Top 5 Scanning Apps for Android

In this digitized era, we need to give or submit scanned documents at every place. Sometimes, it’s very urgent to submit scanned documents and then we start looking for a scanner or stationery shop to do it for us. But now, we don’t need to look for a scanner anymore because our smartphones are capable of scanning any documents.

The cameras of smartphones are powerful enough to scan any document and convert it into Pdf file or any other files. Less than 5 mins and you can scan any documents with clarity and in the size that you want.

I personally scan my own important documents through my mobile phone because it’s faster than a desktop scanner so why should I go to the market and spend money on this scanning process.

If you want to know about those applications with the help you can also scan documents through your smartphone then read all the further points.

Top 5 scanning Apps for Android

If you are an android user then ready to know about the scanning apps for your smartphones or if you are ios users then read for the knowledge and spread it with your Android user’s friends.

Google Drive

We all know that google drive is used for saving our files like images, videos, and other documents and sending files to others but very few people know that google drive also helps us scan the documents.

Yes, you read correctly, google drive has a feature to scan any documents. It’s good for users because they don’t have to install any other app to scan their documents. Just open your google drive and you will see a + sign at the bottom of the right corner.

Click that + sign and a pop-up screen opens there where you will see many options with a “scan” option. You get many more features there like ‘crop the image’ and ‘change the color or quality of the image’.

Genius Scan

Last but not the least, in my list, Genius Scan holds 5th position but it doesn’t mean that there is a lack of features. Genius Scan has many different features such as the support of different page layouts. A3, A4, A5, and legal paper or visiting card layout.

These features make this app different from all others. It can also support backups and restoration of data. You can use this app for multiple scans as well. After the scan, you can share your file with others and save it into cloud storage easily.

Conclusion

We all need to accept that those apps and our smartphones make the way of scanning documents easier for us. Because earlier, we had to go to the market and find a shop then wait for the turn and also spend so much money on it.

I have personally been there when I finished college because I had started preparing for competitive exams. Therefore, every other day, I had to fill the exam forms and submit my documents. I used to go to shops and spend money on scanning documents but when I learned about these apps, I started scanning my documents from my smartphones and saved my money and time.

So, these apps are very useful, helpful, and time-saving apps.
