Scan settings
Scan to PDF is a free, private document scanner that works like CamScanner but never uploads anything. Capture document photos with your phone or webcam camera, or drop in existing photos, apply a scan filter to make text crisp, reorder the pages, and download a clean multi-page PDF. Everything runs in your browser, so your documents stay on your device โ no account, no app, no limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan a document to PDF for free?
Click "Use camera" to start your phone or laptop camera, point it at the document, and press Capture to add each page. Or upload existing photos. Choose a scan filter and page size, then click Create PDF to download a multi-page scan.pdf. It is completely free with no signup.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. Scan to PDF runs 100% in your browser using the camera and Canvas APIs. Your photos are processed locally and the PDF is built on your device, so nothing is ever uploaded. This makes it ideal for private or sensitive documents.
Which scan filters can I apply?
Four filters: Color (as captured), Grayscale, Black & White (a threshold that makes text crisp on a clean white background), and Auto-enhance (boosts contrast and whitens the paper). You can set one filter for all pages or override the filter per page.
Can I scan multiple pages into one PDF?
Yes. Capture or upload as many pages as you need โ each becomes a page in the final PDF. You can reorder pages with the up and down buttons, remove any page, then export them all into a single multi-page PDF.
What page sizes are supported?
You can output to A4 (default) or US Letter, where each scan is scaled to fit and centered with matching orientation, or choose Fit to image to make every PDF page exactly match its photo's dimensions.
Why does the camera not start?
The browser needs camera permission, and camera access requires a secure (https) page. If you deny permission or no camera is available, you will see a friendly message and can still add pages by uploading document photos instead.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On phones it uses the rear (environment-facing) camera by default, which is best for documents. The whole tool is responsive and works in mobile browsers without installing an app.
