PDF Document Scanner-PlainScan

PlainScan is a PDF scanner and document scanner that turns paper into clean PDFs. Open the app, tap Scan, and you're already scanning: no ads, no videos to sit through, no sign-up, no watermark.

WHAT IT DOES
• Finds the page edges automatically and straightens the photo
• Cleans up shadows and stains, with optional filters
• Scans many pages into one document; add more pages later
• Import photos from your gallery
• Reorder, rotate or delete pages
• Share or save as PDF, share as images, or print
• Copy the text from any scan with on-device OCR: English and other Latin-alphabet languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Devanagari scripts
• Search all your documents by title or by the words inside them
• Light and dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
PlainScan has no internet permission, so your documents can't leave your phone unless you share them yourself. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no account. Text recognition runs on your device.

FAST WHEN YOU NEED IT
• "New scan" shortcut: long-press the app icon
• Optional "open camera on launch" setting, so the app opens straight into a scan

Use it as a receipt scanner, an ID card scanner or a quick way to scan to PDF: invoices, contracts, forms, school notes, letters and anything else on paper.

Scanning is powered by the on-device document scanner in Google Play services.

Recent changes:
PlainScan now speaks your language: the app is available in 16 languages. Text recognition adds Japanese, Korean and Hindi (choose in Settings > Text language). Scanned text in other scripts now displays in the right direction.
