Overall, Camscanner helped me get rid of manual scanners and helped me quickly scan documents, efficient storage and fast retrieval. I found the software quite helpful in creating my document repository. My camera is my scanner, and my handheld devices are my office filing system, and I feel powerful. I don't need a bulky office file management system for my important documents. My office moves with me. I can convert lousy pages into professional-looking documents. I can share my documents with my team quickly. The best part is that it does the job much better than any of the competing products.
1. It automatically scans your documents and converts the scanned documents with batch processing, where you don't have to do repetitive iterations. 2. The most impactful feature is its ability to apply magic color effects to highlight the document content. 3. Another great feature is the searchability option among tour scanned images. 4. You can group your documents the way you want for easy and quick...
1. Sometimes, batch processing or auto conversion of documents crops the important portions of your documents, and you need to adjust every page again. Sometimes you don't even know that auto-cropping removed something, so it needs some improvements. 2. If you try to import multiple PDF files, it does not work at all. 3. Sometimes auto highlight feature increases or decreases brightness too much. Sometimes you do not want a dark background, and there is no way to remove it. 4. It may be useful to convert a scanned document directly into an editable word file with OCR.

As a civil engineer need to handle too many documents , some times need to keep copy of official documents for future use. But in field its very hard get good resolution by images. Camscanner solve this problem in no time, i am able to take scan very easily , in different format also. I can save the document in my devices or send to my superior in a click. No need to get training to operate. Love the app.
Best mobile scanner software available now. In a few click i am able to take good quality scan by my device, edit files and send to my team member also very easy. For the last 2 year, i get tons of scan by this software, it never disappointed me. Document management is pretty decent here. Editing option is very much effective, even in free version i was able to use without any hassel, only watermark .if i get pro deal that problem also solved.
In free option, shows too many ads. If you want to take full benefit ,need to purchase. Its worth buying comparing situation, without its how much hassel we need to take.

Working with camscanner in the past 12 months has been very helpful from easy conversion of my documents to quick scans and transfer of files, it honestly has been a very useful tool to have on a smart phone
There are several pros of CamScanner, including:1. Easy to use: CamScanner is incredibly easy to use, even for those who don’t have much experience with scanning apps.2. High-quality scans: The app produces high-quality scans with resolution up to 300 DPI.3. Multiple editing options: CamScanner allows users to adjust the size, brightness, contrast, and sharpness of their scans.4. Cloud integration:...
The only issues i found with the CamScanner application were;1. Hidden costs: While CamScanner is free to download, to unlock all its features, you'll need to purchase a subscription, which can be a barrier to people who can't afford it or who were misled by the app's 'free' label.2. Advertisements: The app has built-in ads that can be intrusive and interrupt your workflow.Other than this it’s awesome

I liked it very much, and it is easy to use and very fast in dealing with images and extracting them for you with the desired result, helped me to keep many important papers and documents in high quality in my phone
Many times we are in an academic or professional place and we want to keep a copy of important documents and papers, and because we do not have a scanner, we cannot keep them in a high copy, and at that moment we photograph them using the phone only, but they are very bad due to their poor quality, then CamScanner application came to solve this is the problem. It captures high-quality documents that...
The free version is full of ads that make it impossible to use and very annoying at times when we are in a hurry

muy buena
de las cosas que mas me gustaron es que tomando una foto de un archivo en cuanto lo abre ya en pdf puede comenzar a editarlo imediatamente tiene de lo mejores filtro y sus herramientas realmente son utiles, no hace pequena la imagene en su convesiones de muebles como otras aplicaciones ademas de no ocupar mucho espacio de memoria
por que de mi titulo hace un año era de los mejores app gratuita, despues toda las mejores herramienta y filtro ,ademas de medidas de seguridad que tanto gusta ,solo que podia usar en version de paga quitando la poibilidad que mucha personas se identificaran con el programa, en su version gratuita es muy simple

I am completely satisfied with the working and features of CamScanner and i am using it from last 5 years for scanning documents for official and personal use.
With CamScanner there is no need of scanner device because now your mobile camera is your scanner and you can easily scan any documents anywhere. You can also extract texts from scanned images very easily and share them with your desired audience. Other best features of CamScanner includes document settings, PDF conversion and import to gallery. You can also digitised your notes instead of keeping them in hard form without any hasstle.
Every documents which scanned via CamScanner contains name of CamScanner written in the footer of scanning which i think should be remove other than that i am satisfied with the working and features of CamScanner.

