About Scan to PDF
Turn paper into a clean PDF using the camera on your phone or laptop. Capture each page, let the scanner crop it automatically, switch to grayscale and adjust contrast so text is easy to read, then export all pages as a single PDF. You can also upload photos you have already taken. Every image is processed in your browser, so your documents are never uploaded to a server.
