Scan documents

Photograph pages with your phone – FaLe crops them, straightens them and makes a PDF.

How can I check that nothing is uploaded?

Your files are processed in this browser tab. This page has no function that sends files to a server, and its security rules (Content Security Policy) forbid connections to other servers.

Check it yourself: load this page, then switch on flight mode or disconnect Wi-Fi and run the tool. It still works – because everything happens on your device.

Good to know

How it works – step by step

  1. Photograph the pages

    Tap “Camera” and take the first page, then add more with “+”. Photos from your gallery work too.

  2. Check and adjust

    The page edges are detected automatically. If they’re off, drag the corners into place with the magnifier. Pick a filter, rotate pages and change the order.

  3. Create the PDF

    Tap “Create PDF” and share or save it – or get every page as a JPG.

Why FaLe?

  • Straightened

    Pages photographed at an angle are corrected in perspective, as if you had put them on a flatbed scanner.

  • Corners with a magnifier

    Big handles for your finger and a magnifier that shows exactly where the corner sits – even on small screens.

  • Readable filters

    Enhanced colour, greyscale or black & white make the paper white and the text crisp. Shadows can be removed as well.

  • No app, no upload

    Everything runs in the browser on your phone. Contracts, IDs and receipts never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app?

No. Open the page in your phone’s browser and tap “Camera”. After the first visit the tool even works offline.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Photos and PDF are created only in your browser.

What if the edges aren’t detected?

Then the corners sit on the photo’s corners and you drag them onto the page corners. The magnifier helps. Detection works best with light paper on a dark surface.

Which filter should I use?

“Enhanced colour” for letters with logos and stamps, “Greyscale” for normal text, “Black & white” for plain text pages and small files. “Original” keeps the colours as they are.

Is the PDF searchable?

The PDF contains the pages as images; no text recognition is done here. For e-mail, offices and archives that’s usually all you need.

How do I make the PDF smaller?

Choose “Small” under “File size” or the black & white filter. Afterwards you can go further with “Continue with: Compress PDF”.
