Even though there are a bazillion apps available on Play Store and Apple store which allows scanning documents, photos, identity card and what not; Cam Scanner was one such app which was preferred by a considerable amount of people. The main reason for this was the easy accessibility and user interface of the app.
The Chinese app has grown up to be the one-stop-shop for all your scanning needs and in this way, Cam Scanner has grown considerably. The news of it being banned in India along with 58 other Chinese Pappas was taken not so well by the users but we soon ventured to better alternatives to this.
The app was not removed from the Play store and quite contrary to the far accounting app, Tik Tok; but cannot be used even after downloading. Read on to find out the top 5 alternatives for Cam Scanner!
Adobe Scan
As the name itself suggest, this app is developed by the far accounting Adobe and allows for multiple features. We could take scans of photos, documents, identity cards, etc., save them to Google Drive and share it through the required platforms.
The app is very easy to use and is the perfect alternative to Cam Scanner. Even though in terms of the quality of the scan depends on the phone camera, the app promised a decent scan. Adobe Scan is available to download from the Apple Store or Google Playstore for free of cost.
Microsoft Office Lens
If you are someone who uses the Microsoft ecosystem, then Microsoft Office Lens is your prime alternative. Developed by Microsoft, the application allows scanning all kinds of documents including pictures and identity cards.
The best part of the app is that it allows exporting the scanned documents to Microsoft Word or Microsoft Powerpoint; the Microsoft Office as a whole. The app can be downloaded from Apple Store or Play Store.
PhotoScan
This app developed by Google is applauded for its quality of the scan and the various features it allows. It is also useful if the user wants to scan printed photos and save them as digital copies for future use.
The self-cropping feature and its ability to create digital photos from real counterparts is something that gives the app the edge it deserves. The app can be downloaded from Apple Store or Play Store.
TurboScan
If you are someone who just wants all the features that Cam Scanner was able to provide, then Turbo Scan is the way for you. The sharpening mode of the app allows for better-scanned copies along with auto edge detection, multiple scanning, and more features that made it into the list. The app can be downloaded from Apple Store or Play Store.
