About Document Scanner: PDF & OCR
Honest PDF Scanner turns paper into clean, searchable PDFs. Point the camera and Google's on-device document scanner finds the edges, fixes the perspective and captures several pages in a row. Every PDF is exported without a watermark, and you don't need an account.
Your old scanner app was retired, or started asking for a sign-in and a subscription? This one keeps the basics free: scan, save, share. Your documents stay on your phone.
SCAN
• Automatic edge detection, perspective correction and multi-page capture
• Eight filters with live previews: Auto, Original, Grayscale and B&W, plus Lighten, Magic Color, Magic B&W and Whiteboard in Pro
• Filters never stack: each one starts again from the original photo
• Crop, rotate, reorder and delete pages after scanning
• A "New scan" shortcut on the app icon
SEARCHABLE PDF WITH OCR
• Text recognition runs on your device when you save, and the PDF gets an invisible text layer, so you can search and copy text in any PDF viewer
• Documents are named automatically from their first line of text
• Copy the recognized text or export it as .txt or Word (.docx), for one document or several at once
• Text recognition supports languages written in the Latin alphabet
PDF TOOLS
• Image to PDF, including images shared from other apps
• PDF to image (PNG)
• Compress a PDF with three quality levels
• Merge PDFs and split a PDF into parts
• Page size: original, A4, Letter or Legal
YOUR FILES
• Scans are stored on your device; search and sort your documents
• Share one document or several at once
• Light, dark or system theme
ADS AND PRO
The app is free to use and shows ads. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it removes the ads, unlocks the four advanced filters and lets you protect PDFs with a password.
