PDF Scanner FAQs
Does PDF Scanner automatically detect edges or read text?
No. This version places your photo on an A4 PDF page. It does not include automatic edge detection, perspective correction or OCR.
Are my documents uploaded?
The tools listed here process documents in your browser. Selecting a file does not upload its contents to Filestation. Download your output before closing the page; there is no cloud document library.
Are my PDFs encrypted?
The website uses HTTPS to encrypt the connection. Local processing does not automatically password-encrypt your input or downloaded PDF. No website can guarantee 100% security; use a trusted device and keep your original files.
How do I save a PDF on an iPhone?
After creating the result, use Save / Share and choose Save to Files. If a download opens a preview, use the browser’s Share control to save a copy.
