Scan a document to PDF

How it works
Take a photo of the document or import an image.
Drag the 4 corners to the edges of the sheet and pick a filter.
Add more pages, then download the PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. On a phone, the “Take a photo” button opens the camera straight from the browser.
How do I get a better result?
Place the sheet on a dark, well-lit surface and avoid shadows. The “Document” filter then boosts contrast.
Are my documents stored anywhere?
No. Photos are processed on your device and never sent anywhere.
