Is there a Scanner Pro version for Android?

No. Scanner Pro by Readdle is an Apple-only app — it runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, but there is no Android release. If you are on Android and looking for a Scanner Pro-style experience, ScannerFlow is built for Android from the ground up and adds an AI layer on top of scanning.

Is ScannerFlow a good alternative to Scanner Pro?

Yes, especially on Android. It covers the same core jobs — auto-crop, clean enhancement, OCR, and multi-page PDF export — and adds AI you can use on the document after you scan it: ask what a contract says, summarize a report, or pull out clean text. Scanner Pro is an excellent iOS scanner; ScannerFlow is the AI-native option for Android users.

Does ScannerFlow have good OCR like Scanner Pro?

ScannerFlow runs OCR on-device automatically after each scan, so your documents are searchable and the text is copyable right away — no manual step. Because it runs on your phone, the recognition happens without uploading the page just to read it.

ScannerFlow is free to download and free to try on Android. A subscription unlocks the full app, including the AI features and unlimited scanning. We do not advertise it as "free unlimited" — it is an honest free trial of a subscription product.

Are my documents private in ScannerFlow?

Your scans are saved to encrypted cloud storage (Google Cloud / Firebase), encrypted in transit and at rest, while OCR runs on-device. There are no ads or third-party ad SDKs, and we do not sell your data.

The best Scanner Pro alternative for Android

Scanner Pro by Readdle is a superb scanner — but it only runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. If you are on Android, ScannerFlow is the natural switch: a clean, ad-free, AI-native document scanner where you can scan anything and then chat with it, summarize it, and pull out its text.

Why people look for a Scanner Pro alternative

Scanner Pro is a favorite on iOS. The reasons to look elsewhere are usually about platform and what happens after the scan.

🤖

You switched to Android

The most common reason by far: there is no Android version of Scanner Pro, so anyone moving off iPhone needs a new scanner. ScannerFlow is Android-first.

💬

You want AI, not just capture

Scanner Pro captures and OCRs beautifully, but it is a scanning tool. ScannerFlow lets you ask questions about a document and get summaries right after scanning it.

🧭

You don't want a whole suite

Scanner Pro is part of Readdle's wider family of apps. If you just want one focused scanner, a self-contained app is less to manage.

💸

You want to try before paying

ScannerFlow is free to download and free to try, so you can scan and export a few documents before deciding whether the subscription is worth it.

To be fair: Scanner Pro is one of the best scanners on Apple devices, with excellent OCR and a refined interface. If you live entirely in the Apple ecosystem, it is a great tool. This page is for the people it doesn't reach — Android users.

Why ScannerFlow

Why Android users pick ScannerFlow

An AI-native scanner that's clean, mobile-first, and private by default.

AI-native, not bolted on

Scan a document, then chat with it. Ask questions, get summaries, and pull out text with smart OCR — the AI understands what it's reading instead of just photographing it.

Clean, no-clutter design

A focused, easy-to-use interface with no popup ads interrupting your scan. You point, capture, and you're done — exporting clean PDFs in seconds.

Mobile-first on Android

Designed for the phone in your pocket. Auto-edge detection, batch multi-page capture, and one-tap export are tuned for a touchscreen, not ported from a desktop tool.
