SCANIFY FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
The practical details about capture, searchable PDFs, storage, limits, and document control.
What is different on the web and Android?
The web workspace accepts a PDF or JPEG and PNG page images, and can take a basic browser-camera photo. The Android app adds a native document scanner with edge detection, cropping, perspective correction, and enhancement.
What makes a PDF searchable?
SCANIFY recognizes text on each page and adds a text layer to the PDF. It also stores recognized text so you can search your saved scans by title or contents. Learn how searchable PDFs work.
How many pages can I add?
One scan can contain one PDF or 1–10 JPEG or PNG pages. A PDF or complete image set can be up to 10 MB; each image can be up to 5 MB.
Is OCR always accurate?
No. Focus, lighting, language, handwriting, page layout, and source quality affect recognition. Review important results and keep the original document.
Where are my documents stored?
The finished PDF and recognized text are stored for your SCANIFY account. Uploaded page images are processed to build the PDF and are not retained as separate stored files. Read more on the security page.
Does SCANIFY send documents to generative AI?
No. OCR runs with Tesseract within the SCANIFY server process, and page contents are not sent to a generative-AI provider.
Why do I need to sign in?
An account keeps scans private to you and makes saved PDFs and recognized text available in your workspace.
What are the current usage limits?
Each account can submit up to 5 scans per UTC day and keep 20 saved scans. The daily allowance resets at 00:00 UTC.
How do I delete a scan or my account?
Use Delete beside a saved scan to remove that document. Use “Delete my SCANIFY account” in the workspace to remove the account's scans, stored PDFs, usage records, and authentication account.
How do I install the Android app?
Download the APK from the Android page, open it on the Android device, and allow that browser to install the app if Android asks. SCANIFY is distributed directly outside Google Play.
How can I get help?
Read support or email support@vidifyads.com. Do not attach private documents or page images.
