Keep the original page
The visible PDF page contains the captured image, including the original layout, marks, and handwriting.
Searchable PDF maker
A scan you can search, not just see.
SCANIFY preserves the photographed page and adds recognized text, so the finished PDF looks like the source while its words can be found.
Add recognized words
OCR creates a text layer that PDF readers can search and that SCANIFY uses to find saved scans.
Use a standard PDF
Download the completed file or share it from the Android app with another app on your device.
Upload a PDF or build one from images
Add one PDF, or up to 10 JPEG or PNG pages. SCANIFY keeps page order and produces a searchable PDF, which is useful for forms, notes, letters, receipts, and other everyday paperwork.
Clear, evenly lit, straight page images produce better results. Printed text is generally easier to recognize than handwriting, faint copies, decorative type, or blurred photos.
Searchable does not mean fully accessible
The recognized text helps with search, but SCANIFY does not reconstruct headings, tables, reading order, or other document structure. Generated files are not guaranteed to conform to PDF/UA. See the accessibility page for known limitations and help.
