Drag & drop scanning on the desktop

On a computer the fastest way into ToPDF isn't the file picker — it's dropping files straight from your folder onto the page. The entire window accepts drops, so there's no small target to hit.

How it works

1. Open ToPDF in one window and your folder of photos in another.
2. Select one or more images (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP) and drag them anywhere onto the ToPDF window.
3. They scan in sequence — auto-crop, cleanup, orientation — exactly like picked photos.

Dropping while a document is already open appends the images as new pages, which makes building a big PDF from a folder trivial: drop, wait, drop the next batch.

Small details that matter

• A drop that accidentally misses nothing — the page never navigates away to the raw image, a classic browser annoyance ToPDF guards against.
• Non-image files in a selection are ignored gracefully with a note, and the images still scan.
• Everything stays local: dropping a file into a browser page does not upload it anywhere by itself, and ToPDF has no server to receive it anyway.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drop a PDF to add its pages?

No — ToPDF scans photos and images. Its output is PDF; its input is pictures of paper (or screenshots).

Does drag & drop work on phones?

Phones do not really have desktop-style drag & drop between apps and browser pages. Use the photo picker there — it multi-selects too.
