How to Scan a Document to PDF with Your Phone (No App)

You do not need a scanner or a scanning app. Your phone camera and this page are enough.

Step by step

Open Scan to PDF on your phone. Take a photo of each page, flat and well lit, then add them in order. Download the PDF.

Better photos

Put the page on a dark, plain surface. Avoid shadows. Hold the phone directly above the page.

Make it searchable

After scanning, run Recognize text (OCR) so you can search and copy the text. It supports English, Hindi and other Indian languages.
