Technical Details

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the scanned PDF be searchable?
The scan creates image-based pages. For searchable text, run the PDF through OneClickPDF's OCR tool, which adds an invisible text layer over the images.
What image formats can I use?
JPEG, PNG, and HEIC (iPhone photos). The tool handles standard phone camera output from both iOS and Android.
Can I scan multiple pages into one PDF?
Yes. Capture as many pages as you need and they're combined into a single multi-page PDF. Reorder pages by dragging before downloading.
Do I need to install an app?
No. OneClickPDF works in your mobile browser — no app installation required. You can also add it to your home screen as a PWA for quick access.

Your phone is the only scanner you need. Capture paper documents, receipts, notes, and forms — then download as a clean multi-page PDF. No app to install, no account to create, and your photos stay on your device.
