Fast Scanner review
A practical free scanner for basic document capture, organization, and local sharing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fast Scanner is a mobile document-scanning app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. It is designed for receipts, notes, invoices, business cards, whiteboards, and other paper documents. Users can capture images with a device camera or import them from the gallery, then adjust the frame and image appearance before saving or sharing. The app suits individuals and small teams that need straightforward scanning without a broader document-management workflow.
The scanning workflow covers the essentials: draggable corners for manual framing, brightness, rotation, black-and-white, color, and grayscale adjustments, plus page management for combining multiple scans into one document. Documents can be exported as PDF or JPEG files, printed, emailed, opened in other applications, or shared with cloud-storage tools. Local organization includes folders and document renaming, which keeps recurring scans easier to sort on the device. The published integrations include Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, and Easy Fax.
Pricing is split by platform and edition. The Android free app states unlimited scan documents and features, while Fast Scanner Pro editions for iOS and Android are listed as one-time purchases. That makes the product a sensible choice for basic capture, multipage document creation, and local sharing, especially for users who prefer a free Android option or a direct purchase model. Choose another scanner if automatic capture, a more advanced searchable-document workflow, or deeper document processing is central to your needs.
