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 your PDFs 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 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 turn stacks into PDFs in seconds.

2) Make a PDF with your phone: Convert paper documents or printed images into PDFs or JPEGs with the mobile PDF and photo scanner.

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 image to text to make words in your scans searchable and editable with OCR.

6) 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.

Garbage page detection. App should be really good, but trying to scan multiple pages in a document wastes more time than it would save. The app searches for pages to scan but it will take basically anything: your hand, the floor, a blurry picture of a coffee mug... it snaps anything and moves to the next page. It ruins any document you're trying to scan by taking a bunch of useless pictures. If you can get it to actually take a picture of a page then it's great.

Hi there! Sorry for the trouble with page detection. We understand how frustrating that can be. The app uses auto-capture by default, which may misidentify objects. You can turn it off by tapping Autoscan (left of the capture button). Manual mode gives better control. We're working to improve detection. Thanks for your input! ^SS

Adobe PDF Scanner is simply fantastic. The scan quality is truly stunning, producing incredibly clear and crisp PDFs. Beyond just scanning, the app is loaded with editing options to refine your documents. Plus, the 2GB of free cloud backup is a huge bonus. If you need a PDF scanner, this is a must-have. Highly recommend!

I had dowloaded the app as it was free to use but when i tried to use it shows the 7 day trial options again and again. when i subscribed for 7 day trial, after that they automatically did the annual subscription on my account which i not even need and the customer service is so bad, i requested a refund and contacted them via email but did not get any response yet,its more than 10 days which is so frustrated as I did not know who told them to do annual subscription. Totally a garbage system.

Hi there! Sorry to hear that 😢. The free trial is only available with an annual plan, not a monthly plan. If you began a free trial, your payment method would be charged at the end unless you cancelled in time or have used the same account for a trial in the past. For more help, contact our support team at [adobe.ly/contactsupport]. Thanks! ^SS
