Tips for a clean result

  • Put the paper on a background darker than the paper (wooden desk, dark folder).
  • Show all 4 corners; let the paper fill most of the frame.
  • Use good light; avoid hand shadows and glare.

How to use

  1. Add photos of the pages (on a phone you can shoot straight from the camera).
  2. Each photo is checked for the paper edges, straightened and cleaned. Photos without a clear edge are kept as they are — press “Adjust corners” to pick the area yourself.
  3. Choose the clean-up (white paper, black & white, original colours); reorder or rotate pages if needed.
  4. Press “Create PDF” and download, or continue with Compress or OCR.

Current limits

  • Automatic edge finding needs light paper on a darker background; if the background is close to the paper colour or the paper fills the frame, the photo is kept for you to adjust.
  • Curved or creased paper is straightened by its 4 corners only; folds are not flattened.
  • The PDF holds images; to make text searchable and copyable, continue with OCR.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Edge finding, straightening, clean-up and PDF creation all run in your browser on your device. This page shows no ads.

Why was a photo not cropped?

When the background is too similar to the paper, the paper runs off the frame or not all 4 corners show, the tool does not guess and keeps the photo. Press “Adjust corners” on it to drag the corners onto the paper.

Which clean-up should I pick?

“Document” whitens the paper and keeps text dark — best for printed paperwork. “Black & white” gives the smallest file. “Original colours” keeps photos and coloured stamps.

Is the original photo changed?

No. The straightened photo is a new image; the original stays in your file list.