My overall experience with camscanner is excellent . I use this on daily basis as I have to submit my assignments via mail,so scanning handwritten assignment by camscanner is easy and simple .It is a very handy tool for students like me. Overall camscanner is best and satisfactory for students.
very handy tool. Best quality pdf can be created. filters can be used to customise the document scanned.multiple pages can be scanned on batch mode that is a good feature.I use camscanner in daily basis and i am satisfied with its features and I also had recommended it to my colleagues and friends.
It has very less cons so far.One of them is that the watermarks can't be removed in free version.and the documents are to be edited individually in batch mode also.that is a bit time consuming. Premium version is a bit costly for students like me.

CamScanner is a helpful tool for mobile document scanning, storage, and sharing. The app's numerous capabilities make it simple to scan, organize, and distribute paper documents. Users, however, need to know that there are some security and functionality issues with the app's free edition.
CamScanner improves document quality with innovative algorithms. The software crops, brightens, and straightens pictures for clean, professional scans. OCR technology in the app converts scanned text into editable text. This helps users edit or extract text from scanned documents.
All scanned documents in the free version of the program will have a watermark on them. To get rid of the watermark, users must pay for the premium version. There are restrictions on what you can do and how much data you can save in the app's free version. If they want additional capacity or features, users will need to pay for the premium version.

Able to store my articles for future reference in the cloud and in case they are deleted on my mobile device plus it saves on storage space this way.
It is clear when scanning a document. And it has affordable packages depending on one's ability. What I love about Camscanner is the fact that it's mobile and doesn't require one carrying a printer when i want to scan my documents. As a Content Writer, I use CamScanner to store the articles i have written them it in the cloud and can get access to them at any time.
The only disadvantage is having a CamScanner watermark when using the free version.

I used this app since last 1-2 years and I think I am not facing any kind of difficulty in it.
CamScanner is best application for scanning your documents and share the image as pdf or jpeg format. It has another fabulous option that it can convert your photo into text. You can scan multiple pages in a single file and directly convert into pdf through one click only. It has multiple features such as editing the documents, import from gallery, save to gallery, rename the file and many more. You can also make a collage of multiple pages in different templates. It gives you the clear scanning result in different filters.
Some features of CamScanner is only accessible by upgrading the app into premium and gold after paying the subscription fees.

It has made sharing of receipts easier and reduced time spent typing documents by the use of OCR to extract texts from scanned documents.
1. Cam Scanner is easy to use and affordable. In fact, one can get a lifetime permit of the app at 299$. 2. Converting some of the scanned documents into editable text documents has saved me a lot of typing time. 3. Super excited to convert my scanned documents into PDF before sharing. 4. The free version of Camscanner also has a good number of features. 5. I can use it wherever I am as long as I have my phone
Too many advertisemnets on the fremium one.

It's a great experience, everyone is allowed to use and create their own documents in the order that they wish to.
You are able to convert any picture to pdf. If you have to written your assignment or presentation down and you are lazy to type on your laptop, you can just use the app to scan your document and convert it to pdf. The free version works as good as the premium.
If you are using a free version, all your documents will show that you used camscanner at the bottom and you have to purchase a pack to remove it. Other than that it is all good no complains.

Overall Experience is great so far.
It lets users to take a picture of their documents and convert them into one pdf file with ease. There are different features that you can use including which type of document you want to scan e.g. ID card, Single pager document, Batch, Book, Question Book, QR code etc etc. File conversion options are also available in CamScanner. It pretty much fulfills all the needs of a corporate employee.
Sometimes the application crashes on iphone. Especially after recent upgrade to new iOS version 14.7.1.

I haven't faced issues with CamScanner, I am having a great experience with CamScanner for formatting and converting the files. I Suggest to try it to make your work more professional
I started using CamScanner since the lockdown period for scanning my assignments and submitting for my college work. Since then I never stopped, It made my wok easier. It is very easy to use and it's UI is so simple that anybody can access the tools. We can easily scan and convert any format and it makes the CamScanner to use by many people.
The CamScanner converts but after conversion the quality of the image sometimes change. And the watermark cannot be removed in free version. Apart from that it is a great software.

