Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install a scanner app?
No — this works right in your phone or tablet's own browser. Tap Take a Photo, your camera opens, and the photo gets added as a page. No app store, no install, no account.
How many pages can I scan into one PDF?
There's no fixed limit — nothing is uploaded, so there's no server-side cap. Take as many photos in a row as you need; the only real ceiling is your own device's memory.
Can I retake or remove a page before creating the PDF?
Yes — every captured page shows as a thumbnail with its own remove button, so you can drop a blurry or out-of-order shot and take it again before finishing.
Does this work on a computer without a camera?
Yes — Take a Photo just opens your computer's normal file picker instead, letting you combine a few existing photos into one PDF the same way. The camera capture itself is really a phone/tablet feature.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere to create the PDF?
No. Every photo stays on your device the whole time — they're turned into a PDF entirely in your browser using JavaScript, and nothing is ever sent to a server.
