scanning

Scanning is the process of converting physical documents or images into digital format using a scanner. The scanner captures the content of the original item and creates an electronic copy, typically saved as a PDF, JPEG, or other file types. Scanning is useful for archiving, sharing, or editing documents without keeping physical copies. It helps reduce paper usage and allows for easier organization and retrieval of information. Scanned files can be stored on computers, cloud services, or shared electronically.
