Why Drop
Auto edge detection & perspective fix
The live viewfinder locks onto the page, crops the background and straightens the document — like a real scanner.
Multi-page PDFs
Scan page after page and export one clean PDF — or JPGs if you prefer. Black & white filter makes text crisp.
Nothing to install, no account
Works in the browser on every phone and computer. Scan the QR and you're connected.
Private by design
Encrypted in transit and at rest, and everything self-deletes after 24 hours — or instantly with Delete Now.
FAQ
Do my scans get uploaded somewhere permanently?
No. Scans transfer encrypted and self-delete after 24 hours like everything in Drop. You can also save the PDF directly to your phone.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No. Drop runs in the browser on both devices. Open the site on your computer, scan the QR with your phone camera, and you're transferring. Apps exist too, but they're optional.
Is it really free?
Yes — transfers up to 3 GB per file are free, with no signup. Files self-delete after 24 hours, which is also why it stays private.
