Scan to PDF

Take photos of paper documents with your phone and save them as one clean PDF.

On a phone, “Take photo” opens the camera. Lay the page flat in good light and fill the frame with it. Add as many pages as you need.

Photos are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. This tool does not straighten tilted pages, so hold the camera directly above the page.
