How SCANIFY works

From paper to searchable PDF.

Choose the capture route that fits the device in your hand. SCANIFY combines the pages, recognizes their text, and keeps the finished PDF ready to find, download, or share.

WEB

Upload a PDF or add page images

Add one PDF, select JPEG or PNG page images, or take a straightforward photo with a supported browser camera. Web camera capture does not automatically detect, crop, or correct page edges.

ANDROID

Use the document scanner

The Android app detects page edges, crops and corrects perspective, enhances the capture, and supports several pages in one scanning session.

Four steps, one finished document

  4. 04Use or remove itDownload, share, or permanently delete the finished scan.

What text recognition can—and cannot—do

OCR adds machine-recognized words to the PDF and SCANIFY search. Results depend on focus, lighting, handwriting, language, and the source page. Review important documents and keep the original; recognition and automatic cropping can be incomplete or inaccurate.
