Frequently Asked Questions

Does the scanner apply automatic contrast enhancement?

Yes. DocScalar automatically crops document boundaries, straightens skewed angles, and applies adaptive binarization to produce crisp, legible documents from camera shots with clean white backgrounds.

Are my camera scans and captured paper documents stored securely?

Scanned documents are processed strictly in transient memory sandboxes over TLS 1.3 and purged immediately following download with zero persistent logging, tracking, or cloud backup retention.

What is the file size limit for digitizing paper documents into PDF?

DocScalar supports files up to 10 MB in instant guest mode with zero registration required, 15 MB for registered free accounts, and up to 1 GB for Pro tier users. All processing executes in isolated memory buffers with zero data retention.

Can I scan multipage booklets?

Yes. You can continuously snap photos of multiple pages; DocScalar automatically organizes and numbers them sequentially in a single PDF file with consistent page orientations.
