Document Photo Scanner

This document photo scanner is for camera shots of paper. Upload the photo, flatten the sheet, and export a page that looks scanned instead of snapped.

Add the document photo

Contracts, letters, and forms from the camera roll. Slight tilt is expected.

The free path is 1 scan per day and the result includes a watermark. Pro removes the daily cap and the watermark.

Any photos you upload and any scans we generate are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Please download your scanned files before then.

What a document photo scanner does

A document photo scanner starts from a picture, not from a hardware bed. The job is to find the sheet in the photo and make it look like a scan a clerk can read.

Photos this page handles well

Overhead shots of a letter, a signed form, or a contract on a table. A document photo scanner is a poor fit for thick books; use a flatbed for those.

  1. 01

    Import the shot

    Use the photo you already have. Retake only if text is cut off.

  2. 02

    Page cleanup

    Flattening and shadow removal run without corner handles.

  3. 03

    Submit the file

    Export PDF or images for the portal that asked for a scan.

Document photo vs receipt photo

Receipts are small and often crumpled; there is a separate receipt page for that. This document photo scanner is for full sheets: letters, applications, and contracts.

Document photo scanner questions

Can a document photo scanner replace a copier?

For a single sheet, usually yes. For a bound packet, a copier or flatbed still produces more even pages.

Does the document photo scanner keep my files?

Uploads and generated scans are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Download the result before then.

What happens to the photos I upload?

Any photos you upload and any scans we generate are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Please download your scanned files before then. We do not sell your documents or use them for ads.
