Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan physical documents directly into a PDF using my camera?
Open the tool, grant camera permission, position your document inside the camera frame, capture photos of each page, apply filters or crop edges, and export your compiled multi-page PDF.
Are my camera feed or document photos sent to an external server?
No. The camera stream is processed strictly in your browser via HTML5 getUserMedia. Photos are captured, processed, and compiled locally on your device.
Can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF document?
Yes. Capture as many pages as you need sequentially; they will be organized into a multi-page PDF document in order.
Does the scanner feature auto edge detection and perspective correction?
Yes. The tool detects document boundaries and automatically squares up skewed angles so your scans look flat and professional.
Can I enhance contrast to make text more readable?
Yes. You can apply Black & White document filters, Grayscale, or Color Enhanced filters to eliminate shadows and background noise.
Does this work on mobile phone cameras?
Yes. When used on a smartphone, you can utilize the high-resolution rear camera for crisp, professional document scanning.
What output paper formats are supported?
You can format your scanned PDF to standard A4, US Letter, or match the captured camera aspect ratio.
Can I retake a single page if the photo is blurry?
Yes. You can review, reorder, delete, or retake individual page captures before finalizing the PDF.
How does the image quality compare to physical flatbed scanners?
With good lighting and a modern smartphone or 1080p+ webcam, the captured scan offers comparable sharpness suitable for contracts, receipts, and IDs.
Can I scan receipts, business cards, and IDs?
Yes, you can crop to custom dimensions for receipts, identification cards, passports, and notes.
Can I scan documents while offline without internet?
Yes. Once the scanning interface loads, all image processing and PDF compilation run offline in your browser.
Does the scanned PDF contain watermarks?
No. All generated scans are clean and free of watermarks or advertising.
Can I compress the scanned PDF to a small file size for email?
Yes. You can adjust the quality slider to produce lightweight PDFs optimized for email attachments.
Is the PDF scan tool free to use?
Yes, completely free with unlimited document scans.
Is scanning documents in the browser secure for tax or medical forms?
Yes. Because photos never upload to cloud servers, your sensitive identity documents remain strictly in your custody.
