Scanned.to is an AI document converter that turns scanned PDFs and photos into editable files without losing the original look. Instead of extracting plain text, it rebuilds the document with its tables, columns, headers and formatting, so an edited copy resembles the source. It reads printed and handwritten text, translates into more than 50 languages, and exports to Word, searchable PDF or an instant shareable web page. You can upload PDF, JPG, PNG or HEIC files, or paste an image straight in.
Several groups use it. Individuals translate overseas receipts and rental contracts or digitize handwritten notes and old letters. Students and researchers translate foreign papers, convert handwritten drafts and pull out citation text. Business professionals handle international contracts, multilingual invoices and whiteboard photos from meetings, and can share product manuals with clients through secure links that report reading statistics. Developers can connect the OCR and translation API to build receipt recognition apps and automated document workflows.
Practical scenarios include taking a scanned certificate, translating it while keeping the stamp-and-table layout, and downloading a Word file ready for submission. A legal team can convert a scanned contract into an editable draft, revise clauses and send a link rather than an attachment. Someone clearing family papers can turn boxes of letters into searchable text. Translation models are tuned for document types such as legal, medical and technical files, and the vendor says uploaded files and results are deleted automatically after three days and are never used for model training.
