About the Scan to PDF

Scan to PDF accepts multiple document photos from storage or a supported mobile camera and assembles them into one PDF. Each chosen image becomes one page at its natural aspect ratio.

Thumbnail cards support visual review, removal, and page ordering before generation. The tool preserves the selected images rather than automatically cropping, deskewing, enhancing, or recognizing their text.

Camera capture, image decoding, and PDF creation happen on the device. High-resolution photos can consume substantial mobile memory, so smaller batches may be more reliable.

Key features

  • Mobile rear-camera capture where supported
  • Existing JPG and PNG selection
  • Multiple image pages
  • Visual thumbnail review
  • Page ordering and removal
