To ensure that multiple scanned pages are uniform in size and alignment, it’s crucial to maintain a consistent distance between the iPhone camera and the page. Achieving this consistency is difficult if the phone is handheld, as even slight variations in angle or distance can distort the scan. The most reliable method is to mount the iPhone securely on a stable surface, such as a table or tripod, so the camera remains fixed in position. Once mounted, you can trigger the scan remotely using a Bluetooth shutter or similar device. This setup eliminates hand movement, preserves the exact scanning distance, and guarantees that each page is captured with the same dimensions and clarity—making the final set of scans clean, professional, and perfectly aligned.
