ClearScanner: Doc, Cam Scanner

Turn your phone camera into a document scanner that keeps every scan on the phone. ClearScanner is a free scanner app: a document scanner, PDF maker and OCR text scanner. Scan paper to PDF or JPG, make the words on the page searchable, then sign, annotate and share. No account, no cloud, no upload step. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE CLEARSCANNER Free. Every feature below is included. No subscription, no watermark on exports, no page limit, no ads. Private by design. ClearScanner has no server. It cannot upload your documents because there is nowhere to upload them to. A payslip, an ID card or a signed contract stays on the phone you scanned it with. Works offline. Scanning, edge detection, OCR, PDF creation and export all run on the device. Put the phone in flight mode and it all still works. Nothing is collected. No sign-up, no email, no analytics, no contacts, no location. WHAT PEOPLE SCAN WITH IT Receipts, invoices and bills. Lecture notes, homework and assignments. Contracts, agreements and forms. Certificates and mark sheets. Books and magazines. Whiteboards. Business cards. Prescriptions. Anything you would otherwise photocopy. SCANNING MODES - Automatic edge detection and perspective correction, so a page shot at an angle comes out square - Guided crop after every capture, one page at a time, skippable - Batch mode for long documents, single page mode for one sheet - ID card mode puts the front and back of a card on one page: an Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence, passport or student card. ClearScanner is independent, not connected to any government body. - Book mode splits a two page spread into separate pages - Import a photo you already have, or open an existing PDF and edit its pages MAKING PAGES LOOK RIGHT - Magic, Grayscale and Black and White filters - Clean up removes the shadow a hand or lamp casts across the paper - Brightness, contrast and rotation - Four corner crop with a magnifier under your finger - Every page is processed at full resolution, not on a preview OCR AND TEXT RECOGNITION - OCR reads the printed words on each page and indexes them - Search finds a document by any word inside it, not just its title - Copy the recognised text out, or save the page as text or a Word file - Five writing systems: Latin, Devanagari, Chinese, Japanese and Korean - It all runs on the device, so image to text works with no connection PDF SCANNER AND EXPORT - Make a PDF from a scan, or convert photos in your gallery from image to PDF - A4, Letter or fit the scan, and three file sizes: smaller file or sharper page - Merge documents into one, split one into two, reorder or delete pages - Password protect a PDF with AES 128 encryption, done on the device - Export to Word, spreadsheet, plain text or JPG - Print to any printer your phone can see SIGN AND ANNOTATE - Draw a signature once and reuse it, or import a transparent PNG - Freehand pen, highlighter, text labels and a one tap date stamp - Optional watermark and page numbers on exported PDFs ORGANISE AND PROTECT - Folders and colour coded tags for a growing library - Search across titles and recognised text - Recycle bin keeps deleted documents for 30 days - App lock with a passcode, and fingerprint or face unlock ALSO INCLUDED - Passport and ID photos laid out on a 4 by 6 inch sheet at exact mm sizes - QR code scanner and barcode reader YOUR BACKUPS, YOUR CHOICE Back up the whole library to one file, kept wherever you like. It is an ordinary ZIP, so your pages stay readable on any computer even without this app. Restore it on a new phone in one step. There is no cloud storage here, so nothing is backed up behind your back either. PERMISSIONS ClearScanner asks for the camera when you scan and your photo library when you import a picture. It never asks for contacts, location, accounts or files. One honest limit: this app does not sync between devices and has no web version. Both need a server, which is exactly what it does not have.
