About Scan to PDF
Your phone camera is a perfectly good document scanner. Capture each page, drag the four corners to the edges of the paper to correct perspective, and choose a filter: Enhance for color documents, Grayscale, or crisp Black & White for text.
All pages are combined into one PDF at A4, Letter or the photo's own size. The camera feed and photos are processed on your device only.
Tips for best results
- Place the paper on a dark, plain surface in good light for clean edges.
- Black & White produces the smallest, most readable files for text documents.
- Make the scan searchable afterwards with OCR PDF.
How your file stays on your device
Scan to PDF runs entirely inside your web browser. When you choose a file, your browser reads it into memory on your own device, a background Web Worker does the processing, and the result is handed straight back to you as a download. There is no upload step, no server that receives your document and no copy kept anywhere — close the tab and it is gone. That makes it safe for contracts, IDs, medical letters and anything else you would rather not send to a stranger's server. How in-browser processing works
FAQ
Scan to PDF: frequently asked questions
Does it work on phones?
Yes, in any modern mobile browser. On iPhone use Safari; you'll be asked to allow camera access.
Are photos uploaded?
No. The camera feed and photos are processed in your browser only.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Scanning happens entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
