About this app

Get straight scans every time.


The new Straighten tool fixes pages that come out curved or tilted while you scan. It lines everything up automatically so when you make PDFs, they look neat and professional, with no extra steps needed.

The document scanner in your pocket.


Adobe Scan is free to download and turns your mobile device into a powerful PDF maker and document scanner that helps you create, save, and organize your paper documents as digital files.

6 WAYS TO USE ADOBE SCAN


1) Save time with a fast document scanner: Use High-speed scan to bulk scan documents and make PDFs in seconds.

2) A PDF maker on your phone: Convert paper documents or printed images into PDFs or JPEGs with the mobile PDF and photo scanner app.

3) Ask AI Assistant to pull the key points from any scan, get follow-up answers or draft emails, reports, and next steps from your scan.

4) Use Generative summary: One tap pulls the key points from any scan, so you can find what matters and summarize your docs in a tap with AI.

5) Turn images to text: Use the image-to-text feature to make words in your scans searchable and editable with OCR.

HELP! I have been using this app for almost 10 years and it has been getting consistently better. After an update, when I want to scan a document with my mobile phone I click on the camera button - a bunch of other options that don't really go with a mobile scanner which is primarily used for receipts, copies of short documents etc. if you want to offer other options create a menu- don't mess up the clean system it was.

There is no way to choose a directory of documents to scan. You have to wait for the app to scan your entire device storage for eligible files before choosing the document or documents that you want to convert, an excruciatingly slow process. Also, the app doesn't recognize PDF files in which text is embedded in graphic format, such as JPEG. How useless is that? Not happy.

To assist our developers in investigating this further, could you please share a screen recording of the issue at Grp-adobescan-android@adobe.com?

Best mobile office app. Working for the court system, I don't always have the time to go to my office and scan documents. Adobe Scan makes my job more efficient and effective in scanning, editing, and combining files to get them to where they need to be. Other scanner apps that I have tried were not high-quality as Adobe. The images were blurry and dark. Some didn't offer features to work with, such as editing. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone.
