FAQs for Scan to PDF Tool
How do I scan a document to PDF for free online?
You can scan documents to PDF for free using getpdf2go.com’s Scan to PDF Tool without creating an account. Simply access the tool through your browser, use your device’s camera or scanner to capture the document, and the platform automatically converts it to a PDF file that you can download immediately.
Can I scan multiple pages into one PDF file?
Yes, the Scan to PDF Tool allows you to scan multiple pages and combine them into a single PDF document. You can scan each page sequentially, and the tool will merge them automatically, making it perfect for creating multi-page documents like contracts, reports, or book chapters.
Do I need to install software to scan documents to PDF?
No installation is required. The Scan to PDF Tool is a completely web-based solution that works directly in your browser. This means you can scan documents to PDF from any device with internet access—whether it’s a computer, tablet, or smartphone—without downloading or installing any software.
Is it safe to scan sensitive documents using an online PDF tool?
The platform prioritizes user privacy and security. Since no sign-in is required, your personal information isn’t stored, and uploaded files are processed securely. However, for highly sensitive documents, always review the platform’s privacy policy and consider using encryption for additional security.
What file formats can I convert to PDF after scanning?
While the Scan to PDF Tool primarily creates PDF files from scanned images, getpdf2go.com offers various conversion tools that support multiple formats including JPG, PNG, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and more. You can scan to create images first, then convert them to PDF or other formats as needed.
Can I scan to PDF using my phone camera?
Absolutely. The Scan to PDF Tool is mobile-friendly and works with your smartphone’s camera. Simply access the website from your mobile browser, grant camera permissions, and you can instantly scan documents, receipts, business cards, or any paper document directly to PDF format.
How do I improve the quality of my scanned PDF documents?
To achieve the best scan quality, ensure good lighting when capturing your document, hold your device steady, and position the camera directly above the paper to avoid distortion. Many online scan tools also offer automatic image enhancement features that adjust brightness, contrast, and crop edges for cleaner results.
Is there a file size limit for scanning documents to PDF?
Most online PDF tools have file size limitations, though these vary by platform. For specific limits on the Scan to PDF Tool, check the tool’s interface or help section. If you’re working with very large documents, you may need to scan them in sections or use compression features after creating the PDF.
Can I edit my scanned PDF after conversion?
While scanned PDFs are typically image-based and not directly editable as text, getpdf2go.com offers additional PDF editing tools that may allow you to add annotations, merge pages, or make other modifications. For text editing, you might need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality to convert scanned images to editable text.
What's the difference between scanning to PDF and converting images to PDF?
Scanning to PDF captures a physical document using a camera or scanner and directly creates a PDF file. Converting images to PDF takes existing digital image files (like photos you’ve already taken) and transforms them into PDF format. The Scan to PDF Tool handles the scanning process, while separate conversion tools manage existing digital files.
