TL;DR: Have a scanner on hand at all times with SwiftScan VIP, now $41.99 (reg. $199) with code TAKE30 through March 30.

It’s surprising how often we need to keep track of a receipt, make a copy, or digitize an important document. Though they are hard to track down these days, scanners can really come in handy.

Since most of us don’t even have a printer that is easily accessible, SwiftScan is there to fill the massive multitasking-printer-sized void in our lives. And right now you can enjoy a lifetime license for just $41.99 with code TAKE30 through March 30. 

Arm your smartphone with a scanner

SwiftScan turns your smartphone or tablet into a scanner, letting you create high-quality scans in seconds via a user-friendly app. It detects the edges of the page for precise scanning and makes scanning multiple pages and turning them into a single document a breeze. 

The app actually improves upon our old-school scanners. It enhances the scan quality with color filters, auto-optimization, and blur reduction, making it a great option for professionals who need to scan items for work. 

Once you’re done scanning, turn a page into a PDF or JPG. Then, choose between sending it as a fax or email attachment or uploading it to iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or another trusted cloud service with seamless integration. Scanned items are also saved and organized by SwiftScan for easy retrieval.

Scanning something you need to work with? SwiftScan also lets you edit PDF files, so you can annotate, redact, or sign after scanning. Your clunky old scanner definitely couldn’t do that. 

Take a digital copy of anything with this handy lifetime subscription to SwiftScanVIP, now only $41.99 with code TAKE30 through March 30.
