Scan · nothing uploaded
Photograph paper with your phone and get a PDF. No app to install, no account, and the photographs never leave your phone — which is the entire point when the paper is a bank statement.
Your browser will ask permission first. On a laptop this works too, but a phone held over the page gives far better results.

Scanned entirely on your own device — the photographs were never uploaded. Kagaz is free and open source, made by Amit Jena in India.
Scanner apps are the most invasive software on most people's phones. They ask for the camera, the photo library and the network, and the documents people put through them are exactly the ones that should not travel: bank statements, ID cards, medical letters, property papers.
This does the same job with a web page. The camera feed is handled by your browser, the photographs stay in the tab, and the PDF is assembled on your device. Close the tab and every trace is gone.
No. There is no server behind this page. Nothing is written to your camera roll either, unless you download the finished PDF.
Browsers only allow camera access on a secure (https) connection and only after
you grant permission. If you dismissed the prompt, reload and allow it. On iPhone, Safari
handles this more reliably than other browsers.
Not yet — this is the honest gap against a dedicated scanner app. It is on the roadmap and is a genuinely interesting thing to build if you fancy it.
Phone cameras produce enormous photos. Run the result through Compress PDF.
