PDF Scanner online — free and private
PDF Scanner turns any device with a camera into a document scanner. Point your phone or webcam at a receipt, contract, whiteboard or ID card, capture each page, and PDF10x assembles them into a clean multi-page PDF. You can also add existing photos one by one, so a mix of fresh captures and gallery shots ends up in a single document. Every page can be cropped to just the paper, rotated the right way up and dragged into order before you save.
Scanner apps usually want an install, an account and a subscription — and many quietly upload your captures to their servers. This scanner runs entirely in your browser: the camera stream, your photos and the finished PDF never leave your device. When the document is ready you can download it or share it straight to email, chat or any app your device offers.
Why use PDF10x to pdf scanner?
Crop, rotate, reorder
Trim each capture down to just the document, fix sideways pages with one tap and arrange pages in any order before creating the PDF.
Scan without being scanned
Everything happens in your browser — no app install, no account, and your captures are never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Do my scans get uploaded to a server?
No. The camera stream, your photos and the finished PDF are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, stored or shared — close the tab and it's gone.
Why does the browser ask for camera permission?
The live capture feature uses your device camera through the browser's standard camera API, which always asks for your permission first. The video never leaves your device, and you can revoke access at any time. If you prefer, skip the camera entirely and add photos from your gallery instead.
Can I scan a multi-page document?
Yes. Keep capturing — each shot becomes the next page. You can mix camera captures with photos from your gallery, reorder pages by moving them left or right, and remove any page before creating the PDF.
How do I get the cleanest scan?
Lay the document flat in good, even light and fill the frame with the page. After capturing, use the crop tool to trim away the background so the PDF shows just the paper.
Can I share the scanned PDF directly to another app?
On devices that support it (most phones and tablets), a Share button appears next to Download, letting you send the PDF straight to email, chat or cloud apps. Elsewhere you can download the file as usual.
