About Scan image to document
Clean up a photographed document and turn it into a scanned-style image. This is useful when you only have a phone photo but need a more document-like result.
Photo versus scanned-style document
A phone photo can contain shadows, uneven lighting and color casts. Scan-style processing reduces visual distractions and improves the document-like appearance, especially for plain paper.
When black and white helps
Black-and-white output can make text stand out and can reduce file size. Grayscale can preserve more detail where stamps, signatures or faint marks matter.
Check the edges and readability
For official submissions, make sure the whole page is visible, text is readable and no important information was clipped before you upload the result.
Frequently asked questions
Does this OCR the document?
No. Scan-style processing changes the image appearance; it does not by itself turn the page into editable text.
Can I use a phone photo?
Yes. A clear, well-lit document photo is the intended input.
