What is Scan to PDF?
Turn any phone, tablet, or laptop camera into a document scanner with Scan to PDF. Open the tool, point your camera at any document, and tap capture — no app download, no account, no upload.
Switch between front and rear cameras with a single tap, or enable the 2-second auto-capture timer for hands-free scanning. Choose from five built-in image filters to optimize readability: Original keeps the photo as-is, B&W converts to grayscale for clean text documents, Enhance increases contrast for faded or low-light scans, Photo boosts colour saturation for vivid documents, and Whiteboard maximizes contrast for whiteboard captures.
After capturing, review every page in the full-size lightbox preview and rotate any page clockwise or counter-clockwise if needed. Add as many pages as you like — the estimated file size updates live so you always know how large the final PDF will be. Choose from A4, Letter, Legal, A3, or Match Image Size page layouts, and dial in JPEG quality from 50% to 100% to balance file size vs. sharpness.
All processing happens locally in your browser. No images are uploaded to any server. Once the page loads, the tool works completely offline.
