How to scan id to pdf
- Start the camera or choose files. Capture live, or use existing images.
- Capture front and back. Scan each side of the document separately.
- Review. Check both captures before creating the PDF.
- Create & download. Both sides are combined into a single PDF.
Why do this locally instead of online?
An ID card is about as sensitive as a document gets. This tool handles the camera stream and captured images entirely within your browser's own code — never sent to any server — and the PDF is assembled the same way, directly in your browser's memory.
Frequently asked questions
Does using the camera upload the video anywhere?
No. The camera stream stays local to this page and is never transmitted.
Can I use this without a camera?
Yes — choose existing photo files instead.
Can I capture both sides of an ID?
Yes — front and back are captured separately and combined into one PDF.
What if my browser blocks camera access?
Check your browser's site permissions for camera access, or use the file-upload option instead.
