What MaShot is

MaShot is a free mobile app for scanning, editing, organizing, and sharing documents on Android and iOS. It detects page edges, corrects perspective, and improves scan clarity, with automatic capture available. On-device OCR extracts text from scanned documents and images for copying or sharing. Scanning, OCR, and document processing run locally, and the app says these tasks do not need an internet connection.

Users can create and place digital signatures, apply date stamps, and adjust their color and weight. PDF tools merge, split, or compress files, reorder or rotate pages, and add watermarks. The app converts PDFs to and from Word and exports as PDF, image, Word, or plain text. Its interface supports over 20 languages, with dark mode available by system setting or manual selection. The plan is free and includes all features, with no subscription, ads, or account. Documents are stored locally; the maker says their security primarily depends on the device’s built-in protections.
