Scan Documents to PDF

Photograph documents with your phone and get a clean PDF: automatic cropping, straightening and whitening, just like a scanner. Free, no app to install, no watermark.

Take a photo of a document. We’ll crop and straighten it automatically.

  • • Place the paper on a surface darker than the paper, with all 4 corners visible
  • • Shoot in good light and keep your phone’s shadow off the page
  • • Several pages? Shoot one page at a time, then tap "Shoot next page"

Photos stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. 1Take a photo of the document (or pick one from your gallery) with all four corners of the page visible.
  2. 2Check the detected page edges, drag the corners to adjust, and choose a filter such as Document for a white background and crisp text.
  3. 3Add more pages, put them in order, then create and download your PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install a scanner app?

No. It works in your phone’s web browser on both iPhone and Android: tap to take a photo and the camera opens right away. No account needed, and no watermark.

Are my document photos uploaded?

No. Cropping, image cleanup and PDF creation all happen on your device, so it’s safe for personal documents like ID copies, passport pages or payslips.

It can’t find the edges of my page. What should I do?

Drag the four corner points onto the corners of the page yourself; a magnifier helps you place them precisely. Next time, put the paper on a dark surface, shoot in good light and keep all four corners in the frame.

Which filter should I choose?

Document is best for letters, contracts and other text: the background turns clean white, text (including Thai vowels and tone marks) stays sharp, and files are small. Vivid suits pages with colored stamps, blue-ink signatures or photos.

Can I turn the scan into editable text?

Yes. After creating the PDF, run it through our OCR tool to extract the text in Thai or English.
