Open the app, scan your document, review the result, and save it locally. Skani keeps the workflow simple while giving you the tools that matter for professional document capture, including a fast camera scan, native Smart Scan, high-quality black-and-white PDF defaults, searchable OCR text, PDF highlighting, flexible OCR text export, and fast access to saved documents.

It is not a general photo scanner with document features added later. The experience is optimized around creating useful PDF files that are easy to read, easy to find, and easy to share. For black-and-white documents, Skani is optimized for crisp, high-quality output by default. For documents that need more detail, you can keep grayscale or color. Quality options let you choose between smaller file sizes and higher-resolution PDFs depending on what the document needs. Built For - Students saving notes, assignments, and forms - Business users scanning invoices, receipts, and contracts - Truck drivers saving delivery documents and trip paperwork - Accountants organizing records and tax documents - Lawyers keeping document copies ready to share - Home users digitizing important papers
