Mobile upload

DocExtract gives you a QR code that links to your account's upload page. Scan the code with your phone and you can upload documents from anywhere.

How to get your QR code

Go to the upload page and click the "Mobile" tab. You'll see a QR code. Scan it with your phone's camera app.

Take a photo or choose a file

Once you're on the mobile upload page, you can take a photo of a document with your camera or pick a file from your phone. The document gets uploaded to your account right away.

Tips for good photos

Hold your phone steady and make sure the whole document is in the frame. Good lighting helps. Avoid shadows and glare. The clearer the photo, the better the extraction results.
