Scan documents to PDF.

No scanner and no app needed. Take a photo of each page with your phone’s camera, put them in order, and get one PDF ready to email or upload — without the pages ever leaving your phone.

  • The PDF is built in your browser, not on a server
  • One page per image, in the order you arrange them
  • JPGs are embedded as they are, with no second compression pass

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a clean scan with a phone camera?

Lay the page flat on a dark surface in daylight, hold the phone straight above it so the edges look square, and fill the frame. Turn the flash off — it leaves a glare spot in the middle of the page.

Do I need to install an app?

No. This page uses your phone’s own camera through the browser, so there is nothing to download and no account to make.

The PDF is too big to upload. What now?

Phone photos are large, so a few pages can pass a portal’s limit. Run the finished PDF through Compress PDF, or a preset such as Compress PDF to 500 KB.
