Frequently Asked Questions About Scan Document
Will my PDF file be uploaded to a server?
No — nothing is uploaded. This tool runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly/JavaScript; your file never leaves your device.
Is there a file-size limit, a usage cap, or a hidden fee?
It's free and unlimited, with no watermark and no forced file-size cap — the only real limit is your own device's memory for very large files.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No — no account, email, or sign-up is required for any tool. Just start using it.
Can I use this on my phone (iPhone or Android)?
Yes — it works in any modern mobile browser, no app install needed.
Can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF?
Yes. You can capture several photos in one session, drag to reorder them, and compile them into a single ordered PDF.
Does the tool automatically correct skewed or angled photos?
No, this version does not auto-correct perspective or skew yet, so aim to capture each page as flat and squarely as possible.
