About Camera & Scan
Most in-browser “scanners” are an upload form with extra steps. The webcam page asks the browser for the camera, draws one frame when you click, and lets you download it. The mic test and webcam test are the other two pages here: a live level meter for the microphone, and a preview with resolution and frame rate for the camera. Each asks for the device it needs and nothing else.
Document scan is the same capture with a contrast-style boost so a paper on the desk is more readable. It isn't a trapezoid-correcting, OCR-grade scanner. If the page is skewed, square it with your hands and shoot again, or crop afterwards.
The still you download is a picture on your disk. The mic and webcam tests feed a meter and a preview, and there is no recording or upload code behind them. If you're photographing an ID, that's between you and whoever you send the download to, not between you and a scanning SaaS.
Tools in this category
Microphone test
Mic test asks for microphone access and shows a live input level so you can confirm the right device is picking you up. Audio is analysed in the tab and never recorded.
Webcam test
Webcam test previews your camera and reports the resolution and frame rate the browser gets. The video is not recorded or uploaded.
Common questions
Does the webcam tool record or upload video?
No. It captures a still when you click. The page isn't a screen recorder and it isn't a cloud inbox. If the browser permission prompt mentions camera, that's because the page needs the camera, locally.
Is there a way to test my microphone here?
Yes, the mic test. It asks for microphone access, lets you pick an input, and draws a live level so you can see the right device is picking you up. The stream feeds the meter and nothing else; it isn't recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. The webcam capture page doesn't use the microphone at all.
Can I use this as a document scanner?
For a readable photo of a page, yes, especially with the contrast boost. For bank-grade crop, deskew, and OCR, use a dedicated scanner app. There's no edge detection or perspective correction, and the stream is often lower resolution than your phone's own camera app. This is the “I need a picture of this paper without emailing it to a website” tool.
Are the mic and webcam tests recorded?
No. The streams feed a level meter and a preview. There is no recording or upload code behind them, and the devices are released when you leave the page.
Why these tools don't upload your files
There is no server to upload to. Each page is a static file, and the work happens in your browser. Your file is read from disk into memory, processed, and handed back as a download. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the network and it keeps working. The longer explanation
