Digitize your files with ease
Fast Scanner – PDF Scan App, or simply Fast Scanner, is a free document management tool that lets you turn your device into a portable scanner. It’s the ideal app for digitizing various documents such as receipts, notes, invoices, business cards, and even multiple pages books.
It uses your device’s camera to scan the documents, so make sure that your gadget has that and that you’ve granted the app permission to access it. Additionally, Fast Scanner is lightweight so it doesn’t take up much space in your storage, and is optimized so you can use it efficiently.
A scanner with convenient tools
To digitize your physical documents using Fast Scanner, simply tap on the camera icon at the bottom right of the screen. The app has the option to do a single scan or batch scan and enable the flash for a clearer result. You can also choose between document or ID card digitization. The latter option provides you with two scan processes to get the front and back of your ID.
You can export your scanned files as either a PDF document or an image file via email, message, or Bluetooth. The app also gives you the option to save it in your device’s storage or Google Drive. Aside from these functions, this scanner has the convenient option of adding new pages or deleting existing ones within the PDF file and editing them without leaving the app.
Free utility apps like this one run ads so that developers can continue maintaining and improving them. However, the ads in this tool can interrupt the scanning process as they pop up in the middle of your work. This can be an annoying occurrence, especially if you’re digitizing a lot of documents. The only solution to removing the ads is by upgrading the app to its pro version.
Scan documents on the go
Although the insistent ads can be annoying, Fast Scanner still enables you to turn any camera-equipped device into a portable scanner. It also allows you to safely store your scans in your device’s storage or Google Drive and send it through various channels. The app even has an editing function as well as an add or delete page feature to conveniently modify your documents within the app.
