Frequently asked questions
Is this online scanner really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no page limit. The site is supported by ads.
Are my documents uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Your photos and PDFs are never sent to us, so it is safe for IDs, contracts and bank papers.
How do I scan with my phone?
Open this page on your phone, tap “Take photo”, and photograph the page on a dark, flat surface. The page is cropped and enhanced automatically; add more pages, then tap Download PDF.
Can I make the PDF smaller?
Yes. Choose a “Max file size” such as 200 KB or 1 MB before downloading. We lower the quality step by step until the file fits, which is useful for job, visa and exam upload forms.
