Scan documents to PDF with your phone

No scanner or app needed. Take a photo of the document with your phone – we find the edges, straighten the page and clean it up so it looks like it came from a scanner.

How it works

  1. 1

    Take a photo of the document

    Place the paper on a darker surface and capture the whole sheet. You can photograph several pages.

  2. 2

    Check the corners

    We find the edges of the document for you. If needed, drag the corners with your finger – a magnifier shows the exact spot.

  3. 3

    Choose a look and save

    Document (black & white), Grayscale, Color or the original photo. You can then sign the finished PDF or download it right away.

What it can do

Cropping and straightening

A document photographed at an angle is straightened, and the background around it disappears.

Clean white paper

Shadows and uneven lighting disappear, the paper turns white and the text gets darker.

Multiple pages

Photograph a whole contract – the pages stay in the order you took them.

Your photos stay with you

Photos are processed right on your phone; only an end-to-end encrypted copy of the finished PDF is sent to the server.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install an app?

No. Scanning works right in your phone’s browser (Safari, Chrome). The “Take a photo of a document” button opens the camera.

How do I photograph a document for the best scan?

Place the paper on a darker surface and shoot from directly above in good light, without flash. The whole sheet should be in the photo.

Which look should I choose?

Document gives a clean black-and-white scan with the smallest file – ideal for contracts and forms. Color keeps stamps and signatures in color, and Grayscale is in between.

How big will the file be?

A black-and-white page is usually 50–150 KB, a color page around 0.5 MB. You can compress the file further afterward.

Does it work on a computer too?

Yes – select photos of the document from your disk. You adjust the corners with the mouse.

Who can see my document?

Only you and anyone you send the link to. The document is edited in your browser and only ever reaches our server encrypted. The copy deletes itself one hour after your last edit. Learn more in our privacy policy.
