CamScanner is definitely the best Scanner App in the market. But after the Chinese App ban in 2020 - it is not possible to download CamScanner in India.
Office Lens is a free app offered by Microsoft & is available for both iOS & Android devices. This app seamlessly integrates with all the Microsoft Office products but fails to offer as many features as other apps on this list. With Office Lens, you can easily convert your scanned documents to a PDF, Word, or PPT Format.
Genius Scan is another great scanning app that is available on both iOS & Android devices. Genius Scan offers great quality PDF Scanning & export but it has its own set of issues. Multiple features which you can find on other apps for free are chargeable on this app.
There are pros & cons with every scanning app but our recommendation would be the Kaagaz Scanner App for a seamless & easy to use experience. There are 100s of PDF Scanner apps in the market but you should pick one based on your needs & requirements. Happy Scanning!
