Document Scanner — Scan to PDF

🔒 Scanned in your browser — your camera & photos never leave your device

A real scanner, not just image-to-PDF: capture with your camera, auto-crop the page edges, straighten the perspective, and enhance to a crisp scan — then save a clean PDF.

“Use camera” opens your phone’s own camera app — shoot the page, then it lands here for cropping. Place the document on a plain, contrasting surface (a dark table works well) and fill the frame. On a laptop it opens the file picker instead.

A real scanner in your browser — not just image-to-PDF

Most "scan" tools just drop your photos into a PDF. ToolGalli's scanner does what a scanner app does: it detects the four corners of the document, applies a perspective correction (deskew) so a page photographed at an angle becomes a straight, rectangular scan, and enhances it — brightening the paper, removing shadows, and offering a crisp black-&-white "Magic" mode for text. The output looks scanned, not snapped. And unlike app-store scanners, nothing is uploaded — your photos and all processing stay on your device.

Scan to PDF vs JPG to PDF — which do I need?

Who uses this tool

Students turning photographed class notes into a single clean PDF, professionals sending a photographed agreement or signed form as a proper scanned document, and anyone submitting photographed certificates to a portal that expects a scan.

How to scan a document

  1. Tap Use camera and capture each page (or Choose images from your device).
  2. For each page, drag the four corners to the edges — the auto-crop gets you close; tap Sharpen auto-detect for a stronger guess.
  3. Pick an enhancement — Colour for photos/certificates, Magic B&W for text and notes — and preview the result.
  4. Click Create PDF to download your clean, multi-page scan. Print it too if you like.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from JPG to PDF?

JPG to PDF just places images in a PDF. This detects page edges, corrects perspective (deskew) and enhances to a crisp scan first.

Can I scan with my phone camera?

Yes — tap Use camera to capture pages one after another. You can also choose existing photos. Everything stays in your browser.

Is it a free CamScanner alternative?

Yes — free, no app or sign-up, and nothing is uploaded: the camera and processing stay on your device.

Can I preview each page before saving?

Yes — each page is a thumbnail; tap it to preview the de-skewed, enhanced result and adjust before creating the PDF.
