Using ToPDF
Step-by-step guides to every feature — from your first scan to multi-page documents, reordering, naming and sharing.
How to scan a document to PDF with your phone (no app needed)Turn any paper document into a clean, auto-cropped PDF using just your phone browser — free, private, and finished in under a minute.
How to scan multiple pages into one PDFCombine many paper pages into a single PDF on your phone: add pages one by one or pick all the photos at once, reorder, then download one file.
Reorder PDF pages by drag and drop (before you download)Scanned pages in the wrong order? Hold and drag a thumbnail to move it, or use the arrows — the PDF downloads exactly in the order you see.
Adjust the crop precisely with the corner magnifierWhen auto-crop needs a nudge: drag the four corners with a built-in magnifying loupe that shows exactly what is under your fingertip.
Rotate a scanned page (and why most arrive upright already)ToPDF auto-detects page orientation before showing the result. When you want a different rotation, one tap turns the page — per page, not per document.
Automatic file names: how ToPDF names your PDF from the documentToPDF reads the scanned page on-device and suggests a file name — the person’s name on an ID, a title on a letter. One tap re-suggests from any page.
Share a scanned PDF straight to WhatsApp, email or any appUse the Share button to send your scan through your phone’s native share sheet — WhatsApp, Gmail, Drive, Telegram — without hunting for the file first.
Where does the scanned PDF go? Saving on iPhone and AndroidFind your downloaded scan every time: exactly where PDFs land on iPhone (Files app) and Android (Downloads), plus how to keep them organised.
Scan a whole stack: pick many photos at oncePhotograph the pile first, then select all the photos together — ToPDF scans them one after another into a single ordered, multi-page PDF.
Paste a screenshot and get a PDF (Ctrl+V scanning)On a computer, copy any image — a screenshot, a photo from an email — and just paste it into ToPDF. It scans like any photo and becomes a clean PDF.
Drag & drop scanning on the desktopDrop image files anywhere onto ToPDF — one or many — and they scan into a PDF. The whole window is the drop target, and drops add pages to open documents.
Scan documents offline: ToPDF works without internetAfter the first visit, ToPDF runs fully offline — scanning, cropping, naming and PDF export with no connection. Ideal for travel and patchy networks.
Removed the wrong page? Undo brings it backDeleting a page in ToPDF shows an Undo toast for a few seconds — one tap restores the page exactly where it was, with its crop and rotation intact.
Auto-crop got it wrong? Here’s how to fix it fastWhat to do when the detected edges are off: confirm-or-nudge in the editor, understand why it happens, and set up shots so it rarely happens again.
