TL;DR
- Google Drive finally gets a major scanner upgrade with smarter on-device AI features and a refreshed Material 3 Expressive design.
- New Smart Batch Scanning lets you scan multiple pages continuously without manually capturing each page.
- Auto-Best Frame automatically swaps blurry scans with clearer shots, while Duplicate Detection prevents repeated pages.
Google Drive’s built-in scanner has been one of its underrated features hiding in plain sight. It lets users scan receipts, contracts, forms, and handwritten notes directly from their phones and store them as searchable PDFs in Drive. Over time, Google has gradually improved the tool with auto-capture, JPEG export support, and image enhancements such as shadow removal and white balance correction. Now it looks like Google is pushing things much further.
A recent screen recording shared on X by Sameer Samat, president of Android Ecosystem, reveals that Google Drive is rolling out a redesigned document scanner with some powerful on-device upgrades.
