We tested CamScanner Premium, Genius Scan Ultra by The Grizzly Labs, Microsoft Lens, PhotoScan by Google Photos, and SwiftScan Pro by Maple Media. To help you choose the best scanner app, we tested five scanner apps on our iPhone, scanning several boxes of photos and documents. Scanner apps can help you archive personal documents or family vacation photos, turn tax forms into portable document format (PDF) documents, capture travel receipts for expense reports or turn school handouts into readable text. The best scanner apps for mobile devices help you capture images with minimal distortion, save them in useful forms and share the files online easily - without the need for a cumbersome desktop scanner.
