Common questions

How do I use my webcam as a document scanner?

Press Start camera, allow access, hold the page flat and fill the view, then press Capture page. Each capture becomes a page in your PDF.

How do I use my phone as a document camera?

Open this page on your phone and press Start camera, or press “Take photo (phone)” to use the phone camera app. Both give the same result.

Will the scan look like a real scanner?

The Document look removes shadows and turns the paper white while keeping text dark, which is close to a flatbed scan. Good, even light matters most.

Is my camera feed uploaded?

No. The camera stays on your device. Pages are processed in your browser and the PDF is made locally.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no page limit.

Why does the camera not start?

Allow camera access for this site in the address bar and close other apps that use the camera. Without a camera, choose photos instead.
