How to Scan Documents to PDF
Use your phone as a scanner.
- Take a photo of each page, or choose pictures from your phone or computer
- Choose the look: Clean document, Black and white, Grey or Original
- Rotate, trim the edges and change the order of pages if needed
- Choose the page size and quality
- Click "Make PDF"
Everything happens inside your browser, so your document is never uploaded.
Why Use This Tool?
Photos of documents have grey paper, shadows and crooked edges. Sending them as they are looks poor and the files are big.
This tool cleans the pages, so the PDF looks like a scan and the text is easy to read.
Features
- Take photos with the phone camera or choose many pictures
- Clean document look that whitens the paper and reduces shadows
- Black and white mode for text pages, grey and original modes
- Rotate, trim the edges, move and remove pages
- A4, US Letter or the same size as the picture
- Small, normal or best quality
- Pictures stay in your browser, nothing is uploaded
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it find the edges of the page by itself?
No. Use the Trim edges sliders to cut the extra border. For the best result, take the photo straight from above, in good light.
Which look should I choose?
Clean document is good for most pages. Black and white gives the smallest, sharpest text pages. Use Original colours for photos and stamps.
Why is my file big?
Photos from new phones are large. Choose Small file quality, or use Compress PDF after making the PDF.
Can I make the text searchable?
Not here. After making the PDF, use the OCR PDF tool.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free.
