DocScan

DocScan turns your phone camera into a flatbed scanner. Point it at a page and you get back something that looks scanned — flat lighting, white paper, sharp text — not a photograph of paper with a shadow across it.

No account. No subscription. No watermark. Nothing is uploaded anywhere unless you choose a folder to back up to.

THREE LOOKS

Normal keeps true colour and removes the lighting.
Special exaggerates colour for maximum contrast, so faint print and coloured forms stand out.
Black & white uses adaptive thresholding tuned for text, with speckle removal, so pencil and faint ink survive instead of dissolving.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE EDITING

The corrected capture is kept as an immutable original. Whatever you choose — the look, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpening, ink strength — stays changeable later. Come back in a year and adjust it; nothing is baked in.

SEARCH INSIDE YOUR SCANS

Text recognition runs on the device with a bundled model, so it works with no signal and nothing is sent anywhere. Search finds words inside your documents and shows you the matching page.

FOLDERS

File documents into a folder tree you arrange. Rename, move, reorder pages, delete pages.

ID AND BANK CARDS

A dedicated mode captures both sides of a card and lays them on one sheet, cropped close and sized to real card dimensions — so printing gives a life-size copy, and the thumbnail actually shows the card.

PDF EXPORT AND SHARING

Export to PDF at A4 or at the scan's own size, choose resolution and margin, then share it anywhere. Page images are embedded directly with no re-encoding, so the file stays small and the quality is exactly what you saw.

BACKUP TO A FOLDER YOU CHOOSE

Pick any destination through Android's own folder picker — Google Drive, OneDrive, a network share, an SD card, internal storage. Your documents are mirrored there as PDFs you can open with anything, alongside the original captures and an index, so a new phone can rebuild the whole library: folders, page order, looks and recognised text included.

It is your folder and your account. There is no DocScan server, and there is no DocScan account to create.

PRIVACY

No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Documents never leave the device through Android's own backup or device-transfer either — that is switched off deliberately. Where a copy goes is your decision, made once in Settings.

Requires Android 8.0 or later.
