Turn paper and whiteboards into PDFs
With the Adobe Scan app, easily capture and convert documents, forms, business cards, and whiteboards into high-quality PDFs. And with different capture modes along with automatic boundary detection, you can get the best scans every time.
AI-enhanced scans
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
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.
Powerful tools included
Adobe Scan is completely free to download. Create scans and share your PDFs with a few clicks. Want to do even more? Start a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro to combine files, convert documents to different formats, protect PDFs with passwords, and access advanced editing tools across devices.
File your documents hassle-free. Adobe Scan allows you to quickly save files with recommended filenames and dates and to organize them into custom folders. Saved scans can be accessed on the Acrobat desktop, web, or mobile application.
Open scans in Acrobat desktop, web, or mobile app to fill out forms, sign documents, add notes or comments to PDFs, and review with others.
