Folio
Scan and OCR / Step-by-step guide

Scan with your phone and continue wherever you want

Prepare a PDF on your phone and, if you wish, send it to your computer.

At a glance

From my iPhone opens Folio’s web scanner. You can use the camera, photos or files; you do not need to install the native app. Connecting to a computer is optional.

Before you start

Open Folio in your phone’s browser. Allow camera access only if you will capture pages.

01

Capture or select

Open From my iPhone and choose Scan document, photos or a file. You can prepare multiple pages.

02

Review before creating the PDF

Check corners, order, orientation and appearance. Adjust the crop if detection does not match the sheet. Original lets you return to an appearance without the Scanned finish.

03

Save or continue on your computer

Download the PDF on your phone. To send it to a computer, open From my iPhone there and use the QR or connection code. Review authorization requests and wait for receipt confirmation before closing.

If something does not go as expected

If the camera does not open, review its browser permission or select existing photos. If the connection expired, generate another and reconnect the devices.

Before you finish

The PDF is complete and the computer confirmed receipt, if you sent it.

NOW, YOUR DOCUMENT

Now you know where to start.
