How It Works
- 1
Click "Start Scanning" above
A QR code appears immediately — no sign-up, no install required.
- 2
Scan the QR code with your phone
Open your phone camera and point it at the QR code. Your phone just needs internet — it does not have to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
- 3
Capture your document pages
The mobile interface opens automatically. Tap the capture button for each page.
- 4
Edit, crop and download
Pages appear in real time on your desktop. Reorder or remove any page, adjust crop corners, choose auto-enhance or original colour, then download your PDF.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download an app?+
No. The mobile scanner opens entirely in your phone browser — nothing to install.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?+
Yes. It uses the standard browser camera API, supported by Safari on iOS and Chrome or Firefox on Android.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?+
No. Your phone just needs any internet connection. The QR code opens a link to imageandpdf.com and all communication goes through our servers.
Are my documents stored?+
No. Files are held in temporary server storage for up to 1 hour then automatically deleted. Nothing is retained after your session ends.
How many pages can I scan?+
There is no hard limit. For best results scan up to 20-30 pages per session to keep file sizes manageable.
What does "Auto-enhance" do?+
Auto-enhance applies an adaptive threshold filter that turns the image into crisp black text on a clean white background — the classic photocopied look. "Original colour" keeps the image as-is after the perspective correction.
