Image to PDF & Document Filters

NVIN Scanner makes it simple to convert existing photo albums, gallery screenshots, and receipts into standardized, shareable PDF documents.

Importing from Device Gallery

If you already took photos using your phone's default camera or downloaded images from WhatsApp, you can batch import them directly:

  1. Open NVIN Scanner and tap the Import Gallery button on the home screen.
  2. Select one or multiple images in the Android media picker.
  3. In the thumbnail reorder screen, drag and drop cards to adjust the sequence of pages.
  4. Tap any individual page to fine-tune edge crops or rotate orientation.
  5. Choose your preferred document filter preset and tap Compile PDF.

PresetGrayscale (Monochrome Gradient)

Medium (approx. 500KB - 1.2MB for 10 pages)
