Smart Scanner is a fast, private document scanner and PDF maker that runs entirely on your phone. Point your camera, capture, and share a polished scan. No account, no uploads, nothing leaves your device.

📄 Document scanner and scan to PDF
Point your camera at any document and Smart Scanner automatically detects the edges and applies perspective correction for a straight, professional scan. Turn contracts, receipts, letters, notes, forms, and homework into crisp PDF files with this easy document scanner.

🔍 On-device OCR text recognition
Built-in OCR (optical character recognition) reads printed text directly from your scans. Extract text, copy it, and share it with a tap. The text recognition runs with on-device machine learning, so this text scanner works fully offline.

✨ Searchable PDF export
Export PDFs with a hidden OCR text layer, so every PDF is text-searchable and selectable in any PDF reader. Find words inside your scanned documents just like a normal digital file — a searchable PDF feature many scanner apps put behind a paywall.

🪪 ID card scan mode
Scan the front and back of an ID card, license, or any two-sided card and merge both sides onto a single A4 page, ready to print or share as one PDF. A quick, dedicated ID card scanner built right in.

📚 Multi-page batch scanning
Scan many pages in one session with the batch draft workflow: capture page after page, review your draft, remove any pages you don't want, then finalize everything into one multi-page PDF document.

✍️ Sign and annotate
Add a handwritten signature or a text watermark to your documents. Move, resize, and rotate annotations to place them exactly where you need them.

🗂️ Organize and share
Rename, delete, and manage all your scanned documents in one place. Share any document as a PDF by email, messaging, or your favorite cloud apps.

🌙 Dark mode
A comfortable dark theme for scanning day or night.

🔒 Private and offline
Smart Scanner processes everything on your device. No account, no sign-up, and nothing leaves your phone, so your documents stay private, even in airplane mode.
