Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?

All common image formats are supported: JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, and GIF. For best results, use JPEG or PNG images at 300 DPI or higher.

How can I get the best quality scan?

Ensure good lighting, keep the document flat, and capture at a resolution of at least 300 DPI. For text documents, black and white or grayscale images produce smaller file sizes with good readability.

Can I create multi-page PDFs?

Yes. Upload multiple images — each image becomes a page in the PDF. The order follows the order you upload them. You can also combine photos from your camera with uploaded images.

How do I check if a PDF is a scan?

Use the 'Check if PDF is a scan' section below. It analyzes whether the PDF consists of scanned images or contains selectable text. Scanned PDFs don't have selectable text until OCR is applied.
