Scan to PDF — Free Online Document Scanner

Free online document scanner — a CamScanner alternative that works right in your browser. It detects document edges automatically, straightens the perspective, and applies photocopy filters to turn phone photos into a clean multipage PDF. No app, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.

Document scanner is live — free

Tap Take a photo to open the scanner: it finds your document's edges live, lets you fine-tune the corners, then offers B&W, Grayscale and Color+ photocopy filters. Each scanned page is added to your PDF — drag to reorder, then download one multipage document. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

How to scan to PDF

  1. Tap Take a photo — the document scanner detects page edges automatically, or drop images in the box above.
  2. Drag the corners to fine-tune, then pick a B&W, grayscale or enhanced-color filter.
  3. Choose a page size (A4, Letter, or fit to image) and margins.
  4. Drag photos to reorder them — each becomes one PDF page.
  5. Click Create PDF and download your multipage document.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scan to PDF free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark. Everything runs in your browser.

Is this a good CamScanner alternative?

Yes — it's a free online document scanner with the key CamScanner-style features: automatic edge detection, perspective correction, and photocopy filters. No app install or account needed, and your documents never leave your device.

How do I scan with my phone camera?

Open this page on your phone and tap Take a photo — the document scanner opens, detects the page edges live, and each shot is added as a page. Add more shots for multipage documents.

Can I make the scan look like a photocopy?

Yes — after capturing a page, choose the B&W filter for a crisp black-and-white photocopy look, Grayscale for a softer copy, or Color+ for an enhanced color scan with even lighting.

Any tips for cleaner scans?

Use bright, even light, hold your phone parallel to the page, and wipe the lens first — smudges are the most common cause of blurry scans.

Can I combine several scanned pages into one PDF?

Yes — add as many photos as you like and they're all combined into a single multipage PDF. Drag the thumbnails to reorder pages first.
