Capture or choose the page image
Use the camera option when available or select an existing photograph. If the browser cannot access the camera, check its normal permission settings or use a saved image. Keep the full document inside the frame.
Check the page fit
Review the image orientation and crop before PDF export. A narrow receipt on a large page can leave excessive margins; inspect the exported PDF at a readable zoom instead of relying only on its thumbnail.
Decide whether a picture is enough
A PDF containing a photograph remains an image-based document. It is suitable for visual sharing, but searchable archives or copyable text require an OCR step. Verify any added text layer against the visible page.
