How SnapDF works

Everything you need to make sharp PDFs with your phone in no time.

  1. 1

    Connect with the QR code

    SnapDF doesn't need an app. Start by opening the scanner on your computer:

    • On your PC or laptop, go to web.snapdf.net.
    • A unique QR code and a secure pairing link appear automatically.
    • Scan the QR code with your smartphone camera, or type the link into your mobile browser.
    • Once connected, the status indicator on your PC turns green: “Phone connected!”
  2. 2

    Take photos with your phone

    After pairing, your phone screen turns into a camera viewer:

    • Point the camera at the document, such as a contract, letter, ID card or receipt.
    • Tap the large white shutter button. A screen flash and a message confirm the photo was sent.
    • The photo appears on your computer almost instantly. You can keep photographing more pages.

    Tip: use plenty of light and place the document on a contrasting surface.

  3. 3

    Edit, crop and apply filters

    As soon as a photo arrives, the document editor opens automatically:

    • Adjust the corners: drag the four corner points to the edges of your document to straighten skewed photos (perspective correction).
    • Pick a document type: A4 document, ID card or pass, narrow receipt, or free ratio.
    • Filters and colour: adjust brightness, contrast and saturation, or choose a black-and-white or Doc-Boost preset for crisp text.
    • Click Save & crop to apply your changes.
  4. 4

    Reorder pages and download the PDF

    All pages scanned? Then create the final document:

    • Drag pages: drag the thumbnails to a new position to change the order.
    • Export options: choose whether pages fit neatly on A4 or keep their own size (handy for unusual formats).
    • Quality: pick the DPI, for example 150 DPI for a balanced file or 300 DPI for print quality.
    • Click Download PDF. The file is saved directly to your PC.
