How to scan a document to PDF on Android
Good light and a flat page give the best result.
- Open Document Scanner and allow camera access when Android asks.
- Place the page on a flat, plain surface in good light and hold the phone steady.
- Capture the page. The app detects the edges, and you can adjust the crop.
- Enhance the scan if the text looks faint, then add more pages if needed.
- Save as a PDF or image, put it in a folder, or share it. Keep another copy of anything important.
Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a document with my phone?
Open the app, allow camera access, place the page on a flat surface and capture it. The app finds the edges, lets you crop and enhance, and saves a PDF or image.
Are my scanned documents uploaded anywhere?
No. Scans are kept on your phone and processed on your device. The app does not upload them, and they are never given to Google or to advertisers.
Can I organise my scans?
Yes. Scans can be saved into folders you name, and exported as PDFs or images.
Why does the app need camera permission?
The camera is how pages are captured, so the scanner cannot work without it. Your other photos and files are not accessed.
Will a scan be accepted as an original document?
Not always. Some authorities, courts and businesses require originals or certified copies, so check before you rely on a scan.
Is Document Scanner free?
The app is free and supported by ads, with consent choices where the law requires them.
