This tool runs in your browser. Selected files are not sent to our server.
How to use it
- Photograph the paper against a contrasting background.
- Choose the image and a color, grayscale, or black-and-white mode.
- Review the detected and straightened page, then download PNG.
What to know
Edges are detected automatically. Poor light, a matching background, or hands covering the page can prevent detection; take another photo if needed. This tool does not OCR text. Input limit: 20 MB and 20 megapixels; output is at most 4096 pixels per side. The image is not uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What if no paper edge is found?
Place the page on a flat, contrasting background and photograph it again.
Will the scan contain editable text?
No. This straightens an image; use an OCR tool to extract text.
