How it works
A photo taken at your desk has perspective, shadows and a background nobody wants. The tool finds the outline of the paper, corrects the perspective so it becomes a rectangle and evens out the lighting so the paper turns white and the text dark. A scanning animation shows the change, and you can peel the page by dragging it. Then download PNG, JPG or PDF.
- Drop a photo (or take one with your phone).
- Check the 4 yellow corners; drag them if needed.
- Choose colour, greyscale or black and white.
- Download the PDF.
Limits, stated plainly
Auto-detection needs the paper to be lighter than the background. If it fails, adjust the corners by hand. In this version the PDF holds only the image; for searchable text use “PDF to text”.
Frequently asked questions
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Detection, correction and the PDF all happen on your device.
Can I scan several pages?
One photo at a time; then merge them in “PDF pages”.
