- In this video, I will show you how to scan documents using your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. I am using a Galaxy S20 Ultra in this video, but you can also use a Note 10 Plus, S10 Plus, Note 9, etc.
Document scanning ability is built-in to most android based samsung galaxy smartphones, so it is free and works like a charm.

Thank you for the useful tip , but this would have been better if we could have the functionality to save the document as a pdf , which is more commonly used than an image file
Theres an app for that convert to PDF:)
I would also like to know how to convert to PDF
In iPhone note app we can do convert to pdf with best and clear quality. Send or share with others that pdf
Thanks Saki, my S10+ just keeps getting better with your tips, love it even more after a year of purchasing :) Cheers
But how do you turn it to pdf?
@@rolandobenedetty4358 after scanning go to gallery than press the 3 dots and press print and save as pdf

But damn what type of mechanism he got his phone put in 😂
I didn't expect MIUI to do quite a few things better than OneUI when I bought a Xiaomi phone. The camera app in MIUI has a separate Document mode, it automatically detects the corners and saves the cropped photo instantly without the unnecessary steps here. It saves a lot of time when you have to scan many pages. And the smart detection here in OneUI doesn't always work.
Thank you for ur video!! I literally almost paid $3.99 weekly or $69.00 yearly just to download a scanning app for my attorney to receive documents...Im not tech savvy but u definitely helped me 😊
Thank you Saki...finally can scan with my S10. Had to go into settings and enable what you demonstrated. Much obliged.
Actually a really useful feature for me. I always have to take pictures of my receipts and resize the images for work. Now I just need to trade in this damn iPhone. I’ve always been an iPhone fan but I had a galaxy s9 for awhile and sold it. I’ve missed that phone ever since lol. Keep the videos coming, awesome job 😎👍
iPhones have the same scan feature in the notes app. Actually works better for me since it saves as pdf my moms s10 saves as a image - not sure why
Hey Saki, I've learned so much about my note 9 since I started watching your channel, your knowledge is unmatched. Thank you for every single tip,trick and tutorial. I never could understand why people paid such outrageous prices for a cellphone. Now after obtaining and getting personal with my note 9; my mind is fully blown
“Who else likes watching Sakitech💎”
(I hope you are doing well!)
Hello, sir! I love this option. I have been using it for a long time. I was wondering if you know if I can manually make my camera recognize it as a document. There are things I need to scan that sometimes my phone doesn't recognize it as a document and won't bring up the option to scan. Sometimes it does this for my son's blueprints for his architectural engineering class. I really need it to do it and can't. Thanks ahead of time. I appreciate your video.
Other than it removes a step (cut-and-paste) from taking a photo and editing, what is the point of scan? Are the files smaller than a photo?
Damn I love Samsung devices(preferably note 10+). You can do soooooooooo much on this phone.
Puzzles me why people are still getting iPhones
I have same phone but no preview after shoot the photo ...happen to you too ?
Scanned doc saved as jpg or pdf?
can you save it as pdf though?
actually you can. once the scanned image is saved in galley, open the options and look for "print" from there you can save as pdf.
Thanks, but it is too complicated. It should be possible to save the scan directly in PDF...
Yep
Thank u I got it, with the COVID 19 ...I have avoided going out to outsource
Wow Saki!
What a great way to digitize years' worth of old field notebooks, then get rid of them but still have all the data.
The tripod you were using seemed great for setting up my S10 Note to do "mass production" digitation of page after page, notebook after notebook of handwritten notes.
HOWEVER, I could not make out the brand/model of the tripod you used in your video. It sure seems better than anything I already have.
I ALSO WONDER what success you have had in converting your digitized, handwritten notebooks to text for indexing, searching, and possibly printing sort-after pages in the future -- THE HOLY GRAIL of digitization.
Wow. This is very helpful.
It's perfectly working on my Samsung Galaxy A50s.
Perfect! It would be nice to have something like that that could make PDF files too so you could add the front and back of driver's licenses, insurance cards, etc. Adobe Scan does, but it stores the information on their web site and of course that stuff is to private to do be able to do that. If it was a pdf you could store it in a password manager which is highly secure and private.
Thanks for your videos. Not sure what happened to my document scanner on my phone but after watching your video, I figured out the glitch. Thanks again 😊
I know this is about Samsung, but doing this in Google drive is much easier. Using Google Drive allows you to use to quickly upload the document (and if you choose to use the quick menu to upload the document.)
The document will be uploaded as a PDF which can then be edited.
doesnt work on my s21+ or s20FE. Not sure if there has been an update that removes this feature but it doesnt work as indicated in the video
Cool. Didn't know this was available in the native camera app. I always used Google drive to scan all of my documents. Nice to know that there's another option! Thanks!
