An Android app to scan your documents —
simple and
respectful.
Scanning a document should never feel complicated. With FairScan, you get a clean PDF in just a few seconds. The application guides you through a straightforward process so you can focus on your document, not on the tool.
Easy process: 1. scan, 2. preview, 3. save or share
Clear, distraction-free interface
Automatic document detection, crop, and enhancement
Instant share: One tap to export a shareable PDF
FairScan was built on a simple principle: it should serve the interests of its users, not the interests of a business. Its features and code were designed with that perspective in mind.
Privacy: your scans stay on your device. No cloud, no account, no trackers.
Focus: no ads, no nagging to upgrade, only what you need.
Freedom: no watermarks, no page limits, no restrictions on sharing.
Transparency: open-source code, open to review.
Minimal permissions: camera only (and shared storage on older Android versions).
1. Point your phone – FairScan detects the document
2. Preview the scan and adjust if needed
3. Save a PDF on your mobile device or share it instantly
FairScan is free, open-source, and built to respect you — not a business model.

FairScan's results are not always as good as you might expect. Unlike many commercial apps, FairScan doesn't collect user data to train its algorithms. With the latest release, there is now a simple way to share the images that FairScan doesn't handle well, and to turn those limitations into concrete improvements.
Not yet. It may come one day, but it's not planned short-term.
FairScan focuses on fast, automatic processing so you can get a PDF in a few seconds. Manual adjustments are limited to rotating and reordering pages.
I'm not comfortable accepting donations at the moment. The most helpful way to support FairScan is by leaving a Play Store review or spreading the word to people who might benefit from it. Thank you!
