AI-enhanced scans
Cleaner, smarter and easier.
Adobe Scan uses AI to correct image perspective, sharpen handwritten or printed text, and remove glares and shadows. With OCR (optical character recognition), you can convert scanned documents into editable, searchable PDF files instantly. Easily extract text, and type new text in custom fonts that match the original file.
Draw on scans or save as JPEGs
Do more with your scans.
Adobe Scan allows you to add drawings or shapes with markup tools right in the app. Save files as JPEGs for more flexibility and incorporate them into documents. Share scans with a link or email — or upload them to your favorite cloud apps.
