Works Everywhere

Compatible with all modern browsers on desktop and mobile devices

Turn paper or images into a useful file

Capture a page with your device camera or import images you already have. You can also import a PDF to separate and reorganize its pages before creating a new file. No scanner hardware or account is required.

Controls you can see and adjust

Preview each page and adjust it yourself. Crop unwanted edges, rotate orientation, zoom the preview, and tune brightness or contrast before downloading. The tool does not claim to repair every image automatically; the preview shows the result you will export.

Multi-Page Document Support

Digitize entire documents by scanning multiple pages in a single session. Our scanner allows you to upload or capture numerous pages and organize them seamlessly into one cohesive PDF document. Each page maintains its quality and clarity while being compiled into a single file. You can add pages dynamically, remove any pages that don't meet your standards, reorder pages to match your preferred sequence, and preview each page individually before creating your final PDF.

Flexible Input Methods

Choose the scanning method that works best for your situation. Use your mobile device's camera to capture documents directly, or upload pre-existing images from your computer. This flexibility means you can scan documents on the go with your smartphone or tablet, or digitize images you already have on your computer. The tool accepts all standard image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, and more, making it compatible with any device or source.

Private, transient document processing

JPG and PNG exports stay in your browser. To create a searchable PDF, pages are encrypted in transit and processed transiently by Ademero's Google Cloud Document AI service. The document image and recognized text are not stored. No account is required. Ademero records limited anonymous usage events—such as whether processing succeeded, page count, output size, and quality status—but those events do not include your document, filename, or document contents.

Compact, searchable PDF output

Pages are resized and compressed for practical sharing instead of embedding enormous raw phone photos. Optical character recognition adds selectable, searchable text while preserving the page image, making the result useful for email, cloud storage, printing, and archiving.

Intuitive User Interface

Our scanner is designed for simplicity and efficiency. The clean, intuitive interface requires no technical knowledge to use effectively. Simply select your input method, capture or upload images, preview and enhance your scans, and download your PDF—the entire process takes just minutes. Whether you're a business professional, student, or individual managing personal documents, you'll find the tool straightforward and efficient.

Perfect for Any Use Case

Our document scanner is ideal for numerous applications: scanning receipts and invoices for expense tracking, digitizing business documents for paperless offices, creating archival copies of important records, converting handwritten notes into digital format, capturing conference materials and presentations, archiving legal documents, organizing insurance paperwork, digitizing educational materials, and much more. The versatility of our tool makes it an essential utility for anyone dealing with documents in today's digital world.
