What’s new

Version 1.1.3 · Updated August 5, 2026

Faster, lighter, and a lot more honest about what CleanScan can already do. - Fixed a memory issue that could cause the app to quit while browsing many scanned documents. - Rebuilt PDF export — large documents are now processed page by page and use far less memory. - Export now shows page-by-page progress. - Ads retry automatically after a poor connection instead of staying blank. - Corrected the privacy wording on the About screen: CleanScan shows non-personalised ads only, never asks to track you, and does not use an advertising identifier. - Fixed a layout issue on narrow screens. - Tidied up the tools menu.
