Frequently asked questions
Are my scans uploaded?
No. Photos are taken and turned into a PDF in your browser.
The camera does not open. What can I do?
Allow camera access for this site in your browser settings. If you already have photos of the pages, use JPG to PDF instead.
How do I get a clean scan?
Place the page on a dark, flat surface in good light and hold the phone straight above it. If the file is too large, run it through Compress PDF.
