Adobe Scan is a mobile application that transforms your smartphone into a powerful scanner. It uses the phone's camera to capture documents, receipts, notes, and whiteboards. The app automatically detects edges, sharpens content for readability, and employs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert images into editable text. It supports saving scans in PDF format and sharing via email or cloud services.

Adobe Scan is free on Android and iOS, offering essential scanning features without cost. For additional premium features like increased storage, advanced OCR, and exporting to various formats, users can subscribe to Adobe's Document Cloud services.

Android devices need Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later, and iOS devices require iOS 12.0 or later. A good resolution camera is recommended for high-quality scans, along with sufficient storage space. A stable internet connection is helpful for cloud storage and sharing, but not mandatory for local scans.

Adobe Scan emphasizes user privacy and security. Documents stored in Adobe Document Cloud are encrypted to protect against unauthorized access. Users can also save scanned documents directly to their device, avoiding cloud storage. Regular app updates are recommended to benefit from security improvements.

Yes, Adobe Scan supports OCR in multiple languages, making it suitable for international documents. Users can select their preferred language in the app settings to improve OCR accuracy, which may vary depending on the language and scan quality.
