Frequently asked questions
Can I make one PDF from several photos?
Yes. Select all of them at once or add more later: each photo becomes one page and you can drag them to change the order before creating the PDF.
Do photos lose quality in the PDF?
Very little. Large photos are scaled to at most 3000 pixels on the long side and saved at high quality, which keeps documents readable while the PDF stays a reasonable size.
Can I take the picture with the camera?
On phones, the file picker usually lets you take a new picture or choose one from the gallery. To scan paper with edge detection and several pages in a row, use the catScan Android app.
Are my files stored?
No. This tool processes the file on your device, inside the browser: it is not uploaded to any server and nothing is stored.
