Scan and edit documents on your Galaxy phone or tablet

Scanning a document, whether you’re using a book or a piece of paper, will automatically remove unwanted shadows, hands, and other items that may be on the document itself. Scanning will also align rectangular shapes so your document will appear perfectly straight and legible. Once you’re finished scanning, you can edit the document in the Samsung Notes app.

1. To begin, navigate to and open the Camera app on your phone or tablet, and then line up the viewfinder with the document.
2. Tap Scan when it appears. Your device will begin scanning the document.
   
   
3. Once the document has finished scanning, tap Save.
   
   Note: If needed, tap Retake to scan the document again.
4. The document will be saved in the Gallery app, where you can view it at a later time.
5. To open the document in the Samsung Notes app, first navigate to and open Samsung Notes, and then tap New note (the pencil icon). Tap Attach (the paper clip icon), then tap Image, and then tap Gallery.
   
   
6. Select the document, and then tap Done. The document will be available in your note, where you can edit it to your liking.
7. You can also import and export the document as a PDF in the Samsung Notes app.

Your scanned and edited documents can be shared with  colleagues or friends using Nearby Share, Quick Share, or Private Share.

You can also use a cloud option to store and share your documents, including Samsung Cloud, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive.
