📘 Scan to PDF: Complete Guide
Our free document scanner turns your device's rear camera into a portable scanner. Capture photos of documents, receipts, whiteboards, or upload existing images, then combine them into a single PDF. Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone needing quick digitization. No server, no upload, completely private.
✨ How It Works
Click "Start Rear Camera" to access your device's back camera. Point at a document and click "Capture Page". Each capture adds an image to the page list. You can also upload images from your device. Reorder pages using the up/down buttons, delete unwanted pages. When ready, click "Generate PDF" – the tool uses pdf-lib to create a PDF with each image on a separate page, preserving quality. All processing stays in your browser.
