Frequently Asked Questions

Is ScanLab free?

Using every tool and previewing the result is free. To download your scans, PDFs or extracted text without the watermark, pay once for that result or go Premium.

Are my documents safe?

Every tool processes your files entirely in your browser — they are never sent to a server, which is the most private way to handle documents.

Do I need to install an app?

No. ScanLab works in any modern browser on desktop and mobile. You can also add it to your home screen.

Can I scan with my phone camera?

Yes. Open the Scanner tool on your phone, allow camera access and capture your document directly.

Does OCR work offline?

Text recognition runs locally in your browser. The first run downloads the language data, then it works without sending your image anywhere.

What file types are supported?

You can use JPG, PNG and WebP images and PDF files, and export scans as PDF, JPG or plain text.
