Good to know
For the best scan, lay the page on a darker surface in even light and hold the phone straight above it. Quikdo looks for the bright sheet of paper, flattens it to a rectangle and crops away the table.
Enhanced keeps colour but makes the paper white and the ink crisp. Black and white removes shadows and gives the smallest file, ideal for forms and letters. Gray is good for photos and drawings.
Add several photos to make one multi-page PDF. Pages are saved in the order shown; if the result is too large to upload, run it through Compress PDF.
Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a document with my phone?
Open this page in your phone's browser, tap Take a photo, and the page edges are found and straightened. Add more pages, then download one PDF.
Do I need an app?
No. It works in Safari or Chrome on your phone, with nothing to install.
How do I scan multiple pages into one PDF?
Take a photo of each page in turn. They're added in order to the same PDF, up to 10 pages on the free plan.
What if the edges are wrong?
Drag the four corner handles onto the page corners, or tap Whole photo to keep everything.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Edges are found and pages are straightened on your phone, so the photos never leave it.
