Scan a document

Use your camera or a photo, drag the corners to fit the page, and get a straightened scan or PDF. Everything stays on your device.

Scan a document with your phone or laptop camera (or an existing photo), auto-detect the page edges, straighten the perspective, and save it as a clean PDF or JPG. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, so your documents stay on your device.

How to scan a document in your browser

  1. Capture the page. Tap "Use camera" to shoot the document with your rear camera, or "Upload a photo" to pick an existing image.
  2. Adjust the corners. The scanner auto-detects the page edges; drag the four corner handles so the green outline hugs the document.
  3. Pick a filter. Choose Colour, Grayscale, or Black & white, then tap "Scan" to straighten and crop the page.
  4. Save your scan. Download the result as a JPG, or "Save as PDF" to set page size, file name, and export.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded or private?

They're private. The camera capture, edge detection, cropping, and PDF export all happen locally in your browser — no image or file is ever sent to a server.

Is it free and do I need an account?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up. Just open the page and start scanning.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. On a phone it opens the rear camera by default, and the corner handles are designed for dragging with your finger. If the camera isn't available, you can upload a photo instead.

Can I straighten a document shot at an angle?

Yes. Once you fit the four corners to the page, it applies a perspective transform to warp the page flat and square, removing the angle and background.

What's the difference between the Colour, Grayscale, and Black & white filters?

Colour keeps the original image, Grayscale removes colour, and Black & white applies an adaptive threshold for a high-contrast, paper-like scan that's ideal for text documents.

Can I save the scan as a PDF?

Yes. "Save as PDF" opens the export screen where you can set the page size, rename the file, and download it as a PDF, or you can grab a JPG directly.
