Turn your camera into a document scanner
No scanner? No problem. This document scanner online uses your webcam or phone camera to capture paper documents, then straightens and cleans them up so they look like proper scans. Capture as many pages as you need, put them in order and download a single PDF, ready to email, upload or archive.
How it works
- Capture. Lay the page flat in good light and press Capture page. On a phone, the back camera is used automatically.
- Straighten. Drag the four corner handles onto the corners of the paper. The page is flattened with perspective correction, so even a photo taken at an angle comes out square.
- Enhance. Choose Enhanced, Grayscale, B&W or Original. B&W uses adaptive thresholding for crisp text even with uneven lighting.
- Export. Download one page as a JPG, or every page as a multi-page PDF.
Tips for sharper scans
Light matters most: daylight from a window, with no shadow from your phone or hand across the page. Put the paper on a darker surface so the edges stand out. Hold the camera parallel to the page and fill the frame. With a webcam, a higher resolution helps. Check what yours supports with the resolution test.
