Scan to PDF
Turn a photo of a document into a straight, clean PDF.
Your document never leaves your browser.
Choose JPG, PNG or WebP photos
or drop them here
How it works
- Add one photo per page — camera or file.
- Each page gets its corners found, straightened, and its contrast lifted. Drag the corners if the guess is off.
- Reorder pages, then export a PDF.
When the browser is not enough
Scanly for Android
Live edge detection through the camera, text recognition that makes the PDF searchable, a signature you can place, and batch capture. All of it on the phone.
In closed testing. There is no public Play link yet, so there is no button here yet.
Scanly Pro
Pro is the paid tier in the Android app. It cannot be bought on the web yet — checkout is not connected, and we would rather say that than show you a price you cannot pay.
Questions
Do my files get uploaded?
No. The processing runs in this page, in your browser. There is no upload step, and there is no server here that could receive one. You can check: open your browser's network tab and run a scan.
How good is the automatic edge detection?
Good on a document that contrasts with what it is lying on. Poor on a white page on a white desk, or a page shot at a steep angle. It tells you when it is not confident rather than quietly using the whole photo, and when it is wrong you drag the four corners yourself — that path is exact and always available.
Is there a big download the first time?
No. The edge finder is about seven kilobytes of ordinary JavaScript, written for this and nothing else. The usual way to do this is a ten-megabyte computer-vision library, which we are not going to make every visitor pay for.
Can I scan several pages into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many photos as you like, reorder them by dragging, and export once.
Is the text in the PDF searchable?
Not on the web version. The PDF holds page images. Text recognition is in the Android app.
