Frequently Asked Questions

Does this clean up photos of documents automatically?

Yes — photos are processed with a scan-style cleanup so the result looks like a proper document scan rather than a raw photo.

Can I combine multiple photos into one multi-page scanned PDF?

Yes — upload several photos and each becomes a page in the same PDF, in the order you selected them.

What image formats can I upload for scanning?

Any common photo format works — JPG, PNG, WebP, etc.

Is there a limit on how many pages I can scan at once?

You can upload up to 30 photos in a single conversion.

Does this remove shadows or perspective distortion from phone photos?

It applies a scan-style cleanup pass, but it isn’t a full perspective-correction or shadow-removal engine — for best results, photograph documents flat and well-lit.
