Frequently asked questions
What kind of photo works well for a scanned document?
Use a sharp, evenly lit photo taken straight on, with all page edges visible. Crop the surrounding background before selecting it so the document fills more of the output page.
Can I place a photo on A4 or another paper size?
Yes. Choose the paper size and margins, then use the preview to check how your image sits on the page before generating the PDF.
Can I combine several photos into one PDF on this page?
This page processes one image at a time. For a multi-page scan, combine the photos into a PDF first, then open that PDF here and apply the scan effect.
