Your phone is now a scanner: This is how we use Google Drive to send clean PDFs in seconds.
16Today, the same old thing happened to us: we were asked to "scan and send as PDF," and we were out and about. Instead of taking a crappy photo, we opened Google Drive and turned our phone into a scanner in seconds. In the video, we walked you through how to scan documents with Android without installing anything fancy, clean up the image, add multiple pages, save it as a PDF, and share it from Drive itself.
We started by opening Drive, tapping "+" → Scan, framed the page in a contrasting surface, and shot. We adjusted the automatic cropping, chose the filter (black and white for contracts/ID, color for stamps or graphics), and repeated the process for multi-page if the document has multiple pages. Finally, we rename it, save it as a PDF in our folder, and share it via email, WhatsApp, or a link.
We also share some tricks that make a difference: natural light or a side lamp to avoid shadows, holding your phone parallel to the paper to avoid distortion, using a dark background if the document is light, and checking the cropping before saving. Need editable text? Upload the image and use "Open with → Google Docs" for OCR (text recognition) and copy/paste. If the file is large, reduce the resolution or compress it before sending it.
With this technique, in 90–95% of cases we can create signatures, invoices, receipts, or notes with a clean and professional result directly from your phone.
