How to use Document Scanner

1
Take photos or choose page images

Take a photo with your camera or choose existing images from your gallery.

2
Rotate and enhance each page

The tool detects page edges and lets you crop and straighten each shot.

3
Enable OCR and export the scanned PDF

Combine the cleaned-up pages into a single multi-page PDF and download it.

When this tool is useful

OCR is useful for scanned forms, receipts, screenshots, photographed notes and archival documents that contain visible text but no selectable text layer.

Privacy and local processing

Toolnova is designed so this feature can run in the browser. This reduces the need to send documents to a Toolnova server and makes the workflow practical on phones, tablets and desktop browsers. Avoid using any online utility with documents you are not authorized to process.

Important limitation: Searchable text is OCR-derived and should be reviewed for recognition errors.

Frequently asked questions

Does Document Scanner upload my input to Toolnova?

The tool is designed to process the selected input in your browser. Third-party JavaScript libraries may be downloaded to your device so the feature can run, but Toolnova does not intentionally upload the selected document to a Toolnova server.

Is Document Scanner free?

Yes. This Toolnova feature can be used without creating an account or starting a subscription.

What should I check after using it?

Compare the result against your original file or expected value, especially for anything you'll rely on for something important — like a document you're about to send or sign.
