Microsoft Lens - PDF Scanner

Turn your phone into a powerful document scanner with Microsoft Lens - PDF Scanner, the app that transforms photos of papers, whiteboards, and handwritten notes into clean, editable digital files in seconds.

Whether you're in a meeting, classroom, or office, capturing information has never been easier. Microsoft Lens automatically trims, enhances, and sharpens your images to make them crystal clear and OCR-ready. No more squinting at blurry photos or struggling to read notes taken from across the room — the app handles the heavy lifting, so your scans look professionally processed every time.

Convert your captures into the format that works best for you. Save as PDF for archival, Word for editing and collaboration, PowerPoint for presentations, or Excel for data tables. Your digitized documents flow seamlessly into OneDrive for cloud backup and access anywhere, OneNote for organized note-taking, or your local device for offline use. This flexibility means you're never locked into one workflow.

At work, speed matters. Scan receipts and expense documents in bulk, photograph whiteboards at the end of meetings to lock in action items, and capture business cards to auto-populate your contacts. Handwritten or printed meeting notes become searchable, editable text that you can share with colleagues in minutes. Your team stays aligned without the paper trail.

Students benefit just as much. Photograph classroom handouts, lecture slides, or blackboard notes and instantly convert them to editable Word or OneNote documents. Handwritten study notes transform into searchable digital text, making revision faster and more efficient. With tight integration into OneNote, organizing class materials and research becomes intuitive — everything syncs automatically so nothing gets lost between devices.

You can also import images already saved on your device using Gallery, giving you a second chance to digitize old photos or paper documents you've already captured. The app works offline too, so you can scan and enhance images without an internet connection, then sync when you reconnect.

Microsoft Lens - PDF Scanner puts professional-grade document scanning in your pocket, saving hours of manual data entry and keeping your important information accessible, searchable, and ready to share. Download today and transform the way you capture and organize information.
