Scanning App for Android?

Saw an ad for an app that lets you scan/edit pictures and documents to your phone. I have so many things I’d like to save but scanning them one by one on the printer will take forever.

I understand that newer Androids have this feature but mine is older.

Anyone have a rec for an app?

You mean something like this?

Or for documents:

I use doc scan for my iPhone. It works well.

Google says it works for androids also.

I have a fairly old Pixel and I use PhotoScan.

I have an Android and have used CamScanner for years. Works great.

I’ll jump in and ask what it is that you want to do here. Are you scanning documents or pics just to get them into a digital format? Or are you scanning perhaps family pictures that you’d like to be of good quality?

If the latter let me suggest you use a scanning service since they will have a professional-quality scanner that will give much higher quality scans than you’ll get from a phone. Personally I used ScanCafe but there are other services out there and they all are always running “sales”. Also it’s worth mentioning that if you have original negatives the services can scan those and the resulting resolution will be higher than if they scan a print.

Mostly pictures. I think I’d go broke if I sent all the pictures to a scanning service.

I suppose it would make sense to weed out some of the albums…
