Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to photograph a document before converting it to PDF?+
Use good, even lighting, place the document on a flat dark surface for contrast, and shoot straight-on from directly above to avoid perspective distortion. This gives the cleanest result once converted to PDF.
Can I combine multiple scanned pages of the same document into one PDF?+
Yes — photograph each page separately, add all the images to the tool, and arrange them in reading order before converting to a single multi-page PDF.
Is a photo of a scanned ID document safe to convert online?+
The conversion runs in your browser, so the image isn't stored on a remote server during the process. For highly sensitive documents like ID cards, always delete the original photos from your device afterwards as a precaution.
Will the PDF look like a proper scan, or just a photo?+
The tool crops and sizes the image to standard page dimensions, giving a cleaner, more document-like result than a raw phone photo, though it won't apply automatic edge-detection like a dedicated scanning app.
What file format should I use for scanned contracts — PDF or JPG?+
PDF is strongly preferred for contracts and official documents. It's the expected format for legal and business paperwork, prints consistently, and can hold multiple pages in one file, unlike a single JPG.
Can I convert a scanned document to PDF and then merge it with other files?+
Yes — once your scanned pages are a PDF, use the PDF merge tool to combine them with other documents, such as a cover letter or an existing digital contract.
