From Paper to Pixels to Searchable Text
You buy a scanner intending to scan years worth of records. But regardless of the scanner's speed, you soon realize the enormity of the task at hand. Time for some outsourcing, but who can you trust with your firm's documents?
Pixily … in One Sentence
Pixily is an online document and records management service with document scanning included in its monthly fee.
The Killer Feature
Pixily provides you with postage paid, waterproof envelopes with which you can send documents for scanning. Pixily scans your documents and also makes the text searchable, and then mails the originals back to you. You can keep the documents in your online account and/or download them in PDF format to store locally. Pixily provides end-to-end 256-bit SSL encryption.
Other Notable Features
You can upload Microsoft Office and PDF documents to Pixily as well as images in a variety of formats. You can also add documents to your account via email. If you snap a photo of a document and upload it, Pixily will make the text searchable.
Pixily offers a Google-like search tool. However, instead of listing your documents by title, Pixily also displays a thumbnail and the top of the first page, making it easier to find the document you seek. Once you find a document, you can view it within Pixily, and also email, print, or download it.
What Else Should You Know?
Pixily offers an iPhone-optimized version of its site for accessing your documents on the go. Pixily offers four plans — Free (1,000 pages), Value ($14.95/month; 1 envelope/ month, 3,000 pages), Value Plus ($29.95/month, 2 envelope/month, 6,000 pages), and Select ($59.95/month, 4 envelopes/month, 12,000 pages).
