Questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser opens and changes the file on your own device. You can check this yourself: once the site has loaded, turn off your internet and the tool still works.
Do I need to install an app?
No. On a phone, Take a photo opens your camera straight from the browser. On a computer, add photos you have already taken.
Does it find the edges of the paper by itself?
Not yet. Each photo starts as a whole page; use Adjust corners to drag the four handles onto the corners of the paper. The page is then straightened, even if the photo was taken at an angle.
Which look should I choose?
Black and white makes printed text crisp, turns the paper white and keeps the file small. Grayscale suits pages with pictures or pencil. Original colours keeps stamps, highlights and signatures in colour.
Can I search the text in the PDF?
Not yet. The pages are pictures of the paper. Text recognition (OCR) is planned for a later release.
