What Genius Scan - PDF Scanner Is Used For

Genius Scan - PDF Scanner appears to be a mobile document scanning app for turning paper documents into digital files on an Android phone. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used to capture receipts, forms, notes, IDs, and other paperwork with the camera, then save them as PDFs for sharing, storing, or later reference. The business category and export options suggest it is aimed at everyday document handling rather than general photo editing.

The app also seems suited to people who need to organize scanned documents on the go. Its listed features include batch scanning, multi-page PDF creation, document merging and splitting, tagging, search, and renaming tools. Permission access such as camera, storage, internet, and biometric use indicates it may support scanning, saving files locally, syncing backups, exporting to cloud or email services, and locking access to documents on the device. OCR text recognition also suggests it can help make scanned files searchable.
