If you own a Chromebook, you might have wondered how you can use your built-in camera to scan documents. Fortunately, it’s possible to do so with a few simple steps. This article provides you with a step-by-step guide to using your Chromebook camera to scan documents.

Step 1: Open the Files app

The first step in scanning a document with your Chromebook camera is to open the Files app. You can do this by clicking on the ‘Launcher button’ at the bottom left corner of your screen.

Step 2: Create a new folder

Once you have opened the Files app, you will see a ‘My Files’ folder on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on this folder, and then select the ‘New Folder’ button, which is located at the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Step 3: Name your folder

After clicking the ‘New Folder’ button, a dialog box will appear that allows you to name your folder. Give your folder a descriptive name that will help you to identify it later. For example, if you are scanning a document related to your taxes, you could name the folder ‘Tax Documents’.

Step 4: Open the Camera app

Now that you have created a folder to store your scanned documents, you can open the Camera app. To do this, simply click on the Launcher button and then select the Camera app.

Step 5: Turn on the camera

When you open the Camera app, you will see a small icon located in the top right-hand corner of the screen that looks like a camera. Click on this icon to activate your camera.

Step 6: Position the document

Now that your camera is turned on, you can position your document in front of the camera. Make sure that the document is flat and centered in the frame so that it can be properly scanned.

Step 7: Take the picture

Once your document is properly positioned, click on the shutter button to take a picture of the document. You can take multiple pictures of the same document if necessary.

Step 8: Save the scanned document

After taking a picture of your document, the Camera app will ask you if you want to save the image. Choose the ‘Save’ option and then select the folder you created earlier.

Step 9: Repeat the process

If you have more documents to scan, you can repeat the process outlined in steps 6, 7, and 8 until you have scanned all of your documents. Your scanned documents will be saved in the folder you created in step 2.

Conclusion

Scanning documents with your Chromebook camera is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily scan and save your documents to your Chromebook for easy access later on.
