About the Scan to PDF (phone camera or photos)

Take photos of documents with your phone camera, or choose photos you already have, and turn them into one clean PDF. The pages are brightened and sharpened to look like a scan, in grey, colour or black and white.

Everything happens on your device, so ID cards, contracts and receipts are not uploaded anywhere.

Questions

How do I get the best scan?

Use daylight, hold the phone straight above the page and fill the photo with the page.

Can I make the PDF searchable?

Not here: that needs OCR, which reads the letters.
