Genius Scan is developed by The Grizzly Labs, an independent software company based in Paris, France. Founded in 2010, the company specializes in mobile productivity applications, particularly in document scanning. Their core mission is to save users time through intuitive, high-quality mobile tools. In addition to Genius Scan, they also offer Genius Fax and Genius Sign.
Genius Scan was launched in 2010, just three years after the iPhone debuted. It quickly gained traction due to its ability to turn a smartphone into a portable scanner. The app’s core features—automatic document detection, cropping, and enhancement—were praised for their simplicity and effectiveness. Over the years, Genius Scan has been downloaded tens of millions of times and has processed hundreds of millions of scans.
Product expansion has been organic, with the team building complementary apps (Fax, Sign) and launching the Genius Scan SDK to serve B2B clients
