Tips for Better Phone Scans
- Good light, no shadows: scan near a window or under a bright lamp and hold the phone straight above the page.
- Fill the frame: get close so the page fills most of the photo — the edges of the table don't matter much on a white page.
- Use Black & white for text documents: it gives the sharpest text and the smallest PDF.
- Need to sign or fill it in? Open the PDF in our Sign PDF or PDF Editor tools.
- Already have scans as files? Use JPG to PDF or TIFF to PDF.
