Name scans automatically

Stop renaming every scan. Zency Scan can name new documents from the date, the scan mode and the first line it reads on the page — for example “2026-11-07 Document Residential Lease Agreement”.

  1. Open Settings

    Tap Settings → File name.

  2. Build the pattern

    Edit the box (default {date} {mode} {firstLine}) or insert parts with + Date, + Time, + Mode, + First line, + Folder and + Number.

  3. Check the preview

    Preview: shows a sample name. Reset goes back to the default.

  4. Scan as usual

    When you save, the name is filled in and marked Suggested by your file name template. You can still type over it.

Tips

  • The first line is the first line with at least three words, so dates and page numbers are skipped. A one-letter logo can still count as a word — edit the name if it looks odd.
  • The first line is filled in once the text has been recognized.
Free or Pro? Automatic names are a Pro feature. It is included while you add your first 20 pages, so you can try it on a real document; after that it needs Lifetime Pro ($7.99 once, no subscription).
