- 2Drag the four corner handles onto the document’s edges.
- 3We straighten the perspective and boost contrast, like a real scan.
When you need this
A photo of a document taken at an angle, on a phone, looks like a photo — skewed, with uneven lighting. Portals and reviewers expect something that looks scanned. This straightens the perspective and evens out the contrast so a phone photo reads like it came off a flatbed scanner, without installing an app or paying for one.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. The perspective correction and contrast enhancement run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
- What if the automatic corner guess is wrong?
- Drag any of the four green handles to line them up with your document’s actual corners before scanning — the starting position is just a guess.
- Should I use color or black & white?
- Color keeps stamps, photos, and colored ink readable. Black & white often produces a smaller, crisper-looking file for plain text documents.
- PDF or JPG — which should I choose?
- PDF if the portal expects a document file; JPG if it expects an image. Both contain the same straightened, enhanced scan.
