Our second app Unfade is live
After months of hard work the day has finally come. Unfade just became available in the App Store. Unfade is an amazing photo scanner that will scan and restore faded photos and makes them look like new again. Scan entire photo albums in minutes to make them last forever and share them with your family.
From the creators of Scanbot
In the last years weâve learned a lot and set the industry standard for scanning apps. Apple nominated our document scanner Scanbot as Best of 2014 & 2015 and also as Editorsâ Choice. We applied the same standards of quality to Unfade and developed an outstanding experience to scan your analog photos with an iOS device. Itâs fast, reliable, with an amazing restoration filter and incredibly easy to use. You have to try this.
Photos are at our heart
Year by year the colors of printed photos fade away. Scanning saves them but we noticed that digitizing old photos hasnât developed in decades. You can either rip out all photos from your albums and place them on a flatbed scanner or you can send them to a service to do it for you. But who would to send out originals?
Unfade changes all of that. Get the app and start scanning without damaging anything or taking risks. Your photos will even look better because our magic color restoration filter does such a good job and the quality is good enough to print them again, if you like. You can also present them in a beautiful way and share them easily.
More to come soon
Of course this is only a 1.0. Instead of integrating everything that we have on our minds we wanted to get the product in your hands early. So stay tuned for a rapid series of additions to come. Weâll offer possibilities to backup your photos, more filters, better sharing and much more soon. Tell us what you think and if weâre forgot something you need here.
Be one of the first and save 40%
Download Unfade today on the App Store. We have a special 40% discount during launch. So be sure to get it now. If you want to help us spread the word we would really appreciate it if you tweet or post about us and recommend it to your friends.

Scanbot 5 is live! Say hello to folders incl. iCloud sync for iOS and Smart Naming for Android
As you know we are listening very closely to our users and we always aim to push things further, so folders are not only looking beautiful but will really help you to stay organized in a smart way. This is especially important as you guys now scan well over 1 Million documents per month with Scanbot.
Folders synchronise exclusively with iCloud Drive to your Mac, Windows PC or iPad. This gives you a great personal document management that just works. The sync also works side-by-side with the Auto-Upload to other clouds.
Start scanning directly into the folder where you want the scan to be placed or change the folder before saving. Everything is integrated smoothly and we polished every interaction to make working with Scanbot a joyful experience.
Folders will be available for all Pro users of the Scanbot for iOS app. If you would like some advice about how to get started with folders please make sure to check out our help section here: How to get started with folders
Move documents fast and intuitively
Furthermore we are happy to announce that we have integrated the Smart Naming feature you love on iOS now also into the latest version of Scanbot for Android. Renaming documents now works by either typing text or use the smart text snippets based on your position, calendar, date and more. As we respect your privacy this is done only locally one your phone. Your documents and the associated information never leaves your phone.
Rename documents by using smart and context aware tags
Weâre thrilled about the positive feedback we get from you constantly and your great reviews in the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store. Thanks a lot and keep it coming to show your support for the best scanner app. The whole team highly appreciates it!
You are very welcome to contact us at [email protected] whenever you require assistance or want to tell us about the next, game changing feature, you would like to see implemented in Scanbot.
avg. rating 4.7 (last 90 days)
Last but not least watch out for Santa! He might have a little surprise for you and your loved ones during the holiday season.
Scanbot 4.3 for iOS with a new "Magic Color Filter"and now over 1 Million documents scanned per month
Scanbot 4.3 for iOS is out now. To check out the new version please update. Besides the usual bugfixes and performance improvements we have included three cool new features:
1) Magic Color Filter:Â It will be available for all users who have upgraded to Scanbot Pro and produces stunning results for text documents. Please refer to an example below: 2) Better Edge Detection: We experimented a lot in this area and now we have included the results in Scanbot 4.3. Edge cases like crumbled documents etc. will no longer be a problem for our smart algorithm.
3) We revised the implementation of âSmart Namingâ. If you use this feature you will immediately recognize the many changes and usability improvements. To sum it up: rename your documents faster than ever!
Furthermore we wanted to let you know that we have passed another important milestone in September: more than one million documents have been scanned in this month using the Android and iOS version of Scanbot. The implementation of the âMagic Color Filterâ and the improved edge detection algorithm in Scanbot for Android will follow soon.
News roundup: What happened since the launch of Scanbot 4?
With this post we want to give you a quick overview about what happened since we have launched Scanbot 4 on the 27th of August 2015.
iOS:
We invested a lot of time to improve the initial implementation of workflows and quick actions and to iron out small but pesky bugs. Furthermore we have of course made Scanbot compliant with iOS 9. But we didnât stop there but we have implemented the complete 3D Touch functionality making use of this exciting feature from Apple. So if you are the lucky owner of an iPhone 6S you can now:
Instantly start scanning single or multipage documents, scan a QR code or start a search with the new Quick Actions feature.
Peek inside documents and perform common actions without having to go back and forth.
As detailed in an earlier update we have also added barcode recognition for the most popular types of barcodes (for details please refer to the post below).
Android:
We have added a completely redesigned onboarding, explaining the features of Scanbot better to new users. Additionally we have redesigned the settings screen to make it easier for users to actually find the setting they want to change, of course this is implemented following the material design guidelines. We also have new quick settings while scanning to toggle QR code detection, auto snapping and more.
Moreover we have developed a lot of fixes and increased the number of devices on which Scanbot will run even further.
Currently, for both operating systems, we are working on a feature which many users have requested persistently. It will still take some time but we hope we can release it soon. This will definitely make the life of many users simpler. Can you guess which feature we are currently developing?
As always if you have any questions or feedback we would love to hear from you! You can contact us directly from Scanbot (Settings â Support) or via email to [email protected].

