Scan to PDF
Capture documents from your phone and send them straight into a PDF.
How to scan a document to PDF from your phone
Open the tool on your phone
Tap the button to take a photo or choose images already saved in your gallery. No app to install: your browser's camera opens directly.
Add as many pages as you need
Repeat the process for every page of the document you want to scan; you can combine several photos into the same PDF.
Generate and download your PDF
The photos become a single PDF document, ready to save or share. Everything happens in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server.
Why scan documents to PDF on PDFDocks?
Many mobile scanning apps require you to install a specific application and often create an account before you can use them. At PDFDocks, scanning is done directly from your mobile browser: you press the button, your browser's camera opens (not an external app), you take the photos you need, and they're automatically combined into a single PDF. The entire process—from photo to final PDF—happens on your device, with nothing uploaded to a server or dependent on an installed app. It's especially useful for occasional scans: there's no point installing a full application just to scan a document once a month.
What quality can I achieve?
+
Yes. The photos you take are processed directly in your browser with JavaScript, without being uploaded to any server at any time.
Do I need to install an app to scan with my mobile?
+
No. Your mobile browser's camera opens directly, with no need to install any additional application.
Does the PDF include all pages I scanned?
+
No. The entire process, from capture to PDF generation, happens on your own device.
Is my scan private?
+
Yes. You can add photos of each page of the document and combine them all into a single PDF file.
Can I edit scans after creating the PDF?
+
Yes, you can choose images already saved in your gallery instead of taking new photos at the moment.
Does it work just as well from a computer?
+
It's designed mainly for mobile (where using the camera makes sense), but you can also use it from a computer by selecting already saved images.
