A document scanner with no watermark

Scan documents to PDF with no watermark, no app to install and no account. Use your phone camera or photos, up to 30 pages. Free, and nothing is uploaded.

Before you start

Some free scanner apps put their name or logo on every page, or ask you to pay or sign up to remove it. This scanner adds nothing to your pages: no watermark, no logo, no extra page, and not even its own name in the PDF's details. There is no app to install and no account.

Open this page on your phone and use the camera, or choose photos you already took. Each page is found, straightened and cleaned up. Check the pages, choose Color or Black & white, and press Download PDF. Up to 30 pages go into one PDF, and nothing is uploaded.

Tips

Check a PDF for a watermark before you send it: look at every page at full size, especially the corners and the bottom edge, and at the last page, where some apps add a page of their own.

To see which app made a PDF, open it in a PDF reader and look at File, then Properties (or Document Properties). For a SafeResize scan, the boxes for the app and the producer are empty.

Phones have scanners built in too: on an iPhone or iPad, in the Notes app (tap the attachment button, then Scan Documents) or the Files app; on Android, in the Google Drive app (tap Camera), which saves the scan to your Drive.

What a SafeResize scan has, and does not have

So you know exactly what you send:

On every page: only your scan. No watermark, logo, stamp, footer or "scanned with" line.

In the file: one picture for each page, and no extra page at the end. The document details name no app.

Size: no limit unless you choose one under More options (200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB). Without one, pages are saved at up to 250 DPI.

Text: part of the picture, so it cannot be selected or searched.

Cost: free, with no account, no trial and nothing to buy.

Questions and answers

Is there a scanner without a watermark that needs no app?

Yes, this one: it runs in your phone's browser, adds no watermark and needs no account. Phones also have scanners built in, in the Notes or Files app on an iPhone and the Google Drive app on Android.

Can it read the text, like OCR?

No. Each page in the PDF is a picture, so the text cannot be selected, searched or copied. There is no text recognition.

How many pages can I scan for free?

Up to 30 pages in one PDF, as many times as you like. There is no daily limit, no trial and no sign-up.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The pages are found, straightened and saved on your own device. The camera view is not recorded or sent anywhere.
