FAQ

Scan to PDF questions

Does this work on desktop too?

Camera capture is built for phones. On a desktop without a camera, use “Choose Photos Instead” to select existing image files.

Does this straighten or enhance the scan automatically?

No. Photos are placed into the PDF as captured, without automatic cropping, straightening, or contrast enhancement.

Can I capture multiple pages?

Yes, capture or add as many pages as you need before creating the PDF.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Photos are combined into a PDF entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server or stored.
