🔐 Client‑Side Scanning: How It Works & Why It’s Secure
Traditional scanning apps require uploading your images to a remote server, exposing sensitive documents to potential breaches. Our tool performs all operations entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib and native browser APIs. The camera feed stays local, images are never uploaded, and the PDF is generated on your device — ensuring complete privacy.
You can capture photos directly from your webcam (with your permission) or upload existing images. Each image becomes a page in the final PDF. We preserve image quality while offering size optimization. Because everything runs client‑side, you get instant results with zero latency. This approach is fully compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and corporate security policies, giving you peace of mind when scanning sensitive documents.
📘 How to Scan to PDF in 5 Simple Steps
- Add images – Drag & drop images, click “Browse files”, or use the camera to capture photos.

❓ Advanced Technical FAQ
📌 Is the scanning really 100% offline?
Yes. After the page loads, all processing happens inside your browser. No data is ever sent to any server. You can even use it without an internet connection after initial loading.
⚙️ What image formats are supported?
We support JPG, JPEG, and PNG. Images are embedded as JPEG in the PDF for optimal compatibility and file size.
🛡️ How does client‑side scanning protect my data?
Your images never leave your device, so there’s zero risk of interception, server logs, or third‑party access. Perfect for confidential documents.
📏 What page sizes are available?
You can choose “Fit to image” (each page matches its image dimensions), A4 (210x297mm), or Letter (8.5x11in).
🔄 Can I rearrange scanned pages?
Currently pages are added in capture/upload order. For reordering, you can remove and re‑add images in the desired sequence.
🧩 Does camera capture work on mobile?
Yes, on modern smartphones with a supported browser, the camera will use the rear‑facing camera by default (depending on device settings).
🌐 What browsers are compatible?
Works on all modern browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari. Camera requires HTTPS (or localhost) and user permission.
📈 Why does the progress bar sometimes pause?
Generating the PDF involves embedding each image. The progress bar updates after each page is processed.
