About Document Scanner: OCR & PDF
📄 PDF Scanner is the all-in-one document scanner, OCR reader and PDF toolkit for Android: scan paper with your camera, extract text with local OCR, read PDFs comfortably, convert Office files, merge, compress, sign and protect documents - with no watermark, no account and no internet.
Unlike other scanner apps, PDF Scanner NEVER stamps advertising watermarks on your pages, NEVER asks you to sign up and NEVER uploads your files to cloud servers. Everything is processed 100% locally on your own device.
🚀 KEY FEATURES
📷 PRECISION CAMERA SCANNER
• Guided framing and manual crop with corner handles: you decide exactly where the page ends, with no erratic auto-crop.
• On-device OCR text recognition: extract text with Google ML Kit to create searchable PDFs or copy to TXT. Not supported: Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Thai text.
• Enhance, grayscale and adaptive black & white filters for clean, high-contrast, readable scans.
• Continuous multi-page batch scanning: contracts, receipts, ID cards, notes or books in one pass.
• Export to print-ready A4/Letter PDF at up to 300 DPI, with zero watermark on any page.
📖 COMFORTABLE PDF READER
• Reflow reading mode: the text reflows to your screen width, so you never scroll sideways again.
• Night mode, warm sepia tone and light theme for long reading sessions.
• Instant full-text search, page thumbnails, jump-to-page and adjustable text size.
• True vector rendering that stays razor sharp at any zoom level.
🛠️ COMPLETE PDF TOOLKIT
• Merge & Split: combine multiple files into one ordered PDF or extract pages as PNG images.
• Office & File Converter: turn images (JPG, PNG) into PDF pages, and the text of Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), TXT, HTML and CSV files into a clean PDF (Office layout and pictures are not kept).
• Compress PDF: recompress the images inside your PDFs to shrink scans and photo-heavy files while the text stays sharp.
• Sign, Annotate & Fill Forms: draw your signature with your finger, add text boxes and complete forms.
• Redact & Blackout: find emails and phone numbers and cover them permanently before sharing. Redaction needs a PDF with a text layer; scanned PDFs without text cannot be redacted.
• Password & Biometric Lock: encrypt confidential PDFs with AES-256 passwords (your first protected PDF is free, then PRO) and lock the app with fingerprint or PIN.
• Contents & Bookmarks: detect headings and save an editable table of contents into any PDF.
🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% offline: documents never leave your phone or tablet.
• No account, no login, no tracking of what you scan or read.
• Android's secure file picker (SAF) instead of broad storage permissions.
• No ads.
🎓 MADE FOR EVERYDAY PAPERWORK
• Students: scan lecture notes and textbook pages, then read them in reflow mode.
• Freelancers and small business: scan invoices, receipts and expenses for your accountant.
• Home office: sign contracts and NDAs without a printer or a scanner.
• Travel and admin: scan your ID card, passport or forms and keep them on your phone, never in the cloud.
💎 HONEST PRICING
• No predatory weekly subscription. Cheap monthly plan, yearly plan with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime license.
• The free version has no watermark either and its scans already come out searchable: every day it includes 3 scans and 3 image-to-PDF conversions, and your first password-protected PDF is free. PRO lifts the daily limits and adds OCR for existing PDFs, unlimited password protection, PDF unlock, summaries, questions and read-aloud. Free daily limits also apply to signing (1 per day) and merging (2 per day).
