What this does

Whiteboard photos are usually grey, with glare and shadows. The Whiteboard look turns the board white and makes the marker colours stronger, so notes are easy to read and print.

Tips

  • Stand straight in front of the board, not at an angle.
  • Fill the screen with the board; the corners can be adjusted after.

How to use it

  1. Choose what you are scanning and hold the phone over the page: it captures by itself
  2. Fix corners, retake or reorder pages, pick a look
  3. Choose the file size and save one clean PDF

Questions people ask

Does it work for blackboards?

It is made for light boards. For blackboards, use Original colour.

How do I get the best scan?

Put the paper on a darker table, use good light, avoid shadows and hold the phone straight above the page.

Can I make the text searchable?

Yes. After scanning, tap OCR to turn the pictures into real text.

Is Scan to PDF really free?

Yes. Every PDFtoOne tool is free with no login, no daily limit and no watermark. The site is supported by ads.

Is there a file size limit?

We set no limit. Files are processed by your own device, so the only limit is its memory. Computers handle very large files; phones handle most everyday files easily.
