The problem

An apartment application, a job offer, a bank account, a school enrollment — every important form online now asks you to upload a photo of your driver's license or passport. The form rejects phone photos as too large or wrong format. You don't want to install yet another scanner app to handle this one-time task, and you really don't want a random scanner app keeping a copy of your ID on their servers.

The fix

PDFThis turns the photo into a clean, properly-cropped, scanner-style PDF that any upload form will accept. More importantly: your ID never gets stored anywhere. Each photo is processed in memory and discarded the moment the PDF is sent back to your browser. No file is written to disk, no logging, no copy. The architecture itself is the privacy guarantee.

What you get

  • Snap a photo of the ID, upload, get back a cleanly-cropped PDF in about 5 seconds.
  • Page detection finds the edges of the card — the wood-grain table or messy desk doesn't end up in the output.
  • Your ID is processed in memory and never written to disk. We literally couldn't keep a copy if we wanted to.
  • Both sides? Upload both photos, get two PDFs, combine with any free PDF merger if the form wants one file.
