Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to install an app?

No. Scanning runs in your phone’s browser, in Safari on an iPhone as well as in Chrome on Android. You do not need an account either.

Are the photos uploaded?

No. The photos are straightened and put together as a PDF on your phone. They never leave the device.

What happens when I tap “Open camera”?

Your phone’s camera starts; after taking the shot you come back here with the photo and take the next page. To use photos you already have, pick them from your gallery instead.

How do I get the best scan?

Put the sheet on a darker surface, use even light and keep the whole page in the picture. The “Black & white” mode evens out most shadows.

How do I get the PDF off my phone?

Share links are unavailable at launch. Download the PDF and share it yourself.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Scanning runs in your browser and is always free.

How the handover works →

The scanner you already have

Sending back a signed form, a receipt for an expense claim, a letter for your files: hardly anyone has a scanner to hand any more, but everyone has a phone. Open this page in your phone’s browser and the camera becomes a scanner, with no app and no sign-up.

Straight, even if the photo is not

Hardly any phone photo is taken from exactly above. The page edges are found, the sheet is straightened into a rectangle and keeps its proportions. If no edges are found, drag the four corners onto the sheet with your finger.

As readable as a scanner

In “Black & white” mode, shadows and uneven light are evened out and text becomes crisp. “Grayscale” keeps pictures and pencil, “Color” keeps stamps and colored highlights. You choose the mode for each page.

Keep going

Several pages become one PDF. With “Continue with” you go on without uploading again, for example to sign it or to merge it with other documents.
