Scanning

Not a photo. A scan.

A photo of a page is grey, tilted and full of shadows. Scansy turns it into a flat, white page you would be happy to send.

  1. Step 1:

    Edges found

    Scansy spots the page and its four corners on its own.

  2. Step 2:

    Perspective corrected

    The page is straightened and cropped. Adjust the corners by hand if you like.

  3. Step 3:

    Magic filter

    Shadows and creases flatten out, leaving a clean, white page.

Before: a phone photo of a printed page, skewed, grey and shadowed, with a crease across it
After: the same page as a Scansy scan, flat, cropped and clean white

Privacy

It stays on this phone.

About to scan your passport, a contract or a medical letter? Here is who else gets to see it: no one.

  • No account

    Open the app and scan. No email, no password, nothing to sign up for.

  • No upload

    Pages, PDFs and recognised text are saved on your phone, not on a server.

  • No sign-in wall

    Every feature works without signing in. No “sign in to continue”, ever.

…unless you turn on backup yourself. Encrypted backup is coming soon.

How we know: text recognition runs on the device, there is no account to create, and the app sends only anonymous usage counts and crash reports, which one switch in Settings turns off.

Scan, clean up, read and organise documents in one quiet app, all on your phone.

    Edges found, perspective fixed

    Scansy finds the page, straightens it and crops away the background, and you can fine-tune the corners by hand.

  • Shadow & crease removal

    Shadows and creases, flattened

    The magic filter evens out shadows and folds on wrinkled paper, with black & white, grayscale and color modes too.
