Frequently asked questions
Do my documents leave my phone?
No. Scanning, OCR and every PDF and image tool run on your device. There is no document cloud and no account. A document leaves your phone only when you share or export it yourself.
What does the app send, then?
On the free tier, ads through Google AdMob, including the advertising ID. Crash reports and anonymous usage analytics through Firebase, and analytics can be switched off in Settings → Privacy & Data. Feature flags and pricing through Firebase Remote Config. No document content is included in any of it, and nothing goes to any AI service.
Does ScanCrypt work offline?
Yes. Turn on airplane mode and every document tool works exactly the same. Only ads, purchases and update checks need a connection.
Do I need an account?
No. Install it and scan. There is no sign-up, no email and no login anywhere in the app.
What does Pro cost?
Pro Lifetime ₹649 / $7.99 once, or Pro Annual ₹249 / $2.99 per year. Prices vary by region. Purchases go through Google Play, and Pro also removes all ads.
