EditPDFKit's Document Scanner turns your phone or laptop camera into a secure, offline scanning app. Simply point your camera at a receipt, contract, or notebook. The tool allows you to drag the four corners to fix the perspective (deskewing), apply black-and-white or grayscale filters for clarity, and bundle multiple scans into a single PDF. Everything is processed directly on your device, ensuring sensitive documents are never uploaded to the internet.
