Scan
Point your camera at the page. Edges are found for you, the shot is taken when it is steady, and the page is cropped and flattened. Keep going for multi-page documents.

How it works
Five steps. All on your phone.
2
Watch it read
A soft light sweeps across the page as every word is recognized — on the device, in about a second. Then copy any text, tap an email, phone number or address.
3
See the difference
Drag the slider to compare the original photo with the cleaned-up scan. Magic Color, Clean or Grayscale — pick what reads best.
4
Find any word. Fill & sign.
Search the text inside every scan and jump to the highlighted match. Add text, dates, check marks and your signature to a PDF right on the phone.
5
Share your way
Export as PDF, JPG or Word. Choose paper size, shrink to 1, 2 or 5 MB for email, add a searchable text layer or a password.
PRO features are free for your first 20 pages, then $7.99 once.
Everything organized
Folders, recents and PDF tools built in.
Merge, split, reorder and compress PDFs. Turn photos into a PDF or a PDF into images. Lock a file with a password, or lock the whole app with Face ID.
Search inside scans
Every word on every page is searchable, with the match highlighted on the page.
How it works →Password & app lock
Password-protect an exported PDF, or lock the app with Face ID or fingerprint.
How it works →Sign and tidy up
The PDF tools you would otherwise pay for twice.
Fill a form, sign it, compress it under 2 MB and send it — without leaving the app or uploading the file anywhere.
Live Text on iPhone
Tap an address for directions. Tap a date to save it.
Scanned pages become something you can act on: addresses open in Maps, dates go straight to Calendar, and phone numbers, emails and links are one tap away.
Private by design
Hide what others shouldn’t see. Lock the rest.
Cover an account number with a black or blurred box before you send a page — it is burned into a new copy, the original stays untouched. Then lock the whole app with a PIN or Face ID.
A mode for every paper
Letters, whiteboards, ID cards and more.
Each mode is tuned for its kind of paper — both sides of an ID card land on one A4 page. And a small reward along the way: Zency Scan keeps count of the paper you’ve saved.
iPhone · iPhone Duo · Android phones & tablets
A calmer kind of scanner app.
Soft lavender, one violet accent, color-coded folders — and no pop-ups fighting for your attention. On the unfolded iPhone Duo or an Android tablet your folders, the document and the page sit side by side.

Private by design
Your documents stay on your phone.
Passports, leases, pay slips — the papers you scan are often the most personal ones you own.
No account
Open the app and scan. There is nothing to sign up for.
No cloud upload
Pages and text stay in the app on your device. You decide when to share or export.
OCR on device
Text recognition runs on your phone, so it works offline — on a plane, in a basement, anywhere. (On Android, the first scan may need a connection once to download the scanner module.)

Pay once. Keep it.
