Scan any document to PDF directly from your phone without any third-party app

Often we need a separate CamScanner or any other app to scan any important documents, bills or assignments, which take up space in the phone and sometimes also show ads.

For Android (Google Drive/Files): Open your phone's built-in Google Drive app > Tap the '+' (Plus) icon at the bottom > Select 'Scan' and take a photo of the document. It will automatically convert to a clean PDF.

For iPhone (Notes App): iPhone users can open their phone's default Notes app > create a new note > tap on the camera icon and select 'Scan Documents' and easily create a PDF.
