# Document scanner in your browser — no upload

> Scan documents with your camera, auto-crop and de-warp the page, clean it up, and export a searchable PDF — everything runs on your device, nothing is uploaded.

Scan Desk turns your camera into a private document scanner. Capture or import pages, flatten the perspective, apply scan filters, and export a searchable, compressed PDF — all in your browser.

## Tools in this workspace

- [Camera scan](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/camera): Turn your camera into a document scanner — live edge detection, multi-page capture, and a private review strip. Frames never leave this device.
- [Import photos](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/import): Pick photos from your gallery or files and drop them straight into a multi-page scan session — processed entirely in your browser.
- [Crop & de-warp](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/auto-crop): Detect page corners and flatten the perspective so a photographed document looks like a flatbed scan. Adjust the corners by hand any time.
- [Deskew](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/deskew): Auto-detect the skew angle of a scan and straighten every page without clipping content — pure canvas, runs on your device.
- [Scan filters](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/filters): Apply flatbed-quality scan filters — grayscale, high-contrast black & white, or a color boost — plus brightness and contrast, all in your browser.
- [Build PDF](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/to-pdf): Assemble your captured pages into a single PDF with your choice of page size and margins — built locally with pdf-lib, never uploaded.
- [Searchable OCR](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/ocr): Run on-device OCR over your scanned pages and export a PDF with an invisible, selectable text layer. The Tesseract engine runs in your tab.
- [Compress scan](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/compress): Re-encode scanned pages to smaller JPEGs and control the quality, so an email-friendly PDF stays readable. All the work happens on your device.
- [Scrub & redact](https://www.safepaper.app/scan/scrub): Strip camera EXIF/GPS metadata and paint over sensitive regions before you share a scan. Redactions are burned into the image, locally.

Each tool also has a Markdown mirror at its URL plus `.md` (for example https://www.safepaper.app/scan/camera.md).
