Scan a photo without a scanner
You do not need a flatbed. The phone already captured the page. Upload that camera-roll file, wait for the sheet to be found, and export. Bound books still belong on a hardware scanner.
What the scan photo step changes
The export is a flattened, high-contrast page a form will accept. Desk edges and lamp shadows are reduced. Wrapping the original JPEG in a PDF leaves the snapshot unchanged.
Scan photos of a document stack
Free jobs are one image at a time. Pro stacks up to 15 pages in a single export — reorder them before you start so the file reads in order.

Scan photo questions
Is scan photo free?
Yes. The free path is 1 scan per day and the result includes a watermark. Pro removes the daily cap and the watermark.
Can I scan a photo on a laptop?
Yes. Move the picture to your computer, then upload it here. The phone is not needed once the file is on the laptop.
What happens to the photos I upload?
Any photos you upload and any scans we generate are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Please download your scanned files before then. We do not sell your documents or use them for ads.
