Scan to PDF: frequently asked questions

No: they stay in the browser, on your device, and are not uploaded to Plicum servers. That is why this tool exists instead of pointing you at a scanning app.

No: it uses the camera through the browser. You can, however, install Plicum as an app from the browser itself if you use it often.

Not straight away: it is made of images. Running OCR recognises the text and makes the document searchable.
