How it works

  1. Upload your document scan

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better document scan results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple cleaning: 25-35 seconds. Complex fixes with perspective: 35-45 seconds.
  2. Describe what to fix

    Type what you want: 'clean the scan and enhance text clarity' or 'remove shadows and straighten the page.' The AI understands document problems—shadows, wrinkles, perspective distortion, faded text. No marking needed.

    Tip: Combine fixes for comprehensive cleaning: 'remove shadows, enhance text, and straighten the perspective' handles everything at once.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    General scan cleanup clean the document scan, remove shadows, and enhance text clarity
    Perspective correction straighten the page and fix the perspective to make it look flat and professional
    Shadow removal remove shadows from the document and make the background pure white
    Faded text enhancement enhance the faded text to make it dark and readable, increase contrast
    2 more prompts
    Wrinkle and fold removal remove wrinkles and fold lines from the paper, make it look smooth
    Comprehensive document restoration clean the scan completely - remove shadows, enhance text, straighten perspective, and remove wrinkles
  3. Review the cleaned document

    Check that text is clear and readable, shadows are gone, and the page looks flat and straight. Verify important details like signatures, numbers, and fine print are preserved and legible.

Angled invoice photo turned into a flat scan

A paper invoice shot at an angle under a desk lamp — keystoned, creased down the middle, half in shadow and cast yellow. The result is cropped to the page, straightened to a true rectangle, the crease flattened, and the paper taken to white with the text crisp.

Prompt: clean up this document scan — straighten the page to a flat rectangle, remove the shadow and the fold crease, and make the background pure white with crisp black text, like a proper flatbed scan

After

Warm, grainy invoice photo turned into a flat scan

An invoice photographed on a desk under dim yellow light — heavy orange cast, grain, and soft line-item text. It comes back as a clean upright scan: white paper, crisp black type, and the item table and total readable.

Prompt: extract this invoice from the photo and turn it into a clean flat scan — crop to the page only, straighten it to a perfect upright rectangle, make the paper pure white with no yellow cast, remove the grain, and render the heading, table and total as crisp black text

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before cleaning the document?

No! Just describe what to fix: 'clean the scan and enhance text' or 'remove shadows and straighten the page.' The AI recognizes document content and fixes problems automatically.

Can this fix documents photographed with a phone camera?

Yes! Phone photos often have shadows, angles, and perspective distortion. The AI handles all of these: 'remove shadows, straighten perspective, and enhance text.' It transforms casual phone photos into clean professional-looking scans suitable for printing or OCR.

Will cleaning improve OCR text recognition?

Absolutely! OCR fails on shadowy, faded, or crooked text. Cleaning documents first—removing shadows, enhancing text, fixing perspective—dramatically improves OCR accuracy. Clean scans with high-contrast text are what OCR software needs to succeed.

Can I clean old faded documents to make them readable?

Yes! Tell the AI: 'enhance the faded text to make it dark and readable, increase contrast.' This brings out text that's hard to see in original scans, perfect for old receipts, contracts, or archived documents that have degraded over time.
