  • Choose between Single or Multi-page mode
  • Position your document within the camera frame
  • The app will automatically detect document edges
  • Tap the white capture button to take the photo
  • Review and edit the document if needed

Is FlexiScanner free to use?

FlexiScanner offers both free and premium tiers. The free version includes basic scanning functionality, while the premium version unlocks advanced features like OCR text recognition, multi-page scanning, digital signatures, and priority support.

Yes — the mobile app supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, and can automatically match your device's language.

Features & Functionality

What file formats does FlexiScanner support?

FlexiScanner creates PDF documents from your scanned images. The app focuses on PDF creation as the primary output format for document scanning.

Is there a limit to how much I can store?

Free accounts include a limited amount of cloud storage (10MB); Premium plans include much more (15GB). You can check your current usage under Profile in the web dashboard.

How does OCR text recognition work?

Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology automatically extracts text from your scanned documents. This makes your documents searchable and allows you to copy text directly from scans. OCR is available for premium users.

Can I organize my documents into folders?

Yes! FlexiScanner allows you to create custom folders and organize your documents by category, date, or any system that works for you.

How do I share my scanned documents?

You can share documents in several ways:
  • Share as PDF files via email or messaging apps
  • Export to other apps on your device
  • Create shareable links (premium feature)
  • Save to your device's file system

Why can't I share documents from the web dashboard without Premium?

On mobile, you can share documents directly via your device's share menu, with a limited number of free shares included each month. On the web dashboard, all sharing is link-based, so it's included as part of Premium.

What's included in the Premium subscription?

Premium subscribers get:
  • OCR text recognition
  • Multi-page scanning
  • Increased Cloud Storage
  • Digital signatures
  • Advanced sharing options
  • Priority customer support

You can reset your password from the mobile app's sign-in screen using the "Forgot Password" option.
