Frequently asked questions

Can I turn a photo of a page into an editable Word document?

Yes. Choose “Word document”. The words are read from the photos and placed in a .docx you can edit. Clear, straight, well-lit photos give the best result. Handwriting is not read well.

What is the difference between a PDF and a searchable PDF?

A normal scanned PDF is only pictures. A searchable PDF looks the same but has hidden text on top, so you can search and copy words.

How do I get a clean, white background?

Choose “Magic colour” or “Black & white”. They remove shadows and lighten the paper while keeping the writing sharp.

Does the camera work on my phone and computer?

Yes, in a modern browser. Allow camera access when asked. If the camera is blocked, use “Upload photos” or “Phone camera app”.

How many pages can I scan?

Up to 60 pages in one go. Very large batches may be slow on older phones.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Cropping, filters and text reading all happen in your browser.

Is Scan to PDF really free to use?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Is my file safe?

Yes. This tool works entirely inside your browser, so your file is never uploaded to our servers. It is cleared from memory when you close or refresh the page.

Do I need to install any software?

No. EduJobs Toolkit works in any modern browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to download or install.
