Convert Camera Photos to Crisp Scanned B&W PDF Documents
Why we built this: Taking phone camera photos of documents usually results in uneven lighting, yellow desk tints, and dark phone shadows across the paper. Mobile scanner apps often gate clean PDF exports behind expensive yearly subscriptions or stamp ugly watermarks on your papers. This tool gives you studio-grade adaptive document scanning 100% free.
How it works: 1) Upload one or more phone camera photos of documents, homework, or receipts. 2) Our adaptive integral thresholding automatically neutralizes background paper shadows while making text crisp black. 3) Adjust rotation and page order, then click "Download Scanned PDF" to get a clean multi-page document.
The scanning filter uses a Sauvola/Bradley local luminance window algorithm: rather than applying a naive global threshold, it evaluates local neighborhood brightness, ensuring text stays crisp even in unevenly lit corners.
