Turn a Photo Into a Scanned PDF
A photo of paper is not a scan — it is tilted, shadowed and grey. This tool detects the page edges, flattens the perspective, removes the shadow and whitens the background.

Questions
How is this different from photo-to-PDF?+
Photo to PDF just wraps the JPEG in a PDF. This tool actually processes the image: crop, de-skew, de-shadow, whiten and sharpen, so it looks like it came off a scanner.
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.
