Kaagaz review
A capable free scanner with affordable Premium tools for mobile-first document workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kaagaz is a mobile document-scanning and PDF-management app for individuals, freelancers, business owners, and other mobile-first users. It captures documents as PDFs or images, detects document edges, enhances scans, creates multipage PDFs, and uses OCR to make text searchable. Folder-based organization, document search, sharing, and PDF reading and editing make it suitable for keeping personal, work, and business paperwork together across Android, iOS, and the web.
The free plan covers scanning, while the published Premium plan costs ₹999 per year. Premium adds HD scanning, desktop access, advanced PDF editing tools, 1 GB of cloud storage, and no ads. Its document toolkit goes beyond capture: users can merge, split, compress, rearrange, lock, and unlock PDFs, then share them as PDF or JPG files. Encrypted cloud backup adds a way to keep documents available across devices, although the included storage is focused rather than extensive.
Kaagaz fits users who want a straightforward scanning workflow with OCR, searchable PDFs, organization, and cloud access without a recurring monthly price. Google Drive and Dropbox integrations support common file-storage workflows, while web, Android, and iOS coverage broadens access beyond a single phone. It is less suited to teams needing larger cloud-storage allowances, a wider integration ecosystem, or desktop access beyond Kaagaz Cloud. Choose it for affordable personal and small-business document handling; consider an alternative when collaboration depth or expansive storage matters more than mobile scanning and PDF tools.
