CamScanner<\/a> is a handy, free app that allows users to scan documents without needing a separate scanner<\/strong>. Most of us have been in positions where we need to scan a document, but we don\u2019t have a scanner nearby. Sometimes, you just need to send a scanned copy of your ID or driver\u2019s license, so what do you do if you don\u2019t have a scanner handy? Use an image scanning app, like CamScanner, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use CamScanner App<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CamScanner is a straightforward app to use. It is available for free on Android, iPhone, and Windows devices, making it even more helpful. With CamScanner, there\u2019s no need to invest in expensive scanners. You simply download the app from the Google Play Store. Once you\u2019ve created a free account, you can start using the app to scan documents<\/strong> and other important information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You simply use the app and your phone\u2019s camera to take a photo of the document. The app will enhance it and save it in an appropriate format so that you can easily keep your scans organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is CamScanner used for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CamScanner was initially developed to enable users to scan, store, sync and share<\/strong> essential documents from the convenience of an app on their smartphone. While scanning is the app\u2019s core feature, there are many ways that the app can be used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to scan your receipts for tax purposes using the CamScanner app to take a picture of your receipt and store it securely? Perhaps, HR needs a copy of your ID, and you don\u2019t have a digital copy to send them? You can use CamScanner to take a photo and save it as a PDF which can be sent directly to HR via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 of the best uses for CamScanner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside from simply scanning documents and images, CamScanner has many different uses. Let\u2019s take a look at the six best uses of CamScanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find important images easily<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CamScanner makes it very easy to find important information. The app uses OCR (optical character recognition), which means it can read and understand (to an extent) the text in your scanned document. This means that when you search for scans of a particular topic, all the images that contain those words will be shown in the results. For example, if you\u2019re looking for a recipe that you scanned about chicken pasta, all images containing those words will be shown when you type in \u2018chicken pasta\u2019 in the search bar. This means you can easily find any important information using the search function<\/strong> and OCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convert the format of images and documents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like traditional scanners, when an image or document is scanned using CamScanner, it\u2019s converted into PDF format instead of a .jpg or .png like other images taken with your camera. This means the scan is already optimized to be sent and can also be printed in high quality with good clarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capture information easily<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The app also features advanced crop and enhanced features, making it easier than ever to capture information<\/strong>. You can use the advanced crop features to straighten out and remove any useless information from the scanned document or image. This way, you only keep the most useful information. Furthermore, you can use any of the four different enhancement features<\/strong> to make the pictures clearer and easier to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
