FastScan review
A capable mobile scanner for IDs, passports, OCR, multipage PDFs and flexible exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FastScan is a mobile document-scanning app for individuals, students and businesses that need to capture, edit and convert documents with a phone camera. It runs on iOS and Android and combines OCR text recognition, automatic document-edge detection, smart cropping and PDF creation. ID-card and passport modes make it particularly relevant for people who scan identity documents while traveling, applying for services or organizing records. Batch scanning supports multipage documents, while signatures and stamps cover common finishing tasks.
Its strongest area is the breadth of document handling in one mobile app. FastScan can convert photos or images into PDFs, export scans to PDF, JPG, Word and TXT, and apply PDF edits such as cropping, brightness, contrast and text adjustments. AI-based curve correction is designed to improve captures made from curved pages, and local document processing is included in the product description. Together, these features give the app a wider scope than a basic camera-to-PDF utility, especially for users who need both capture and post-scan editing.
The ecosystem is focused rather than expansive. Sharing is available through email and social media, but the published integration set does not extend beyond those channels. The listed subscription options are Scanner App Weekly, Scanner App Yearly and Scanner App Weekly Premium; these provide subscription access to scanner features or a premium subscription option. FastScan suits users who want mobile ID and passport scanning, OCR and multiple export formats in a single app. Organizations seeking broader integrations or a more extensive document workflow should consider a more specialized alternative.