Quick update - bar code recognition added
Just a quick update: as promised in the recent newsletter to our subscribers we are continuously working on new features to add to Scanbot. We are now delivering on this promise with version 4.0.1. We have added recognition for a wide range of bar codes: UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 39, Code 39 mod 43, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF14, PDF417, Aztec and DataMatrix.
Furthermore we have tweaked some things under the hood and now scanning and rotating a document is even faster.
This is a new feature for iOS, our Android users enjoyed this feature already for quite some time and it proved to be very popular.Â
By the way: We would be happy if you could spend two minutes of your time to rate Scanbot 4 on the iOS App Store or on Google Play. This is an important signal regarding the quality of the app for users discovering Scanbot for the first time.
Have a nice weekend!
Scanbot 4 - featuring workflows, quick actions and a fresh design!
Get ready to get stuff done with Scanbot the smart way. Arriving today is one of the biggest Scanbot updates ever. We have added workflows, quick actions and a fresh design. All these brand-new features will assist you in scanning, organizing and sharing your documents even faster with Scanbot. Letâs dive right into the details:
WORKFLOWS
This is one of our most requested features and now it is live. Â For each scan in the app you will see your most often used workflows directly under the document preview.
A simple tap on one or several of this options and Scanbot will perform the workflow for you. A tap on âMore...â shows you the full list of sharing and cloud storage locations for your scan. We are very excited to have this implemented!
QUICK ACTIONS
If you have OCR enabled (requires the pro version of the app) Scanbot will extract the text content from the document which you have scanned. But now we go one big step further and, using our document intelligence technology, translate the extracted text into quick actions. This means if you for example scan a prescription from your doctor, containing his telephone number, address and homepage, Scanbot will create 3 actions:
Tapping on one of these will directly call the extracted number, open your navigation app with the address inserted as the endpoint of the route or open the webpage respectively. So all these actions are available with just a quick tap with your finger.
DESIGN
The new design will make it even more intuitive to operate Scanbot and you will subtly notice it everywhere. Overall the design is more streamlined and makes it easier to find the information you want. We implemented a major overhaul of the settings screen so that you can now quickly select the best setup for the tasks you want to accomplish.
Additionally, for our iOS users, we have also included MS OneNote and FTP support as cloud storage options.
As always this release also includes performance improvements, a lot of optimizations and we ironed out some small pesky bugs. Make sure you update Scanbot or download the best scanner app, Scanbot 4, on iTunes or Google Play now.
We would love to hear what you think! Just let us know on our social media channels or via [email protected]. This is just the initial version of implementing this exciting new feature set so there are even more updates on the way to help you get more stuff done faster! Make sure to sign up to our Newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter to make sure you donât miss out on the latest Scanbot news.
Also have a look at our short video highlighting the features of the #1 scanner app, Scanbot 4:
Scanbot Pro for Education and Business

Therefore now it is possible to purchase multiple copies of the app and distribute them via managed distribution systems. You can download this special version of Scanbot by clicking on the following link: Scanbot for Education and Business .

