## Description

Simple Scanner turns your phone into a portable PDF document scanner. It lets you scan documents, photos, receipts, or reports and save them as high‑definition JPEG images or PDFs, with automatic edge detection, multiple image modes (color, grayscale, black and white), and OCR text recognition with export options.

You can organize scans with folders and tags, search by title, and share or back up across devices. Automatic cloud uploads to Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, and more, plus Wi‑Fi transfer to your computer, make it easy to access files anywhere. For security, you can password‑protect documents and set PDF page sizes.
