About Scan to PDF
Capture document photos with your camera or choose existing images, enhance them and assemble one ordered PDF.
Good scans are flat, evenly lit and fill most of the frame. Grayscale and contrast controls can make receipts and printed pages easier to read before PDF export.
What the result contains
A separate result that capture or select document photos and create a PDF. The source remains unchanged in the current browser session.
Supported formats
- JPG
- PNG
- WEBP
How to use Scan to PDF
- Choose the source files in a supported format (JPEG, PNG, WEBP) and confirm the displayed file details.
- Prepare the available controls for this practical goal: Turn a photographed receipt or letter into a shareable PDF
- Run Scan to PDF and confirm that the new result matches the stated outcome before saving it.
- Check this known constraint before download: There is no automatic edge detection or perspective correction, so frame each page flat and evenly lit If needed, revise the settings and create another version from the retained source.
Practical example
Turn a photographed receipt or letter into a shareable PDF. Use a representative source, compare the output with the original, and keep the version that meets the destination's requirements.
When to use Scan to PDF
- Turn a photographed receipt or letter into a shareable PDF
- Combine several captured pages into one document
- Improve contrast on a printed page before saving it as a PDF
Important limitations
- There is no automatic edge detection or perspective correction, so frame each page flat and evenly lit
- Grayscale and contrast adjustments apply to the whole batch, not individual pages
Troubleshooting Scan to PDF
The result is different from what you expected
There is no automatic edge detection or perspective correction, so frame each page flat and evenly lit Return to the retained source, adjust the relevant setting and create a fresh result rather than repeatedly processing the output.
