Why choose SnapDF?
How SnapDF differs from traditional scanner apps and standard online PDF converters.
| SnapDF | Traditional mobile apps | Online cloud converters | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy and storage | Encrypted P2P, stored nowhere | Cloud or local | Uploaded to a server |
| App installation | Not needed (web-based) | Required | Not needed |
| Account or sign-up | No account needed | Often required | Sometimes required |
| Watermark on PDF | No watermark | In free versions | Some do |
| Edit directly on PC | Yes, live via QR pairing | No (email or cloud first) | Manual upload |
| Ads in the scanner | Ad-free | Pop-ups and banners | Plenty of ads |
No data harvesting
Many free scanner apps ask for access to your contacts, location or files. SnapDF only uses your phone's camera to send images over WebRTC to your own computer.
Straight onto a big screen
Cropping and filtering on a small phone screen is fiddly. With SnapDF you take the photo on your phone and do the editing on your PC monitor.
