Common questions

Can I scan a document with my mobile camera?

Photograph each page in good light, then combine the photos into a PDF with the tool above.

No. Photos of pages are images. Layers does not run text recognition on scans.

Why is my scanned PDF so big?

Camera photos are large. Compress the finished PDF and it usually drops dramatically.
