From camera roll to scan PDF
01
Use the photo you already took
Tilt and a bit of table in the frame are normal. You don't need a perfect overhead shot.
02
Automatic flattening
Perspective is corrected without dragging handles. That's the difference versus most web crop tools.
03
Export a scan, not a snapshot
Download a PDF or images.

Photo to scan FAQ
Can I scan a photo taken at an angle?
Yes. Flattening is automatic. Very extreme angles can still fail — retake from more of an overhead angle if the page is badly warped.
Will the desk background disappear?
The page area is isolated automatically. You do not draw the crop box yourself.
Is there a watermark?
Free and paid limits are listed on the pricing page. The scan itself is meant to look like a real scan, not a snapshot.
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.
