Questions
How accurate is it?+
Clean 300 DPI scans are usually near-perfect. Skewed or low-light photos lose accuracy — re-capture flat and bright.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every PDFOnCall tool runs inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That is also why it finishes in seconds instead of waiting in an upload queue.
