This complete guide explains all available methods for digitizing your paper documents and converting them to PDF format, from smartphone cameras to physical scanners.
PDF is the universal standard for scanned documents. It faithfully preserves the appearance of the original document and is accepted by all administrations, banks and companies.
Use our online scan tool directly from your mobile browser. Position the document on a flat surface, capture the photo, and the tool automatically straightens and crops it before exporting as PDF.
The iOS Notes app includes a built-in PDF scanner. Create a new note, tap the camera icon, and select Scan Documents.
Open Google Drive, tap the plus button, select Scan. The app uses the camera to digitize and automatically creates a PDF in your Drive.
300 DPI is the recommended standard for most text documents. 150 DPI is sufficient for web-only use.
Light the document evenly, avoid shadows, place it on a contrasting surface, and hold your phone vertically and steady.
Yes. With our tool or native apps, you can capture multiple pages and group them into a single PDF.
