Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a document to PDF with my phone?

Open this page on your phone, press Start camera and allow camera access. Hold the phone flat above the page and press the round button for each page. Then choose an enhance option and press Create PDF.

Which enhance option should I pick?

"Black & white document" makes printed text sharp and the file small — best for forms, letters and certificates to upload on portals. "Grayscale" keeps shading such as stamps and photos. "Original" keeps the colours.

Are my scans uploaded anywhere?

No. The camera image is processed inside your browser and the PDF is created on your phone. The camera turns off as soon as the PDF is made or you leave the page.

Is Scan to PDF (camera) free?
