Scan to PDF
Uses your device camera, so it needs permission and an https connection. The captures never leave the browser.
Runs in your browser — nothing uploadednew
How to use Scan to PDF
- Allow camera access when your browser asks.
- Photograph each page. Shots are added to a list you can reorder or retake.
- Press Save and the whole batch becomes one PDF.
Questions
- Do my photos get uploaded?
- No. The camera feed and every frame stay inside this browser tab, and the PDF is assembled on your device.
- How do I get a readable scan?
- Flat surface, even light, and fill the frame with the page. Avoid a shadow falling across the middle — that is what makes OCR misread numbers later.
- Can I search the text afterwards?
- Not from the photograph alone, which is an image. Run the result through OCR PDF to add a text layer.
