Prepare the page
Use a flat surface with even light and a background that contrasts with the paper. Move away from glare and avoid covering text with your hand. For a receipt, smooth out folds where possible. Keep the document still and position the phone so that every corner is visible.
Capture and adjust
The app’s automatic scanning detects page edges, and you can tweak the selection. Check that the crop keeps the whole document, including dates, reference numbers and signatures. Use filters or annotations only when they help readability. Review small text at a larger size before keeping the scan.
Save a useful file
Save as PDF when you want a document that is easy to share, or use an image export when the recipient needs a picture. Give the file a descriptive name, such as 2026-10-receipt-office.pdf. Open the saved file to check its pages before sending it. Choose a folder that makes it easy to find again.
