Your files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed automatically and permanently deleted after 1 hour. Nobody looks at them. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

How to use

  1. Take photos of the pages (good light, whole page in the frame) and choose them — up to 20 at once.
  2. Pick a color mode: Black & white looks like a classic scan, Color keeps stamps and signatures.
  3. Choose PDF (all pages in one file) or JPG images.
  4. Press Start and download your scan.

The tool finds the edges of the sheet, corrects perspective so the page becomes a straight rectangle, evens out shadows and increases contrast.
