What This Tool Does

It converts photos into a PDF. Take photos of your documents with your phone camera, add them to this tool, and download a single multi-page PDF. Each photo becomes one page.

No scanner needed. Your phone camera is enough for most documents when used with decent lighting and a steady hand.

How to Use It

• On mobile, tap Take Photo to open your camera directly.
• Alternatively, tap Add Images to select existing photos from your gallery.
• Add multiple photos for multi-page documents.
• Tap Create PDF and download the result.

Tips for Better Scans

Good lighting makes a significant difference. Natural light or a bright indoor lamp works well. Avoid overhead lights that cast shadows across the page.

Hold the phone directly above the document and keep it parallel to the surface. Angled shots distort the text. A flat, plain background makes it easier to see the document edges clearly.

For documents with small text, hold the phone closer and let the camera focus before taking the shot.

Common Uses

• Scanning receipts for expense reports or warranty claims
• Converting physical forms or applications into a PDF before submitting
• Creating a digital copy of signed documents
• Scanning handwritten notes into a portable format
• Making PDF copies of important physical documents for backup

Frequently Asked Questions

How many photos can I add?

No limit. Each photo becomes one page in the PDF.

What image formats are accepted?

JPG and PNG. Most phone cameras produce JPG files by default.

Can I use this on a desktop computer?

Yes. Use the Add Images option to select image files from your computer instead of taking photos.

The text in my scanned PDF looks blurry. Why?

The photo quality determines the output quality. Retake the photo in better lighting, holding the camera steady directly above the document.

Can I extract text from the scanned PDF later?

Yes. Use the OCR PDF tool to extract readable text from any scanned PDF you create with this tool.
