About this app

Turn your phone into a fast, private, and powerful portable document scanner with on-device OCR text recognition.

FreeScanner lets you scan documents, receipts, contracts, ID cards, notes, and books into crystal-clear PDF files in seconds. Built with an offline-first architecture, all local scanning, automatic edge detection, OCR text search, and PDF editing tools work right on your device—no account sign-up and no internet connection required.

SMART DOCUMENT & PHOTO SCANNING
• Capture single pages or multi-page batches with automatic border detection and perspective correction.
• Import existing photos or PDF files from your device and combine them into a clean, organized document.
• Crop, rotate, reorder pages, and apply high-contrast filters (Black & White, Auto, Color, Photo) for crisp, readable scans.

ON-DEVICE OCR & FULL-TEXT SEARCH
• Extract text accurately from scanned pages and photos using built-in optical character recognition (OCR).
• Search across both document titles and recognized text inside your scans—find the exact receipt, contract clause, or lecture note and jump straight to the matching page.

COMPLETE LOCAL PDF TOOLKIT
