In their own words

Adobe Scan

Adobe Scan turns paper documents into digital scans on iOS and Android. Its capture modes and automatic boundary detection help frame pages; AI tools correct perspective, sharpen text, and reduce glare and shadows. OCR makes scans editable and searchable and can extract their text. You can create multipage PDFs, add drawings or shapes, and export files as PDF, JPEG, or Word. Sharing options include links, email, and connected cloud services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. Files can be arranged in custom folders, and markup changes sync across devices. Saved scans are also accessible through Acrobat desktop, web, and mobile apps, where Acrobat supports forms, signatures, notes, comments, and review with others. Adobe Scan is free to download, and creating and sharing PDFs is free. A free Acrobat Pro trial adds file combining, format conversion, password protection, and advanced editing. The app supports iOS 15 or later and Android 8.0 or later; files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
