Zoho Scanner is a document scanner that helps students, freelancers, and small business teams turn paper into searchable PDFs and images, using text recognition and e-signatures.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for people who deal with paper they need to keep: students scanning notes and exam papers, small business owners filing receipts and invoices, admin teams capturing business cards and contracts, and anyone who needs a clean copy of an ID or official document. A good fit if you already keep documents in a cloud drive.
WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR
• Scan ID cards, passports, and official documents to keep a clear copy on hand
• Scan receipts, bills, and invoices so expenses get filed as they happen, not at month end
• Pull editable text out of printed pages and notes, and translate it into 17 languages
• Sign contracts and forms and email them back without printing anything
• Scan business cards so contact details are saved instead of lost
HOW IT WORKS
Scan — Point your iPhone or iPad camera at a page and Zoho Scanner finds the document's edges, so you get a straight, cropped scan instead of a photo of a page. Handles multi-page documents and imports from your photo library. Crop, edit, rotate, reorder pages, filter and annotate, then share as a PDF or an image.
Extract text — Text Recognition pulls the words out of a scan so you can edit them, find a document by what's inside it, and share the text as a file.
Translate — Turn a scanned document into any of 17 languages, including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, then send it as a file or paste it in a message.
E-sign — Add your signature, initials, name, and the date to a scan, powered by Zoho Sign, so you don't need a printer and a scanner to return a form.
Organize — Use folders, reminders, and tags to keep documents findable. Zoho Scanner suggests tags from a document's content, and Zia Lens sorts scans into documents, receipts, and business cards, then alerts you when new documents appear in your photos.
Share and automate — Send scans by email or iMessage, or upload to Zoho WorkDrive, Zoho Expense, Zoho Notebook, Photos, or your own cloud drive. Build a workflow once and its actions run in the order you set, so filing a receipt is one tap instead of five.
