About Scan to PDF

Open the camera, capture one page after another, reorder or turn them, and save the lot as a PDF. Photos you have already taken can be added instead of, or as well as, new captures.

Each page is cleaned up the way a scanner would: the levels are stretched so the paper comes out white and the ink black, a slight tilt is measured from the lines of text and turned back, and "black and white" applies an adaptive threshold that copes with a shadow across one corner. It does not find the edges of the page or correct the angle you held the camera at, so frame the document squarely - the tool says so rather than pretending otherwise.

The camera stream and every photograph stay in the browser tab; nothing is uploaded.

How to use it

  1. 1Press "Use the camera" and allow access, or add photos you already have.
  2. 2Capture each page, filling the frame with the document.
  3. 3Reorder or turn pages, and pick the clean-up and page size.
  4. 4Save as PDF.
