update: The new Digitize tool lets you scan handwritten notes and whiteboards into editable, searchable documents that look digitally created. \n\nAdobe Scan is free to download and turns your mobile device into a powerful PDF and document scanner that helps you create, save, and organize your paper documents as digital files.\n\n6 WAYS TO USE ADOBE SCAN\n1) Save time with a fast document scanner: Use High-speed scan to bulk scan documents and turn stacks into PDFs in seconds.\n\n2) Clean up scans with Magic eraser: Auto-detect and remove thumbs, shadows, stains and creases so your document scans look clear and professional.\n\n3) Make a PDF with your phone: Convert paper documents or printed images into PDFs or JPEGs with the mobile PDF and photo scanner.\n\n4) Use the Extract pages tool to choose the pages you need from any multi-page scan and save them as a new PDF.\n\n5) Turn images to text: Use the image-to-text feature to make words in your scans searchable and editable with OCR.\n\n6) Scan anything: Receipts, IDs, notes, recipes, photos, business cards, whiteboards – scan documents into PDF or JPEG files you can work with on your phone, tablet, or computer.\n\nCAPTURE WITH PRECISION\n• The Straighten tool fixes pages that come out curved or tilted while you scan, even if all four corners aren’t visible in the scan.\n• Advanced scanning technology detects borders, sharpens content, and makes your scans editable and searchable.\n\nENHANCE YOUR SCANS\n• Edit in text lets you scan words, and handwritten text, to make it editable.\n• The Modify tool helps you crop, rotate, resize, and adjust colors in your scans.\n• Reorder pages and preview before saving.\n• Adjust the brightness and contrast of your scans in just a few taps.\n\nORGANIZE YOUR DOCUMENTS\n• Scan paperwork and create custom folders for work documents, personal files, school forms, or ID scans.\n• Contact details are pulled straight from business cards so you can save them to your phone contacts in seconds.\n• Scans are automatically saved to Adobe Document Cloud for instant access and sharing.\n• Set a password to keep that important scan secure while you send it.\n\nSMART LIBRARY\n• This powerful doc scanner finds documents and receipts in your photo library and turns them into PDFs.\n• Touch up scans or photos directly from your camera roll.\n\nREUSE & SHARE\n• Open PDFs directly in Adobe Scan, without leaving the app. Then use tools like Modify, Edit, and Share.\n• Make high-quality PDFs that unlock text from images – from scanned contracts to study notes – so you can copy, edit, and reuse.\n• Export your scans to Word, Excel, or PowerPoint for new formats, then share.\n\nDO MORE WITH ACROBAT READER\n• Open your PDF scan in Acrobat Reader to comment, highlight, fill forms, and sign documents.\n• Access and share securely across Scan, Reader, and Acrobat on web and mobile.\n\nIN-APP PURCHASE\n• Subscribe for even more scanning power. Subscriptions work across Scan and Reader mobile apps and Acrobat on the web.\n• Combine scans into one file so you can take multiple scans and consolidate into one document.\n• Increase OCR capacity from 5 to 100 pages so that you can find text in multiple images.\n\nDownload this free mobile scanner to convert important photos and documents into PDF and JPEG files to help you stay organized.
