A scanner in your browser
Scan to PDF uses the camera on your phone or computer inside the web page. There’s no app to install and no account to create. Photograph a page, then the next one, and the tool collects them into a single document.
It’s made for everyday paperwork: a signed form your employer needs back today, a doctor’s note for school, receipts for an expense report, a lease page for a rental application or a birth certificate for a visa file. If you don’t grant camera permission, you can pick existing photos from your gallery instead.
Crop, straighten and clean up each page
Photos of paper are rarely perfect. For each page you drag the four corners onto the edges of the sheet, and the tool corrects the perspective so a page shot at an angle comes out straight and rectangular.
Then choose a filter: original, grayscale, black and white (best for text documents) or higher contrast. Black and white usually makes printed text easiest to read. You can reorder pages, delete a bad shot and retake it, and set the page size to A4, Letter or the photo’s own size.
Tips for a sharp scan
Put the paper on a dark, flat surface so its edges stand out. Use even daylight or a bright lamp and avoid your own shadow falling across the page. Hold the phone parallel to the paper, fill most of the frame with the sheet, and wait a moment for the camera to focus before shooting.
If the PDF needs to be searchable, run it through “OCR PDF” afterwards to add a text layer. If a portal needs a smaller file, “Compress PDF” is the next step. The result passes to either tool without uploading it again.
Your pages stay with you
Photos and the finished PDF are processed in your browser. Nothing is sent from your phone to a computer or anywhere else, and nothing is stored on our side. That matters when you’re scanning IDs, bank letters or medical papers.
The result is a PDF of images. The text in it isn’t selectable or searchable until you use “OCR PDF”. And the scan can only be as good as the photo: blurry, dark or very small shots will give a blurry page.
When a camera scan isn’t enough
A camera scan is fine for most forms, letters and receipts. For fine print, detailed drawings or documents where every mark matters, a flatbed scanner will usually give a sharper result. Glossy paper can also reflect light, so tilt the sheet slightly or move the lamp if you see a bright spot.
