Turn paper into searchable PDFs, right in your browser.

Scanlio is a document scanner for your phone or computer. Point your camera at a page, and Scanlio finds the edges, straightens and cleans it up, reads the text so you can search it later, and saves it as a PDF, PNG or JPG — optionally straight into your Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud Drive folder.

No sign-up needed to scan. Cloud storage is optional.

What Scanlio does

Everything you need to digitise receipts, contracts, notes and book pages.

📷

Auto-detect & auto-capture

Live edge detection finds the page and snaps the photo automatically when you hold still.

✂️

Crop & straighten

Drag the four corners with a magnifier for precise, perspective-corrected pages.

🎨

Scan filters

Color Doc, B&W, Grayscale and High Contrast make text crisp, even in poor light.

🔎

Searchable text (OCR)

Text is recognised on your device so you can search your library by what the pages say.

📄

PDF, PNG or JPG

Export multi-page scans as one PDF, separate PDFs, or one image per page.

☁️

Your cloud, your folder

Send scans to Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud Drive and pick the destination folder. Uploads queue while you're offline.

How it works

Three steps from paper to file.

  1. Capture

    Open Scanlio, allow camera access and scan one or many pages — or import photos you already have.

  2. Refine

    Adjust the crop, choose a filter, reorder or delete pages.

  3. Save & share

    Name it, add tags, choose PDF / PNG / JPG, and optionally upload to the cloud folder you pick.

Your data, explained

Scans stay on your device. Documents, text and settings are stored in your browser. Scanlio has no accounts and no servers that receive your files.

How Scanlio uses Google Drive. If you choose to connect Google Drive, Scanlio asks for the drive.file permission only. This lets the app create files and folders and save your scans into the Drive folder you select. It cannot see the rest of your Drive. Scanlio's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is never sold, used for advertising, or shared with others.

OneDrive and iCloud Drive. OneDrive access is used only to list your folder names (so you can choose one) and to save the files you export. iCloud Drive uses your device's folder picker or share sheet.
