Document Scanner

Turn photos of documents into a clean PDF — edges are detected, perspective corrected and shadows removed automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the document scanner and image to PDF?

Image to PDF places the photo on the page as-is. The document scanner first finds the paper's edges, corrects the perspective of a photo taken at an angle and removes shadows — the result looks like it came out of a real scanner.

What happens if no edges are found?

The photo is used as-is and the job still completes. Cropping with the wrong corners would cut off part of your document, so no crop is applied when detection is uncertain.

Which filter should I choose?

"Document" (the default) gives the best result for text on white paper. Use "Original" for colour content, passports or photos, and "Black & white" for the smallest file size.

Can I combine several pages into one PDF?

Yes. Add multiple photos; the order in the list becomes the page order in the PDF, and you can reorder them with the arrows.

Is the text in the scanned PDF searchable?

Yes. Pick a language under "Text recognition (OCR)" and an invisible text layer is added to the output, making the PDF searchable. It is off by default because recognition noticeably lengthens processing; leave it off if you only want the image corrected.
