Scan documents to PDF — without uploading photos

Photograph the document with your phone, straighten the sheet by dragging its corners and create a clean PDF that looks scanned.

The photos never leave your device: everything is processed in the browser, no app to install.

How to scan a document with your phone

Open the tool on your phone and tap “Take photo” — or choose photos you already have. On each page, drag the four circles to the corners of the sheet: the photo is straightened as if taken head-on, without the table around it. Pick a filter, set the order and create the PDF.

Scanner-style filters

“Enhance” whitens the paper and sharpens the text while keeping colors. “Grayscale” removes color. “Black & white” mimics an office scanner, compensating for shadows and uneven light and producing a very light file — ideal for e-filing portals.
