How to Scan Multiple Pages Into a Single PDF (Free)

By DocFila Team · May 1, 2026 · 5 min read

Scanning a 50-page contract or textbook chapter is a chore unless your scanner app has true batch mode. DocFila supports auto-capture (snap as fast as you can flip pages), OCR for the whole batch, and one-PDF output.

Batch scan in DocFila

  1. Open DocFila → Scan → Batch.
  2. Position the first page. Auto-capture fires when the page is flat and in focus.
  3. Flip to the next page — repeat. The counter shows pages scanned.
  4. Tap Done. All pages are stitched into a single PDF.
  5. Reorder, delete bad pages, or insert missing ones from the review screen.

Auto-capture vs manual

Auto-capture is fastest for clean pages on a contrasting surface. Switch to manual for tricky lighting, glossy magazine pages, or unusual page sizes.

Run OCR across all pages at once

DocFila runs OCR on the pages after you scan, so the result is a searchable PDF: every word becomes findable in Spotlight, Drive, or Notion. On-device OCR covers Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Devanagari text.

Compress and share

A 50-page colour scan can be very large. Use compression to reduce it before you email it. Share via Mail, Drive, WhatsApp, or DocTransfer (a download link, up to 5 GB without an account).
