Useful next steps

Convert JPG and PNG images to PDFBring JPG and PNG images together in a PDF. Check the image order and review the generated pages before downloading.
PDF OCR: make scanned text searchableRecognize printed German or English text in PDF scans. Add a searchable text layer and check the recognized content.
Rotate selected PDF pagesRotate PDF pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Correct their orientation and check the saved result.

Capture readable pages and check the corners

Place the paper on a contrasting background with even light and keep all four corners visible. Automatic edge detection can struggle with shadows or low contrast; adjust the corners manually if needed. Perspective correction straightens the selected area, but it cannot recover blurred letters or details lost in glare. Inspect small print after alignment before accepting the page.

Choose filters and understand the processing

Color, grayscale and black-and-white appearances suit different originals. Compare fine lines, stamps and faint writing before choosing a stronger filter. Image correction happens in your browser; the processed images are sent to the server to create the PDF. The result contains scanned page images, not automatically recognized text. Use OCR as a separate step when you need searchable wording.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use the camera?

No. You can choose existing images instead. Camera availability depends on your device, browser and permission settings, so image selection is also useful on a desktop.

Can I change the order before creating the PDF?

Yes. Move, rotate or remove pages in the scanner. It supports up to 20 pages; check the final sequence before creating the combined PDF.
