Falcon Pdf

Scan · In your browser

A camera that doesn’t send.

Falcon Scan is a document scanner that uses your phone camera to capture pages and combine them into a PDF. The camera feed is processed inside the browser tab; no frames are uploaded.

The video stream is processed in this tab. Each captured page becomes part of a PDF on your computer. By design.

Why this tool exists

A scanner app is the most direct version of asking someone to give a stranger their documents. The driving licence, the cheque, the medical certificate, the rental agreement. Pointed at a camera, the page becomes a frame, and the frame becomes a network packet, and the packet becomes a server log.

When the scanner runs in your browser, the frame does not become a packet. The camera opens here. Each capture is held in memory, run through edge-detection on your computer, and written to a PDF in this tab. The driving licence stays on the driving licence’s owner’s phone.

Open the camera to start scanning

Your browser will ask for camera permission. The video stream stays inside this tab.

FAQ

Common questions

Are the camera frames uploaded when I scan a document?

No. The camera feed is processed inside this browser tab and no frames are uploaded. Scanning a passport, a contract, or a bank letter never sends a single image off your device.

What do I need to scan?

Your phone camera. Capture each page in turn and the tool combines them into a single PDF, built on your device as you go.

Can I capture several pages into one PDF?

Yes. Shoot the pages one after another and they are assembled into one document in the order you take them.

Will the scanned PDF be searchable?

Not on its own — a scan is a set of page images. To make the text selectable and searchable, run the resulting PDF through the OCR tool, which adds a text layer on your device.

No trackers

Open the Network tab during use. Only first-party JS appears in the request log.

Metadata stripped

Authors, edit history, EXIF, and embedded thumbnails are removed alongside the visible content.
