Scan Paper to PDF From Your Camera

Capture a page, keep it local, and leave with a PDF instead of a camera roll of JPEGs.

How to scan to PDF

  1. Allow the camera: Grant permission when the browser asks. Capture happens on this device.
  2. Photograph each page: Line up the document and capture. Add more pages as needed.
  3. Save the PDF: Export a multi-page PDF of the captures.

Why this tool

  • Phone or laptop webcam: Use whatever camera the browser can see. No extra scanner app.
  • Local PDF: Images are assembled into a PDF in the browser, not sent out for OCR unless you open OCR next.

Frequently asked questions

Does scan include OCR?

Scan captures page images. Run OCR afterward if you need selectable text.

Is the camera feed uploaded?

No. The getUserMedia stream stays in the page. The PDF is built locally.
