Choosing the right enhance mode

Black & White Document works best for text-only pages: sharpest text, smallest file. Grayscale keeps more shading detail. Color stays close to the original photo, useful when the source has meaningful color in it.

A typical use case

Scanning a rental agreement, an ID card, or a handwritten note while out and about, with no scanner in sight, just a phone camera and a couple of taps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work on desktop too, or only phones?

On desktop it lets you choose existing photo files instead of opening a camera, so you can still build a multi-page PDF from photos you've already taken.

Can I scan more than one page?

Yes, capture or select as many as you need; each becomes a separate page in the final PDF, in order.

Which enhance mode should I use?

Black & White for text-only pages, Grayscale for more shading detail, Color when the original's color matters.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No, capturing, enhancing, and assembling the PDF all happen locally on your device.