I am extremely satisfied when using CamScanner a really hassle-free and quick way to scan documents. Would definitely recommend it to others.
It is very quick to scan and share documents by just clicking photos of the documents, very helpful to scan documents on the go. The fact that we can apply different filters which best suit our need is awesome. It also supports sharing of the document to various other messenger platforms and email which is very useful.
There is a CamScanner logo at the bottom of the document if we use the free version of the application, it would be good if that could be removed, as it sometimes interferes with the document.

My overall experience with CamScanner has been wonderful in-terms of the utility and the convenience of usage.
The most I like about this software is the fact that the ease through which I could scan my required stuff and the way the unwanted part on the images captured through the app gets eliminated and how the scanning is soo well done to obtain the enhanced end product which is the final scanned product. In case of a student account or a paid subscription, there's no watermark as well on the scanned documents and the app is absolutely free for use. I really appreciate the way this product treats students!!
The least I like about this software is the fact that the shadows aren't taken well care of and I really look forward to the enhanced version of this app with the shadows well taken care and the final scanned product being more clear.

CamScanner is a useful tool for digitizing their paper documents and making them more accessible and manageable.
CamScanner is a mobile app that provides several features to help users scan, store, and manage their documents. It allows users to digitize paper documents, receipts, business cards, and more, using their mobile device's camera. Furthermore, this app makes it possible to quickly capture information from scanned documents and transfer it to other applications or devices. Also, it allows users to convert scanned images or PDFs into editable formats like Word, Excel, or PPT.
CamScanner provides some basic text editing capabilities, it may not have the full range of editing tools that some users need. For example, users who need to make complex changes to documents may need to use a different app or software.

Incredible application. So far this is the best Android Mobile scanner I've run over. I'm anticipating opening a greater amount of your highlights. my Son sends his Project to the teacher as a result of this application! Numerous Teachers gripe to send in a pdf and this aides Soo much! It permits a portion of a Lot of photos, and the altering (colors) is spotless. energetically suggest
I've had individuals in the organization ask me what I use to transfer my records since I didn't have a genuine scanner. They were intrigued by this application, too. Tidies and fixes things up everything looks truly overall quite clean and like I utilized a scanner!
It has plenty of channels that make the output appear as though it was filtered by a printer. Furthermore, the tools are not difficult to utilize! Is basic and great. I can import different photographs and save time changing them over to pdfs

My experience with this app was wonderful, as I don't have a scanner at home and during the pandemic, I had to urgently send documents for a selective process, so I researched and found good reviews about Camscanner. After I used it for the first time, I fell in love with the quality and speed of scanning with my own cell phone. The user just needs to point and aim straight with the camera, and the application does the rest of the work with great quality.
1) The app has a free and paid version for Android and IOS. 2) Even with an average camera resolution, the application can deliver a good result. 3) Layout is easy and intuitive. 4) Just point the camera at the document you want to scan and you will have a scanner result. 5) You can scan multiple documents into a single file. 6) You can save your file in pdf, jpg and other file formats. 7) You can save your files on your device or in the cloud.
I didn't have any bad experience with the app, but if I had to scan a file that can't be watermarked, I would have to pay for the premium version

I am using CamScanner on a daily basis since 2013. Have testes the competition and nothing even comes near it for my needs.
CamScanner is unbeaten in scanning documents with your phone. The quality of converting photos to scan-like images is exceptional. And recently they have upgraded their file management system.
I would love to see OneDrive/Google Drive integration. They are offering space in their cloud service, but it would be even more useful when you could integrate it with other cloud services.

En general esta aplicación es excelente para escanear de documentos y que nos ofrece una amplia variedad de funciones útiles, sin embargo, las mejores opciones solo están disponibles en la versión premium de la aplicación

I have recommended Camscan to coworkers who wish to quickly document student work, answer keys, or lesson plans for online safe-keeping.
I love using Camscan as an educator because it allows me to quickly document things and send that documentation on to my email or Google Drive. I began using this application years ago to scan pictures of student work. I could then save those scanned work samples in folders on Google Drive in order to discuss them and pull them up quickly at parent-teacher conferences. I have also used this app for personal matters such as scanning important tax documents or school dimploas and professional certificates.
I dislike the fact that you must pay to have the Camscan watermark removed from scans. At times, the watermark covers important parts of the document and can be an inconvenience.
