Luckily, were here to show you how to get professional-looking scans on your phone.
This works on both Android and iOS, but weve illustrated it using an iPhone.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

Then simply search CamScanner (all one word) and download that app.
Dont worry, its free!
In this instance, were going to take a new photo.

So, tap on the appropriate icon and allow the app to access your camera.
Ive chosen the contents page from William Strunks Elements of Style as an example.
Now just click that button!

Step #4: go for the relevant part of the image
I always enjoy this part.
CamScanner lets you crop the picture, so only the relevant part of the scan shows.
Do this by moving the clear circles around the image until you get it perfect.

Then pick the tick in the bottom right corner.
Choose Magic Color here.
This sorts out the contrast and brightness, making the document easy to read.

It looks like youve used a proper scanner.
Anyway, once youve selected Magic Color, nudge the arrow in the bottom right to continue.
Step #6: add more or send!

Youll then be taken to a screen that collects your document.
From here, you could either add more photos to create a collection or share the scanned document.
For example, OCR (optical character recognition) will enable you to search through your scans.

it’s possible for you to also put watermarks on the images you scan.
you’re able to find out more CamScanner, including the premium versions,here.
