Document scanner

You can scan documents right in the Yandex Disk app. With it, you can scan documents using Smart Camera and then save them in PNG, PDF, or JPG format. The scanner automatically increases the contrast, selects the text area, and adjusts the alignment of the image.

Use one of the following methods:

  • Tap More in the bottom right corner and select Scanner.
  • Tap and select Scan.
