About this tool
Turn photos of paper documents taken with your phone into a clean PDF you can email or upload. ScanText at scantext.net opens your device camera right in the browser — capture one page or many, then export them as a single PDF, no app to install. You can also pick existing photos from your device instead of using the camera. It's the quick way to digitize a receipt, contract, ID, or handwritten note and send it as a proper PDF. Because pages are processed on your device, your captures never reach our servers. No account, no watermark, and it works on Android, iPhone and desktop webcams in any modern browser.
