ScanZeta 1.0.4 Is Now Live: A Private, Offline-First Document Scanner for Android
September 1 2026
We’re excited to announce the latest release of ScanZeta, our privacy-focused document scanner and PDF utility for Android.
ScanZeta is built around a simple idea:
Your documents should stay yours.
Whether you're scanning an important document, creating a PDF, converting images, or preparing a file for an online application, ScanZeta is designed to perform its core document processing locally on your Android device.
ScanZeta 1.0.4 is now live on Google Play.

📄 Scan Documents Without Complicating Things
ScanZeta provides the essential tools you need to turn physical documents into useful digital files.
You can scan documents using your Android device's camera and work with the resulting files directly on your phone.
The goal is simple: scan, process, save, and share — without unnecessary complexity.
🔒 Your Documents Stay on Your Device
Privacy is one of the principles behind ScanZeta.
The app is designed with an offline-first approach for its core document-processing workflows. Documents can be processed locally on the device rather than being sent to a cloud service for conversion or compression.
That means you don't need to upload your documents to an external server just to perform basic document operations.
For sensitive documents such as:
- Identity documents
- Application forms
- Certificates
- Receipts
- Personal records
- Official documents
keeping processing local can provide an important additional layer of control.
🚫 No Registration Required
ScanZeta is designed to let you get started without creating an account.
Open the app, scan your document, and start working with it.
There is no need to create another username and password just to use a document scanner.
🆕 Introducing Prepare for Upload
One of the major additions in the latest ScanZeta release is Prepare for Upload.
Anyone who has tried submitting documents to government portals, job applications, university websites, visa applications, or other online forms has probably encountered this problem:
"File must be JPG."
"Maximum file size: 200 KB."
You have the document, but the website doesn't accept the file you currently have.
That's exactly the kind of problem Prepare for Upload is intended to solve.
🔄 Convert Your Files to the Format You Need
Prepare for Upload supports converting supported source files into commonly required formats:
JPG • PNG • PDF
Depending on the source document, you can work with formats such as JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC and PDF.
For example:
HEIC → JPG
PNG → JPG
Image → PDF
PDF → JPG
This makes it easier to prepare files for websites that have strict upload requirements.
📦 Control the File Size
Format isn't the only problem.
Many websites also impose strict file-size limits.
Prepare for Upload includes target-size options such as:
- 200 KB
- 500 KB
- 1 MB
- 2 MB
- 5 MB
- Custom size
The app attempts to produce an output within the selected target-size requirement while maintaining usable quality.
This is particularly useful when a portal says something like:
"Upload a JPG file smaller than 200 KB."
Instead of searching for a separate online compressor, you can prepare the file directly on your Android device.
📑 Select the PDF Pages You Need
Working with PDFs can create another common problem: you don't always need the entire document.
Prepare for Upload allows you to select the pages you need when preparing PDF content.
For example, if a PDF contains ten pages but an application only requires pages 2 and 4, you can prepare the relevant pages rather than uploading the entire document.
🛡️ Designed for Local Processing
ScanZeta's document workflows are designed around keeping processing on the device whenever technically possible.
This is particularly important when working with documents that users may not want to upload to third-party services.
Instead of:
Document → Cloud service → Processing → Your file
the intended workflow is:
Document → Your Android device → Processing → Your file
No unnecessary cloud document-processing service is required for these core workflows.
🧰 More Than a Scanner
ScanZeta isn't limited to taking pictures of documents.
The app also includes tools for working with documents and images, including:
- Document scanning
- PDF creation
- Image-to-PDF conversion
- Image compression
- PDF workflows
- OCR-related functionality
- File sharing
- Printing
- Prepare for Upload
The objective is to keep useful document utilities together in one Android application.
📤 Save, Share and Use Your Files
After processing a document, you can continue using the resulting file directly from your device.
ScanZeta supports workflows for saving and sharing your generated documents, making it easier to move from:
Scan → Process → Final file → Submit
without needing several different apps.
⚡ Built for Real-World Android Use
Sometimes you don't have a reliable internet connection when you need to scan something.
Maybe you're travelling.
Maybe you're somewhere with poor reception.
Maybe you're simply scanning documents at home and don't want to upload them anywhere.
That's why ScanZeta's core document workflows are designed with an offline-first philosophy.
Your scanner should still be useful when the network isn't.
