Scan to PDF

Photos of pages, as a clean, flat PDF.

How to use Scan to PDF

Scan to PDF turns photos of documents, receipts, letters and forms into a clean PDF, like a scanner. Each page is found in the photo, flattened so it's square on, and cleaned up so the paper is white and the writing is crisp. On a computer you can use your phone as the camera: scan the QR code, take photos, and each page appears on the computer straight away. You see every page exactly as it will look before you save, and nothing is ever uploaded.

  1. 1

    Take photos of your pages, choose photos you already have, or on a computer press Use your phone as the camera and scan the QR code.

  2. 2

    Each page is found and flattened for you. If a corner isn't quite right, choose Adjust corners and drag it; the magnifier helps you place it exactly.

  4. 4

    Choose A4, US Letter or Fit page, then press Download PDF.
