About the Scan to PDF

The scanner most people actually have is the camera in their phone. Capturing pages directly into a PDF removes the awkward middle step of photographing pages, transferring the images to a computer and assembling them into a document that a portal will accept.

This tool uses your device camera to capture pages one after another and builds them into a single multi-page PDF. Everything happens in the browser, so pages of a contract, a passport or a medical record are never uploaded — which is precisely the property you want when scanning documents of that kind.

It's part of the PDF collection on Toolzy, a growing platform of 135+ free, privacy-first tools built for speed and a great experience on every device.

Also known as: camera, scan, document, pdf.
