About OnlyScans
We believe your personal documents belong only on your device. OnlyScans is an OCR scanner app for Android that captures documents offline and exports searchable PDFs.
From paper to searchable PDF
OnlyScans focuses on a simple Android workflow: capture the document, ID, receipt, or note you need, run offline OCR on the device, organize pages, then export a searchable PDF or image file.
Core Pillars
On-device scanning
Perspective correction, page cleanup, and OCR run in the Android app so each scan can move quickly from camera capture to searchable PDF export.
No account required
You can start scanning without creating an OnlyScans account, which keeps the install path short for people who just need a document scanner.
Focused scanner workflow
OnlyScans keeps document capture, offline OCR, PDF export, and file organization in one Android app with a clear Google Play install path.
Scan ID cards securely
Capture the front and back of an ID card into a single document, with automatic edge detection and MRZ parsing for passports. Like every other scan, ID capture and OCR run offline on your device. OnlyScans is a capture tool for your own documents, not an identity-verification service.
You can also use OnlyScans as a receipt scanner app, an ID card scanner app, or to scan and sign documents — every workflow runs offline on your device.
