Digitize your most-used documents

Take your most important documents with you, no matter where life leads. With the smart cam scanner in your pocket, you no longer need to carry around your ID, passport, or driver's license. Use your smartphone's camera and scan to PDF in a snap.

Convert documents to a variety of file formats

airScan is more than just a PDF-scanner. It has a built-in file converter so you can easily turn your most-used documents, from contracts to business letters and invoices, into PDFs, DOCS XLS spreadsheets, or PPT presentations — all with one app. Scan to PDF free and then get your document in the format you need.

Create pixel-perfect scans

Produce document scans that look like they were printed from a doc. Make dull scans more vibrant and easier to read with a few simple tweaks. Adjust the contrast and brightness levels, and add some black or white colors with filters to make your document scan ready for sharing.

You can also clean up any unwanted text or shadows that might be lingering in the background — just crop them away until you have exactly what you need.

Leverage automated text recognition

airScan recognizes text to give you even more flexibility with your scannable document. Once the text is recognized, select specific paragraphs or copy an entire page and paste it into another document. You can also send out your scan as is in just a few taps.

Sign documents in a snap

Skip the endless hassle of printing, signing, and scanning documents. airScan acts as a PDF signer, allowing you to add personalized, legally-binding eSignatures to your documents. Simply draw your signature on your device’s screen and add it anywhere on a document with a single tap.

Send documents via email

Our paper scanner makes document sharing a breeze. When you’ve finished making edits, email your scan without having to switch apps. Your recipients will get a high-quality PDF that they can start working on in seconds.

Print out your scans without the back and forth

Need a hard copy fast? No problem. Now you can print your docu scan right from our camscanner app with a few quick taps. Sign off on your scan before printing and it's good to go.
