Scan documents to PDF with your phone

No scanner? Your phone camera does the job. Pages are cleaned up to look like a real scan.

Take photos of each page, or pick photos you already have.

About this tool

Photos of paper usually come out grey, shadowy and huge. Document mode evens out the lighting, whitens the background and sharpens the text, and the result is a fraction of the size. Black and white makes the smallest files; Original color is best for IDs and colored forms.

Lay the page on a dark, flat surface in good light and hold the phone straight above it. Run OCR afterwards to make the scan searchable.

Questions

Do I need to install an app?
