Why Use It

Common reasons people scan to PDF

Turn your phone into a document scanner using its camera.

Multi-page documents

Capture several pages in a row and combine them into one PDF.

Quick submissions

Scan paperwork on the spot for forms, receipts, or applications.

How It Works

Simple 3-step workflow

1. Capture or upload photos

Use your camera to capture pages, or upload existing photos.

2. Arrange the pages

Review the captured pages and remove any you don't need.

3. Download the PDF

Combine the pages into one PDF and download it.

Honest Limits

No automatic edge detection

This tool places your photos into a PDF as captured. It doesn't automatically crop to page edges, straighten skewed shots, or enhance contrast the way a dedicated scanner app might.

FAQ

Scan to PDF questions

Does this work on desktop too?

Camera capture is built for phones. On a desktop without a camera, use “Upload 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 upload 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.
