An Android app to scan your documents —
simple and
respectful.
Scanning a document should never feel complicated. With FairScan, you get a clean PDF in just a few seconds. The application guides you through a straightforward process so you can focus on your document, not on the tool.
Easy process: 1. scan, 2. preview, 3. save or share
Clear, distraction-free interface
Automatic document detection, crop, and enhancement
Instant share: One tap to export a shareable PDF
FairScan was built on a simple principle: it should serve the interests of its users, not the interests of a business. Its features and code were designed with that perspective in mind.
Privacy: your scans stay on your device. No cloud, no account, no trackers.
Focus: no ads, no nagging to upgrade, only what you need.
Freedom: no watermarks, no page limits, no restrictions on sharing.
Transparency: open-source code, open to review.
Minimal permissions: camera only (and shared storage on older Android versions).
1. Point your phone – FairScan detects the document
2. Preview the scan and adjust if needed
3. Save a PDF on your mobile device or share it instantly
FairScan is free, open-source, and built to respect you — not a business model.

I often describe FairScan as simple and respectful. But what does "respectful" really mean when we talk about apps? We live in a world where there’s an app for everything, and we’re constantly pushed to install more. Yet almost no one talks about "respectful apps". A quick search online gives barely a few hundred results. In other words: it’s not even a topic. So let me explain what I mean when I use that word.
