How to Scan a Document to PDF on iPhone — exact PDF, in your browser

Two ways: use the iPhone Notes app to scan and bring the photos here, or use the in-page camera directly on iPhone Safari.

How it works

How to how to scan to pdf on iphone

  1. STEP 01
    Option A — Notes scanner

    Open the Notes app on your iPhone, tap the camera icon, choose “Scan Documents,” and capture each page. Notes auto-detects edges and saves PDF pages.

  2. STEP 02
    Save the Notes scans as images, then drop them here

    Long-press the scan in Notes, share to Files or Photos, then come back to this page and choose those files. Each Notes page becomes a PDF page here.

  3. STEP 03
    Option B — Use this page’s camera directly

    Click “Scan with camera” on this page in Safari. Capture each page in-browser. Skip the Notes round-trip entirely.

  4. STEP 04
    Reorder and download

    Adjust the order with up/down arrows if needed, then tap Download PDF.

Why this works

Why this beats uploading to a generic converter

  • Nothing leaves your browser

    Camera frames, file contents and the assembled PDF all stay in your tab. Verify in DevTools: no file payloads leave the page.

  • Scan or upload, mix as you like

    Use the in-page camera, your phone’s native camera, or existing files from your device — combine all three in one PDF.

  • Page ordering and removal

    Move pages up or down, remove the blurry ones, and the final PDF reflects exactly what you arranged.

  • No signup, no watermark

    No account creation, no email, no “upgrade for full quality.” Free, in-browser, every time.

FAQ

Common questions

Why use this instead of the iPhone Notes app to make a PDF?+
Notes is great for scanning but its sharing flow forces you through Apple’s share sheet and limits how you can rename, reorder or merge PDFs. This page does scan-and-merge in one step, and the file never leaves Safari.
Does the in-page camera work on iPhone Safari?+
Yes. iOS 13 and newer support the camera API in Safari (and in third-party browsers that use WebKit). You’ll see the standard iOS permission prompt the first time.
Is my scan uploaded anywhere?+
No. Both the camera feed and any files you choose stay inside your browser tab. The PDF is built locally with JavaScript and offered to you as a download. Open your browser’s Network tab while scanning — no file payloads leave the page.
Why does the camera permission prompt appear?+
Browsers require explicit permission for camera access on every site. Granting permission only allows this tab to read your camera; it does not let us send anything anywhere. You can revoke it any time in your browser settings.
Can I add more pages after starting?+
Yes. Capture or upload pages one at a time, reorder them with the up/down arrows, and click Download PDF when you’re ready. Nothing is finalised until you download.
What image formats are supported?+
JPEG and PNG. If your phone produced HEIC files, save them as JPEG from your photo app first, or use the in-page camera which always outputs JPEG.
Is there a desktop app for fully offline use?+
A desktop app for fully offline document scanning is in development — sign up via the home page to be notified at launch.
