iScanner review
A broad scanning and document workflow app for IDs, receipts, OCR, and exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
iScanner is a document-scanning and document-management app for individuals, students, professionals, and small businesses. It captures documents, ID cards, passports, receipts, and other papers, then converts them into PDFs and other file formats. Automatic edge detection, perspective correction, image enhancement, OCR, multipage scanning, signatures, annotations, redaction, and electronic stamps cover the main stages of a mobile document workflow. The app is available on web, iOS, and Android, with a free plan and a 7-day free trial.
Its broad feature set is the main reason to consider it. OCR supports more than 20 languages, while PDF tools handle editing, page reordering, annotations, and redaction. Users can create multipage PDFs, add electronic signatures and stamps, and export to PDF, JPG, PPT, TXT, Excel, or DOC. AI modes add math, object-counting, and area-measurement functions, extending the app beyond straightforward paper capture. Cloud storage, synchronization, and backup support ongoing access across platforms.
For ecosystem fit, iScanner connects with Dropbox, Evernote, and Google Drive, and includes a 1 year Pro 100Gb storage plan with Pro features and 100 GB storage. The free version offers unlimited scanning, although export and feature limits vary by platform. Choose iScanner if you need one app for multilingual OCR, identity documents, receipts, editing, signing, and varied exports. Consider an alternative if your priority is a narrower scanning workflow or a simpler plan structure.
