Scanning pages one at a time is tedious. Open app, scan, save, open app, scan, save—repeated for every single page of a 20-page report. Then you have 20 separate files to combine. It's a workflow designed for frustration.
Batch scanning changes everything. Start one session, scan all pages continuously, get one multi-page document at the end. A 20-page report takes the same effort as a 2-page letter—just keep scanning until done.
For professionals handling contracts, students digitizing textbooks, or anyone dealing with multi-page documents, batch scanning isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential for practical document digitization.
After capturing one page, the camera immediately readies for the next. No "save" dialogs, no app navigation—just flip to the next page and scan. The workflow stays uninterrupted until you're done.
AI-powered edge detection identifies document boundaries in real-time. When a page is properly positioned and stable, capture happens automatically. No need to tap—just hold steady for a moment.
Live counter shows how many pages you've scanned: "Page 1", "Page 2", up to "Page 100". You always know where you are in long documents. No losing track mid-scan.
Large documents don't crash the app. ScanLens processes images efficiently, freeing memory as you go. Scan 50, 80, 100 pages without slowdown—even on older iPhones with limited RAM.
After scanning, view all pages as thumbnails in a scrollable grid. Quick visual overview of the entire document. Spot blank pages, upside-down scans, or missed pages at a glance.
Pages out of order? Long-press and drag any thumbnail to its correct position. Scanned the appendix before the introduction? Just drag to rearrange. No need to rescan in correct order.
Swipe to delete bad scans, blank pages, or duplicates. Remove page 7 without affecting pages 1-6 and 8-20. Keep the good scans, discard the rest.
Page 12 came out blurry? Tap to rescan just that page. The new scan replaces the old one in the same position. Fix problems without starting over.
Missed a page? Insert new scans at any position in the document. Add page 5a between pages 5 and 6. Complete control over document structure.

Legal documents often span 10-50 pages. Batch scan the entire contract in one session. Page numbers ensure correct order. One PDF for the complete agreement.
Students digitizing study materials can scan entire chapters quickly. Use Book Mode for two pages per capture, doubling speed. A 30-page chapter takes minutes, not an hour.
Monthly expense reports with dozens of receipts? Scan all receipts in one batch. Each receipt becomes a page in a single expense PDF. Accounting simplified.
Patient files often include multiple forms, test results, and notes. Batch scan the complete file. Organized, searchable digital records for each patient.
Converting paper archives to digital? Batch scanning makes mass digitization practical. Folder by folder, box by box—systematic conversion of years of documents.
Capture all whiteboard photos and handwritten notes from a meeting. One document per meeting with all visuals in sequence. Reference materials preserved together.
Before scanning, organize pages in correct order. Remove staples and paper clips. Flatten folded documents. A prepared stack scans faster than sorting during capture.
Set up in a well-lit area with even lighting. Shadows and glare slow down auto-capture as the system waits for optimal conditions. Good lighting means faster scanning.
Use a dark, non-reflective background. A dark desk or black paper helps edge detection. The camera distinguishes document edges more clearly against contrasting background.
Auto-capture triggers when the image stabilizes. Hold the phone steady for a moment after positioning each page. Stability equals faster capture.
ScanLens supports up to 100 pages per document. This covers even lengthy contracts, entire textbook chapters, or comprehensive reports. Memory-efficient processing ensures smooth scanning even with large batches on older devices.
