How can I resize a scanned document with Scan.Plus?

With Scan.Plus mobile applications, you have the flexibility to resize your scanned documents either before saving or after they’ve been saved to your device. This feature is particularly useful in a variety of scenarios.

Why would I need to resize a document?

Resizing a scanned document can be beneficial for several reasons:

• Meet formatting or submission requirements: Some platforms or institutions require documents in specific sizes, such as Letter or A4. For example, a receipt scanned in its original size may need to be resized before it can be uploaded to an online form or printed properly.
• Standardize document sizes: Keeping all your scanned documents in a uniform size helps with organization, readability, and professional presentation.
• Optimize for printing and sharing: Adjusting the document size ensures it fits well when printing or sending to others, reducing formatting issues or unnecessary white space.

Page sizes you can choose from

Scan.Plus lets you resize your scans to the format that works best for you. Here are the available options:

• Original size – Keeps your scan in its natural size, perfect if you want to preserve the exact dimensions of the original document (e.g., receipts, small notes).
• Letter (8.5” × 11”) – Commonly used in the U.S. and Canada for personal, business, and academic documents.
• Legal (8.5” × 14”) – Ideal for contracts, legal forms, and documents that need a bit more vertical space.
• A3 (11.7” × 16.5”) – Great for posters, diagrams, and large-format presentations. Often used in design and engineering.
• A4 (8.3” × 11.7”) – The most widely used international paper size, perfect for resumes, reports, and general documentation.
• A5 (5.8” × 8.3”) – Handy for booklets, planners, and smaller notes. Easy to carry and print.

Choose the size that best suits how you’ll use or share the document!
