What our users say
"We deal with a ton of client documentation at Vexa Solutions - proposals, contracts, scanned invoices, and the like. Plainscan has just become part of our daily operations. The accuracy of the OCR software has been surprising. The PDF merge feature has cut out the usual hassle of putting reports together before sending them off to clients. The fact that the files automatically delete after 24 hours was a big trust factor for us. Would definitely recommend to any operations-heavy team."
"As a manager in a digital agency, I'm always reading through various decks, briefs, and reports from different teams. Plainscan is super useful to quickly combine everything into one neat PDF before sending it to the client. I've found the background remover tool to be useful several times when we had to prep assets quickly. It's one of those tools you don't know you need until it opens up every single day in your browser. Great product."
"Came across Plainscan when I needed to convert a scanned PDF to an editable Word document in a hurry. Honestly, didn't expect much from a free tool, but Plainscan delivered the job well without any problems. I have since used the compress tool and image tool a couple of times. I just wish the free version allows for a couple of extra documents per day because sometimes I need just a little extra. Will probably sign up for the Pro version soon."
"As a designer, I was skeptical, but Plainscan's image tools are actually useful for quick non-design work. The background remover is fast and clean, if not perfect on complicated edges, but it's more than sufficient for mockups and placeholders. Mostly, it's useful for compressing images and converting files for client handoffs without needing to open up Photoshop for simple things. Saves me probably 20-30 minutes a week. The UI is clean, which is always a plus for me."
"Plainscan has always been my go-to for preparing my marketing material and campaign reports. I have used the PDF Compress tool almost on a daily basis before sending out reports via email. And the AI Summarize tool is just incredible - I used it on a lengthy whitepaper from the industry and it gave me a summary in a matter of seconds. As someone in digital marketing, always juggling different file types, Plainscan's 74 tools in one place is a no-brainer for me - no bloat, no hassle. It just works."
