Scan a document to PDF

Photograph paper with your phone

Drag the four corners to the edges of the sheet. Add the next page with the “Add more” button.

    Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

    To scan a document to PDF, photograph each page with your phone, drag the four corners onto the edges of the sheet and save. The perspective is straightened on your device, so the page looks flat even if you shot it at an angle. Add as many pages as you need and choose colour or black and white.

    How it works

    1. Tap “Take photos or choose images” and photograph the first page, or pick a photo you already have.
    2. Drag the four corners onto the edges of the paper.
    3. Use “+ Add more” for the next page.
    4. Choose colour or black and white, then “Save PDF”.

    Photos are processed on the phone and never uploaded.

    Worked example

    Your landlord in Novi Sad needs a signed copy of the rental contract today, and there’s no scanner in the flat. Lay the three pages on a dark table by a window, photograph each one, set the corners and choose black and white. You end up with a three-page PDF small enough to email.

    Questions people ask

    How do I get a good scan with a phone?

    Use daylight, avoid your own shadow and put the paper on a darker surface so the edges stand out. Hold the phone parallel to the sheet.

    Colour or black and white?

    Black and white gives crisp text and a smaller file, which suits contracts and forms. Pick colour for stamps, signatures in blue ink or photos.

    Can I search the text afterwards?

    Not straight away, since each page is an image. Put the PDF through OCR PDF to add a searchable text layer.

    Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

    No. Cropping and straightening happen in your browser, and the photos stay on your phone.
