Photos in, a clean scan out
A photo of a document shows the table, the shadow of your phone and a slanted page. Scan to PDF turns each photo into what a scanner would give you: it finds the page, cuts it out, straightens it, turns it upright, removes shadows and the background, and puts all the pages into one PDF, each fitted to the paper size.
What you can add
- Photos from your gallery, a computer, WhatsApp or other messaging apps: JPG, PNG, WEBP and iPhone HEIC.
- Several photos at once: each becomes a page of the same PDF.
- ID cards are recognised and kept at their real size, so a front and back can share one A4 page.
- Open books and notebooks: tick Book: two pages in each photo to split each spread into two pages. Photographing one page at a time works too: the outline stops at the fold.
Check each page
Each photo gets a card showing the page found. If the outline isn't right, drag its corners. Choose a filter (Auto picks black and white, grey or Magic colour per page), turn pages by hand if needed, and leave out blank pages. Tick OCR to make the text searchable.
