About This App

Document Scanner (Doc Scanner) is an AI-powered document scanning and PDF creation app built by Lufick Technology Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. With over 100 million downloads and a 4.6-star rating from 2.6 million reviews on Google Play, it's one of the most popular Indian-made scanner apps and a direct Made-in-India alternative to CamScanner and Adobe Scan. The app offers six scan modes โ€” Document, ID Card, Book, Photo, QR/Barcode, and OCR Text โ€” covering virtually every scanning need. AI-powered edge detection automatically identifies document boundaries with roughly 90% accuracy, and nine color filters (B&W, color, lighten, dark, etc.) optimize scan quality. Advanced PDF tools include merge, split, image-to-PDF conversion, password protection, and compression that reduces file size with minimal quality loss. The signature scanner lets you import and edit signatures with darken, opacity, and blend controls. Cloud sync with Google Drive and Dropbox, direct printing, and faxing round out the feature set. The app is free to download and use with ads. In-app purchases starting from Rs 137 remove ads and unlock premium features. Compared to CamScanner (which has been banned in India for data security concerns) and Adobe Scan (free but with limited features), Document Scanner offers a comprehensive feature set at a fraction of the cost while keeping data within an Indian company's control. Best suited for students, professionals, and small business owners who need to digitize documents, receipts, ID cards, and books on the go. The OCR with multi-language support makes it particularly useful for Indian users working with regional language documents. Power users who need advanced PDF editing or batch processing at scale may find dedicated PDF tools like Adobe Acrobat more capable.

Honest Review

4.6/5 on Google Play Store (2.6M+ reviews) ยท Last verified 2026-04-25

What works well

  • +100M+ downloads with 4.6-star rating โ€” proven and battle-tested by millions of Indian users
  • +Six scan modes (Document, ID Card, Book, Photo, QR/Barcode, OCR) covering all common scanning needs
  • +AI edge detection with ~90% accuracy โ€” minimal manual cropping needed
  • +Comprehensive PDF toolkit โ€” merge, split, compress, password protect, and convert in one app
  • +Made in India โ€” data stays with an Indian company, unlike banned CamScanner
  • +Multi-language OCR support โ€” works with regional Indian language documents

What needs improvement

  • -Free version contains ads โ€” can be intrusive during scanning workflow
  • -OCR accuracy is good but not perfect โ€” complex layouts and handwritten text can be unreliable
  • -No web or desktop version โ€” mobile-only, which limits batch processing capability
  • -Cloud sync options limited to Google Drive and Dropbox โ€” no OneDrive or iCloud integration
  • -UI design feels functional but dated compared to Adobe Scan's cleaner interface

Common user complaints

  • !Ad frequency is too high in the free version โ€” ads appear between scans and interrupt workflow
  • !No quick way to add notes or tags to scanned pages โ€” document organization could be better
  • !File naming and organization features are basic โ€” hard to manage large document libraries
  • !Some users report occasional crashes during batch scanning of many pages
  • !Dark mode not available โ€” strains eyes during extended scanning sessions
