What you need
Steps
Open the Camera app and point it at the document. The phone detects the page edges and shows a scan button, so tap that instead of the normal shutter.
Hold still while the page is captured. One UI 9 straightens the document and cleans up shadows and moiré patterns on its own.
Check the preview. Use the option to remove your fingers from the edge and fix folded corners, then save the scan as an image or a PDF.
To clean up a photo you already took, open it in Samsung Gallery and use the document scan option. It works without taking the picture again.
For notes, open Samsung Notes, tap the scan icon and capture pages automatically or manually. The scans stay attached to the note for offline reading.
In Google Drive, tap the plus button, choose Scan and capture each page. Crop, rotate and clean up marks, then save the pages as one PDF in the cloud.
In WhatsApp, open a chat, tap the attach icon and choose Document, then Scan. The page is sent without switching to another app.
If a scan looks dull, open it in Galaxy Enhance-X and apply the cleanup options to reduce shadows, blur and unwanted patterns.
Open Samsung My Files and tap any scanned PDF to preview it. You do not need a separate reader app.
Tips and common mistakes
Lay the page on a flat, contrasting surface and shoot from directly above so the edges stay square.
Use even, indirect light, since your own shadow is the most common reason a scan comes out dark.
Save as PDF when you need to email or print the file, and keep images for quick sharing.
Some scanning options depend on your Galaxy model, app version and region, so update your apps first.
Questions
Where do my scanned documents get saved?
Scans made in the Camera app land in Samsung Gallery, usually in a scans or documents album. Scans made in Google Drive save straight to your Drive account.
Can I scan several pages into one file?
Yes. Google Drive scanning lets you add page after page before you save, and the whole set becomes a single PDF.
Do I need to install a scanner app?
No. The Camera, Gallery, Samsung Notes, Google Drive and WhatsApp can all scan pages on their own.
