No installation necessary
You do not need to install any software. This app runs on our servers in the cloud and your system is not changed and does not require any special requirements.

What others are saying
Beautiful PDF scanner for the browser without having to own a scanner. It is easy to use and the image post-processing gives good results.
With this tool I could read in my signed document and then send it by email. So I didn't have to buy a scanner or send the document by post.
