What SwiftScan is
SwiftScan is a mobile scanner for creating PDF and JPEG files from documents, receipts, whiteboards, QR codes, and other items. It runs on iOS and Android and offers automatic capture at 200 dpi or higher, cropping, perspective correction, and image optimization. Optical character recognition makes text in scans recognizable, while full-text search creates searchable PDFs. Multipage documents can be assembled, and PDF tools support annotation, highlighting, signatures, text additions or redaction, and page reordering. Files can be uploaded or shared through services including iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Slack, Todoist, OneDrive for Business, Box, FTP, and WebDAV. SwiftScan can send faxes to more than 50 countries; each page uses one credit and charges apply only to successful delivery. The app is free with in-app purchases and includes a free trial.
