Scan a document photo that arrived by email

Half of business email is document photos pretending to be documents. When one lands in your inbox — a signed form snapped in an office corridor — here's the fastest path to a version worth forwarding.

Desktop inbox → PDF

1. Download the attached image (or right-click → copy image in most webmail).
2. Drop it onto ToPDF — or paste with Ctrl+V.
3. Corners confirmed if needed, page straightened and cleaned.
4. Download the PDF and reply with it attached — same content, now legible and printable.

Multiple attachments, one document

Five photos in one mail are almost always five pages of one thing. Save all, select all in ToPDF, and reorder in the strip if the sender photographed them out of sequence. One PDF back beats five images forwarded.

Why bother re-scanning at all?

Because the recipient after you might be a system, not a person: application portals, OCR pipelines, archives. A straightened, high-contrast, single-file PDF passes automated intake that raw photos regularly fail.

Frequently asked questions

The email contains a PDF of photos already. Rescan?

If the pages inside are skewed photos, extract/export them as images and rescan when quality matters. If it’s already clean, don’t touch it.

Is pasting from webmail safe for confidential documents?

The paste goes straight into your browser’s local scanner — no third-party upload happens. Treat the final PDF with the same care as the original mail.
