Why Skani

Skani is built specifically for document scanning. It is not a general photo scanner with document features added later. The experience is optimized around creating useful PDF files that are easy to read, easy to find, and easy to share.

For black-and-white documents, Skani is optimized for crisp, high-quality output by default. For documents that need more detail, you can keep grayscale or color. Quality options let you choose between smaller file sizes and higher-resolution PDFs depending on what the document needs.
