Why does my browser say camera access failed?

Browsers require HTTPS (or localhost) to access the camera. Make sure the URL starts with https:// or use http://localhost. Also check the camera permission in your browser settings.

Can I scan multiple pages into one PDF?

Yes — capture as many pages as you like. Each capture becomes one PDF page sized to the captured image.

Is the camera stream uploaded?

No. The video stream is processed locally; only still frames are captured to canvas and embedded in the PDF.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes — Safari on iOS supports getUserMedia with rear camera via facingMode: 'environment'.