Ad supported version of Scanbot Pro for Android

If you would like to activate this option simply go to your Scanbot settings and tap on "Learn More" below the "Pro Pack" Banner. Here you can choose between the traditional ways to get Pro (Purchase & Subscription) and the new "Pro for free with ads". Just tap on "Enable Pro for free with ads" and you will have access to all Pro features instantly.

Scanbot 3.7 with Slack and Wunderlist integrations is here! Plus a new document naming feature for iOS and Android redesign.
The newest releases of Scanbot for both iOS and Android are available for download. Once more, they come with a long list of new features and improvements. Since its launch one year ago (April 1st, 2014), Scanbot has generated over 1.75 million unique downloads - a big âThank youâ to all of you!
We collected a lot of your feedback and went through a lot of discussions on how to best add value for Scanbot users. In the end we decided to focus on some missing integrations that seem crucial. Scanbot 3.7 features new integrations of popular services Slack and Wunderlist for both, iOS and Android. Slack is included as cloud upload destination and Wunderlist is, of course, added to our list of integrated reminder services to enhance documents with reminders. The reminders feature has been very well received since its introduction with version 3.5 and we hope more of you find it useful with Wunderlist in the fold now.
With the Slack integration, you can now upload scans directly into your conversations and channels. This helps to discuss and share documents in the right context with the right team members. The Slack integration is available for all users as part of our free app. Scanbot bridges the gap between physical information in documents, receipts or newspaper and the digital communication of teams in Slack.
Slack and Wunderlist are the most requested services and the Scanbot team is excited to deliver on your requests!
Scanbot for iOS also includes a completely redesigned smart naming feature based on data such as location and calendar events!
Scanbot 3.7 for iOS further includes a completely new document naming feature, available for all Scanbot PRO users. You can now set the names of files with only a few taps based on predefined and own tags as well as dynamic elements such as the current location and places nearby, current date and time along with recent and upcoming calendar events. Setting file names has never been more fun.
Android app redesigned according to Googleâs Material Design guidelines!
The most obvious and visible update of Scanbot for Android is the adoption and complete redesign according to Googleâs latest Material Design guidelines.
Besides the key features detailed above, both the iOS and Android app received significant speed and usability improvements as well as bug fixes. And the next version is already in the worksâŚ
Scanbot 3.5 with smart reminders for Scanbot documents, 1Password integration and endless scanning has arrived!
The newest release of Scanbot is available now and allows you to add smart reminders and tasks to your scanned documents!
Many of your documents and scans are part of a workflow and will require future action. Be it a bill that needs to get paid, a letter waiting for an answer or a receipt to be handed in with your expense report. Â Documents need to be processed. Available to all Scanbot PRO users now, Scanbot makes life a lot easier by integrating various ways of adding reminders with local push notifications on both Android and iOS as well as popular services like Evernote, Reminders (both on iOS).
Reminders can be added to all new and existing documents in Scanbot. And support of Reminders and Evernote is just the beginning as we will release one more major task manager in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned!
Scanbot for iOS also adds 1Password integration to make connecting your cloud services even easier
The integration of cloud storage services is a core component of Scanbot with already more than 100.000 document uploads per week. The Top 5 cloud services used by Scanbot users are Dropbox, Google Drive, Appleâs iCloud, Evernote and Microsoftâs OneDrive with a combined 95% of uploads.
And since we know that a lot of users really like to manage their logins with 1Password, we added support for this service. This feature makes setup and login to cloud services even quicker and is available to all users of Scanbot on iOS starting today. Itâs an optional service for which you will need a 1Password account as well as their app installed and the previous way of adding 3rd party services remains supported as well.
âAll you can scanâ - no more limits on the number of pages per document !
Once more, we also put a lot of effort into our continuous improvement of both scanning quality as well as general speed and usability of both the iOS as well as Android apps.
In addition, we took a deep dive into how your phone handles large scan jobs and essentially removed any limitations with regards to the amount of pages you can scan. We call this the âall you can scanâ feature, so keep them scanners snapping even at full books now!
Sounds like many reasons to get Scanbot 3.5 now!