Nice to know but Google Drive, and Adobe can do it with one button as a PDF which is what is preferred business format, especially for audits.
It’s not giving me an option for adjustments after scan it automatically saves as image.how can I fix this
Your not on the latest update.
Mine doesn't either.. And I am on the latest update One UI 2.1. Would love to know how to turn that preview on. I've looked through all the settings and can't find it.
Ditto. Note 10 + 5G 2.1 update
Maybe it's a s20 thing. I have the s20 and mine does exactly what his did in the video
Mine is s10 note plus with the UI 2.0 update, but this issue is there even before updates came.
My Note 20 Ultra seems to make documents blurry. My Note 10 Plus was much better. Really regretted trading in during the pre order. Should have waited for reviews
This is awesome. Thanks Saki. Does this work for multiple page scanning and can we use this function while in whatsapp as an attachment?
Thank you so much man!..you saved me soooo many trips to the fax machine!
what about documents that have many pages that I would like to scan in to one pdf file? as opposed to many pictures of just one file? tks
Thank you sakitech for your good work.
The scan preview doesn't work on my galaxy note 10 plus is there any option I forgot?
Do you have the answer Mr. Sakitech ? As I have the same problem. BTW thank you for all your video’s
Sorry, on my Note 10 plus
The scan tool is good and all but tiny scanner pro app is 1000x better in terms of quality because it has you move the camera to at least 4 different spots on the page/document and stitches it together for a perfect scan.
Nice vid Sak!
I prefer to use scan in Google drive. It saves documents in PDF format instead of jpeg.
A preview of the scanned document doesn't appear. Are there settings for that?
Your not on the latest software.
@@nickb6162 I have a Note 10 with all the latest updates (One UI 2.1 etc), scene optimizer is on and scan documents are enabled but no preview shows up. I think it's only enabled on the s20 line of phones.
@@justjeepin I think you are correct. I have a s20. It wasn't doing it until I updated my phone.
Thanks! Great video. I turned this off by accident. So helpful!
amazing and thank you for sharing this easy to follow system for scans
Still doesn't scan
I have an s20 Effie and Martin doesn't even have that little blue thing that he says when I bring up my camera
Thank you, instruction super clear!! I'm subscribing!!
Thank you for this i didn't know how to scan documents from UK stay safe.
Great video. So what is the difference from taking a photo of the document??
A useless crop?
It detects the document, applies a crop to the detected document which normally only takes up part of the frame. Because it is difficult to adjust the phone so that it is perpendicular to the document the rectangular document is registered as distorted (trapezoidal) Samsung apply a transform adjustment, like you might do in Photoshop, to produce a rectangular undistorted copy of your document. Very handy.
@@ianyorke2617 Wow great answer thanks!!👍👍👍
Same as taking a photo of the document. What are the additional benefits?
Thank you so much
From KSA 👍💚🇸🇦🌹
I get no option to save or delete it automatically saves it to my gallery photo I can not adjust image like your video using note 10 plus
Same here. It just takes a picture and that's it.
Wow! Tried it on my note 9. Still great phone.
Is this feature available on both the exynos and snapdragon version? Or only on the snapdragon version?
Saki, do you have a suggestion as to how to troubleshoot the document scanner when it is NOT TURNING ON? I have a Samsung FE S20 and have been using the scanner (which came up automatically on my camera app.when detecting text) since I got my phone over a year ago. Today, I tried to scan a letter but the option to did not show, then I realized I had not seen thus in some time. I followed your instructions exactly, still it does not enable. Any idea what could be happened?? Thanks, Sasha.
Thank bro your very helpful on a lot of your videos
Thank you sakitech, good video as always.
Sir, on the S20...once you've scanned the documents. How can you make the size of it smaller, let's say, like less than 2mb?
Luv your videos. Always professionally done and very helpful tips.
This works AMAZING!... I've really have been TRYING to remember to scan ALL receipts/deposits etc... saves a lot of clutter! Even though I'm not comfortable with throwing away originals yet? I do file them at home quickly and know that I have a copy on me, if something comes into question! It's a great feature... I do wish Samsung would File them under Scanned Documents, etc... or maybe there's a way to get to them faster in My Files? But I do Tag Them... like Best Buy, March 29th/16in MacBook Pro... etc! So their easier to find!
Thanks for explaining
Lots of questions on here. Does Saki ever answer these?? Just curious.
Good video but wow once trying to use it, it was nowhere as easy to use as my personal fav Mobile Doc Scanner. It lets you change types of docs, and numerous other features. Nice that this is available but I agree with others that it's basically a jpg but labeled as a document 🙄. Can't make it a PDF etc. Not that helpful but that's Samsung not sak! Thanks for taking the time to explain and help us users out!
Good tip. Maybe some vids. about Developer Options.
Do you know if there is a way to scan double sided or will I have to scan both sides?
