Adobe Scan

Adobe Scan transforms your Android device into a portable document scanner, letting you capture physical documents and convert them into digital files you can access anytime. Designed for professionals, students, and anyone who needs to organize paperwork, this app makes it simple to build a searchable library of important records without the clutter of physical storage.

Capture any document with automatic edge detection and perspective correction. Point your camera at a receipt, business card, whiteboard, handwritten note, contract, or form, and the app detects the document boundaries in real time, automatically cropping and straightening the result. The built-in enhancement tools adjust contrast and remove shadows, producing clean, legible scans even from crumpled or poorly lit originals. If a page doesn't come out right, rescan just that section without starting over.

Extract and edit text from your scans using advanced OCR technology. The app recognizes text in multiple languages and converts it into editable, searchable content. This means you can copy passages between documents, search for specific words within a scan, or pull quotes from contracts and books without retyping. For anyone working with notes, invoices, agreements, or reference materials, this feature cuts research time significantly.

Refine and organize your documents with integrated editing tools. Rotate pages to the correct orientation, crop to remove unwanted areas, rearrange the order of pages in multi-page PDFs, and adjust colors for better readability. You can also annotate scans by underlining text, highlighting sections, and adding notes directly to the document. These tools let you mark up and customize scans to match your workflow.

Adobe Scan integrates seamlessly with other Adobe apps, so your scans sync across your Creative Cloud account and connect with tools you already use. The app works offline, so you can scan anywhere—in meetings, on site, in the field—and your documents stay secure on your device.
