No scanner? Your phone is one. Open this page on your phone, tap the upload card to take photos of each page (or pick photos you already took), and the tool assembles them into a PDF sized to A4 or Letter. The Document enhancement boosts contrast and whitens the paper so the result looks scanned rather than photographed.
Tick OCR to make the PDF searchable. All processing is on the device; the photos are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Does it straighten skewed photos?
Not automatically yet — frame the page squarely and crop afterwards with Crop PDF if needed.
Can I use HEIC photos?
Safari converts them when you pick them; on other systems, save as JPG first.
Is my scan uploaded for OCR?
No. The recognition engine runs inside your browser tab. Only the language data file is downloaded, and it is cached for next time.
