Adobe Scan is a mobile document-scanning app from Adobe that turns a phone camera into a scanner, automatically detecting document edges, correcting perspective, and enhancing image quality. It converts scans into searchable PDFs using built-in OCR, and can recognize business cards, whiteboards, forms, and receipts, extracting text for reuse. Scanned files save directly to Adobe Document Cloud and can be opened, signed, or edited in Adobe Acrobat.
The app targets students, professionals, and small-business users who need a quick way to digitize paperwork, contracts, or receipts without a dedicated scanner. Core scanning and OCR are free to use, while Adobe Acrobat subscription plans add features like PDF editing, e-signatures, and expanded storage.
Adobe Scan is available on iOS and Android, works offline for capturing scans with sync on reconnect, and integrates with Adobe's broader Document Cloud and PDF Services APIs for developers building document workflows.
