About DocuScanr: Private PDF Scanner
Most scanner apps send your documents to their servers, require a login, bury you in ads, or charge a subscription forever. DocuScanr does none of that. Your tax forms, medical records, ID cards, and receipts never leave your phone.
Microsoft Lens has been retired. If you are looking for a Microsoft Lens alternative, DocuScanr is a private, on-device replacement: free scanning, no watermarks, no account, and your documents never leave your phone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Documents encrypted on your device (AES-256, hardware-backed keys)
• No account, no sign-in, no cloud; your scans can't leave unless you export them
• Zero network traffic in normal use: measured, not just promised
• No ads, no trackers, no watermarks
• Recovery key so you never lose access, without trusting a server
• Optional app lock (PIN / fingerprint) and screenshot protection
WORKS OFFLINE
DocuScanr is an offline document scanner. Scanning, filters, OCR, and export all run on your phone, with no internet connection required. Scan documents offline on a plane, at the cabin, or anywhere without signal; nothing waits on an upload, because nothing is uploaded.
SCAN ANYTHING TO PDF
• Scan to PDF in seconds: automatic edge detection and perspective correction
• Auto-capture: hold steady and it shoots
• Scan receipts, ID cards, contracts, letters, and whiteboards
• Multi-page documents: combine scans into one PDF, reorder and edit pages
• Import photos and PDFs from your gallery or other apps
• Clean filters: Auto, Color, Grayscale
SEND SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS SAFELY
Scan a tax form, password-protect the PDF, and email it to your accountant: the exported file is encrypted with a password you set, and the original never leaves your phone. Fill and sign forms without printing: import a PDF, type your answers, and place your saved signature. (Pro)
MADE FOR REAL PAPERWORK
Scan documents to PDF for taxes, insurance claims, school forms, and expense reports. Digitize a filing cabinet one folder at a time, keep a secure document scanner in your pocket for new mail, and find old receipts by their text when you need them again.
FIND AND ORGANIZE
• On-device text recognition (OCR): search inside your scans, locally and free
• Folders, rename, and full-text search
• Export as PDF, JPEG, or PNG, with size presets that fit email
PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
DocuScanr is free to use for everyday scanning. A one-time Pro purchase (no subscription, ever) unlocks batch scanning, the high-contrast B&W filter, auto-OCR, tags, watermarks, password-protected exports, and more. Buy it once, own it forever. No trial that quietly converts into a charge, no recurring fee to remember to cancel.
Pro features:
• Fill and sign: import a PDF form, type into it, add your signature
• Password-protected PDF and ZIP export (AES-256)
• Import password-protected PDFs and encrypted ZIPs
• Batch scanning and multi-select import
• Black & white document filter
• Auto-OCR on save + search across all your documents
• Annotate, sign, and redact
• Tags and watermarks
Whether you need a receipt scanner for expense reports, a private PDF scanner for contracts, or a document scanner app for the family paperwork drawer, DocuScanr handles it without ever phoning home.
No subscription. No account. No cloud. No ads. Just a private scanner app that respects your privacy.
What’s new
Version 1.34.0 · Updated October 16, 2026
• New Clear filter (Pro): the paper turns white, what shows through from the back of thin pages disappears, text gets darker and red and blue ink stays bright. Handwritten notes on thin paper come out like a clean copy, and small print stays readable. • Clear sits second in the filter strip, next to B&W. To use it on every scan, choose it in Settings under Default Filter. Clear works entirely on your device.
