Scanly: Scan to PDF

Turn your phone into a fast, private document scanner. Scanly finds the edges of the page, straightens the perspective, and gives you a clean PDF in seconds. Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.

SCAN ANYTHING FLAT
Point, shoot, done. Scanly detects the page boundary automatically, corrects the angle so a photo taken from the side comes out square, and cleans the result up for reading and printing.
• Automatic edge detection on every capture
• Perspective correction that squares up an angled shot
• Save and share as a PDF straight from the app
• A library that keeps every scan organized and searchable by name

WHAT PEOPLE SCAN
Receipts for expenses. Contracts and leases. Tax documents. Insurance forms. Passports and ID for a visa application. Homework and lecture notes. Whiteboards after a meeting. Handwritten recipes. Warranty paperwork. Medical records. Anything you need as a PDF in the next two minutes.

ON DEVICE OCR, WITH PRO
Extract the text out of any scan and copy it anywhere. The recognition runs locally, so a contract or a payslip is never handed to a server for processing. Searchable text out of a paper document, without the paper document going anywhere.

BATCH SCANNING, WITH PRO
Capture a stack of pages into one document and export the whole thing as a single PDF. Useful the first time you have to scan a twelve page agreement and do not want twelve separate files.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
This is the part most scanner apps get wrong. Your documents are processed entirely on your device and never sent to a server, because a receipt, a contract or an ID should not pass through somebody else's cloud on the way to becoming a PDF. There is no account, no upload, and no sync.

FREE TO SCAN AND SAVE
Single page scans, edge detection, perspective correction, and PDF export are free. No trial period, no page limit, no ads.

SCANLY PRO, A SINGLE $0.99 PURCHASE
One payment, no subscription, ever. Pro adds:
• On device OCR text extraction from any scan
• Batch scanning of multiple pages and multiple documents
• Removes the small "Made with Scanly" mark from exported PDFs

WHY PAY ONCE
Every other scanner app on this store wants a monthly fee to turn paper into a PDF. Scanly costs less than a coffee, one time, and then it is yours. No renewal, no price rise, no losing your own documents behind a paywall you forgot to cancel.