Thank you my dude!
This feature apparently OCRs words into the meta info on the scan. I scan a lot of receipts and they get backed up to Google photos. I can then search for the store name from receipts and a lot of the time it'll pull up the receipts I'm looking for. It's not perfect but works more times than not.
Thanks...very informative and to the point.
I don't get the "Tap to Scan" option
Me either.
thank you. any ideas why it sometimes gives me the scan option and sometimes not? my blue circle and there and all the things you say in this video. it's very frustrating. thanks for any ideas.
What's the difference between this and just taking a picture of the document?
When scanned it's saved as a PDF file and not just a JPEG.
@@jamiecollett8840 ok coo.
@@jamiecollett8840 that's not true. At least not with my Note 10+. It's saving the shot as a JPG format, which is the same as a regular photo. (Note 10+ AT&T One UI 2.1)
Thanks, mine seems to have disappeared. How does this print, does a grey background apper?
Is this supposed to do OCR? Convert the scanned image into editable text? If so, how do you get to the editable text?
How does this feature perform with photos? I hope to use them for a short video feature. Any advice? I'll try it and report.
Does it save as a jpg or pdf? How does it compare to the scanners from Microsoft, Google and paid third party apps (CamScanner, etc).
Wowwww useful tips...!!! Thanks
Very useful tip. Thanks.
Thank you. I needed your help😃
Thank you very much.
Hello sir,
Please describe which gadgets use with your phone in description. It is also help us.
can you scan photos? I'm looking to scan some old paper photos.
Excelent video ty amigo mio
Great, thanks
Thank you so much for saving my life😀
Can multiple documents be sent through the scan if you're sending them through email ?
What does it mean when it highlights the document but doesn't offer a tap to scan button. It is a very clear image, good size text, displayed on at TV screen, looking straight at the image. I have identical images, just different words that it offers the tap to scan if you play with it.
So after I make the scan, then what? Can I edit the document? What's the difference between scanning the document and taking a picture?
Great tip... Great Video!
I like your clips, Sakitech
My question was how do you How do you force it to scan when it doesn't want to
Great tip! thank you!
Thank you so much didn't know I could do this
My phone is saying scan documents is off when I try to scan it, but I have it enabled as you showed.
I have a Note 10plus and have setting done as you have shown. I do not get a scan button to select. Thoughts?
The button only appears when a document is detected in the frame. Works on my Note 10.
I scrolled through some of the comments but did not see anything regarding distorted scans. If I scan a letter-sized page it squashes the scan vertical. The page is "shorter" and the text on page is compressed somewhat. Sort of like an 8.5x11 page becomes 8.5.x10 or 8.5x9 if that makes any sense?
Mine seems to switch itself off periodically I couldn't find how to switch it back on - even with a search in the settings. Thank you!
Thx for your very useful tips.
Unfortunately the scan option is very primitive (works only if recognize automatically, no manual starting, can't scan multiple pages etc) so no need to bother with it...
The Scene Optimizer tab can only be enabled or disabled but does not select to the Document Scan page in the Note 9.
Thanks, was helpful
Man where was this tech for my college shit
Hay guys ! I own Note 9 512GB about 3 weeks and its on Android 8.1.0 version ! Should I upgrade to new version to have this feature because on factory version this feature not exist ! Thanks for any advice ! One more ? Can any here guys have an experience about upgrading to new Android for my new Note 9 512GB 8.1.0 ! Does phone run faster or even slowly ? I am not sure about it so I will stay with 8.1.0 version on Note 9 ! Can you scaned document convert in PDF ? Nice presentation !
Does anyone know how to force the scan? I need to scan some other things, like cards, that are not clearly a document and it doesn't recognize it to scan
I updated my phone recently and now the blue "t" box is gone with the option to scan my photos into a document. I went to my settings and followed your directions, but I'm still not seeing the option as I did prior to my update. I used this option nearly everyday. Can you help me restore it? 😊
Hi Sak, thanks for the tip. Now my note 10+ doesn't do the preview to fine tune. What am I doing wrong?
Need free video editing software or application for galaxy note 10 plus
When I scan any document using my note 10 it looks exactly as it is unlike the iPhone looks like it was scanned by a scanner and it even improves the photo in case your shadow was there, any idea?
iOS scans are better. As soon as you open the scanner it’s detects the document automatically to its size and scans it. Android can learn form here.
Wow. Thats way easier than IOS!
I really hope A50 will get OneUI 2.1 soon
Saved me, thanks a lot!
will it work with anythine i.e chore lists?
What I find difficult, is when the background is not a contrasting color , (similar to white, or page color) tap to scan does not appear, any solutions to scan if you do not have access to what you want to scan and place it in a more contrasting setting? (or any app that can help with that? Samsung galaxy note 9 user here)
