guide says if I select the file the menu will offer a choice to export the file to a different format, but there’s no such choice on the menu. how do I edit simple text notes?

Scanning large coloring book page spreads with iPhone What is the easiest way to scan finished page spreads of a coloring book? It's too big for my scanner. I've been using the Notes function to scan each page spread with my iPhone, but then getting the image out of the note file and saving it as a png on my Mac is a pain (or maybe I'm doing it wrong). Is there a better, easier way, maybe even with better image quality? Right now I have a file folder full of the png files, but the aim is to combine them into, say, a pdf when I'm done. Thank you!

From the document within Notes, tap on "Scanned Documents":

Then choose "Share" from the resulting drop-down:

Scanned documents in the Notes app are saved as PDF file(s) within the note.

But how do I move that file onto my computer? I'm sure this is simple but hey I'm 59 and just trying to get some basics down. I appreciate your help.

Careful! I don't know exactly where you see "Save", but you may well be saving the note which contains the scan and not the scan itself.
