Book & document scanner

Turn printed pages into documents you can edit, search and read anywhere.

Photograph book pages with your phone and JadeScan converts them into Markdown, EPUB, searchable PDF or Word — in the original page order, column by column, with formulas and symbols kept readable.

Everything a scanned page needs

Four formats

Markdown (one file per page), reflowable EPUB, searchable PDF and Word. Convert the same scan to as many formats as you need.

Columns in reading order

Multi-column pages are read column by column, with page titles first, so exam papers and textbooks come out in the order you read them.

Formulas and symbols

Exponents, subscripts, fractions and Greek letters stay readable (10⁻¹⁹ C, m₁, Ω). Markdown can also write the maths as LaTeX.

Searchable PDF

Keeps your original scan exactly as it looks and adds an invisible text layer, so you can search and copy the text.

No account needed

No sign-up, no email, no password. Your scans stay in the app on your phone; only the pages you convert are sent to our servers.

Deleted after 24 hours

Uploaded pages and converted files are removed from our servers automatically. Save your results in the app and they are yours.

How it works

  1. Scan your pages

    Use the camera to capture book or document pages, or import photos and PDFs you already have. Crop, filter, reorder or rescan pages before you continue.

  2. Choose a format

    Pick Markdown, EPUB, PDF or Word. JadeScan reads every page in order — blank pages are kept and pages it cannot read are clearly marked, never skipped.

  3. Save and share

    Download the finished file into the app, open it, or share it with any other app on your phone.
