Office Lens for Windows

Fast Capture and Easy Export

Quickly turn notes, receipts, photos of posters and pages into clear, usable files. The app cleans up photos of documents and whiteboards, lets you crop and enhance them, then exports directly to formats like PDF, PowerPoint or Word so you can use or share them immediately.

A Portable Scanning Tool

Think of it as a scanner you can carry in your pocket. In seconds you can digitize chalkboard or whiteboard content, save snapshots of sketches, or make neat copies of business cards, flyers and printed material. Captured images can be shared with colleagues or friends, and automatic trimming produces tidy, ready-to-use images.

Built-in OCR for Editable, Searchable Text

The integrated optical character recognition (OCR) picks up both printed and handwritten text automatically. That makes text inside images searchable, selectable and editable — so you can copy passages, find specific words in your scans, or paste content into other documents.

Capture Modes for Different Needs

• Business card mode: extracts contact information and can add it to your address book or OneNote; it supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, Mandarin and German.
• Document mode: crops pages and corrects color and perspective so printed materials look natural; scans can be saved to cloud services like OneDrive or OneNote, or stored locally.
• Whiteboard mode: removes glare and shadow, and clears excess background so board notes are easier to read and preserve.
