Pagebird: PDF Document Scanner

Pagebird is a document scanner that turns paper into clean PDF files with your phone camera. It is made for anyone who needs to scan receipts, contracts, forms, ID cards, notes or book pages, with no ads and no account. After a one-time setup download of the scanner from Google Play services, it works offline. Point your camera at a page and the scanner finds the edges, straightens the page and captures it for you. Scan one page or a whole stack, fix the order, and share a sharp PDF. Your documents are processed on your device and are never uploaded.
