Scan paper documents with your camera
Turn your phone or laptop camera into a document scanner. Take a photo of each page, or add photos you already have, put them in order and choose a scan style: Document turns the page black on white and removes shadows, Greyscale keeps shading, and Color leaves the photo as it is. The pages are saved as one PDF. There is no app to install and your photos never leave your device.
