Frequently Asked Questions

Scan to PDF FAQs

Answers to the questions people ask most about using Scan to PDF.

How do I scan a document to PDF with my phone?

Open Scan to PDF on MyPDFMate in your phone's browser, allow camera access, and capture each page. When you're done, create the PDF and download it. All pages end up in one file.

Can I scan to PDF for free without an app?

Yes. Scan to PDF works in Safari, Chrome and other mobile browsers with no app, account or watermark.

How do I scan multiple pages into one PDF?

Capture each page one after another. MyPDFMate combines every captured page into a single PDF in the order you took them.

How do I scan a document as a PDF on iPhone?

Use Scan to PDF in Safari, or the built-in scanner: in the Notes app, tap the attachment button and choose Scan Documents, then share the scan as a PDF.

Does Android have a built-in PDF scanner?

The Google Drive app has a Scan button that saves PDFs, and some phones include scanning in the camera app. Scan to PDF on MyPDFMate works in Chrome on any Android phone without installing anything.

Can I turn photos already on my phone into a PDF?

Yes. Upload the JPG or PNG images instead of using the camera, or use JPG to PDF, which lets you reorder the images first.

How do I scan a document and send it as a PDF?

Scan the pages, download the PDF, then attach it to an email or message. On a phone, you can share the downloaded file straight from Files or Downloads.

Are my scanned pages uploaded to a server?

No. The camera images are turned into a PDF on your device, so your documents stay private.

Will my scanned PDF be searchable?

Not automatically. A scan is a picture of each page. To get text you can copy and search, run the page images through OCR PDF.

Why isn't my camera working in Scan to PDF?

Your browser needs permission to use the camera. Allow it when prompted, or enable it in your browser's site settings, and close other apps that might be using the camera.

How do I get the best scan quality?

Use bright, even light, place the page on a flat dark surface, fill the frame with the page, and hold the phone steady and parallel to the paper.

Can I scan to PDF on a computer?

Yes. Scan to PDF uses your laptop's webcam if there's no rear camera, or you can upload photos taken on another device.
