Turn a phone photo into a clean scan
Marketplaces keep asking for documents: a CNIC or passport page for Daraz seller verification, a utility bill and bank statement for Amazon identity checks, a signed invoice for brand approval, a customs declaration for a shipment. A phone photo of the paper is skewed, grey, and shows the table underneath. The Document Scanner finds the page edges, straightens the perspective, cleans up the lighting and gives you a scanned PDF from a photo that looks like it came from a flatbed.
How it works
- Drop one or more photos of pages. Several pages become one multi-page PDF in the order you add them.
- The tool detects the four corners of the document automatically. If it misses, drag any corner handle on the preview; a magnifier shows the exact edge under your finger.
- Click Straighten. The perspective is corrected so the page becomes a true rectangle at its real proportions, for example A4 at 210 by 297 mm.
- Choose a filter: Enhanced boosts contrast and neutralises the colour cast while keeping colour, Greyscale drops colour, and Black and white thresholds the page to pure text on white, the smallest and most legible option for forms.
- Export as a PDF (one file for all pages) or as individual JPGs, and download.
Why it matters
- A 12 MP phone photo is around 4000Γ3000 px, more than the 2480Γ3508 px an A4 page needs at 300 DPI, so the straightened output keeps print quality.
- The same page as an original photo is 3 to 5 MB; the black and white scan is usually 150 to 400 KB, which fits the upload limits most seller portals impose on identity documents.
- Amazon, Etsy and TikTok Shop verification reviewers reject unreadable or cropped documents, and a resubmission can delay activation by days. All four corners and all edges must be visible; the corner handles make that easy to confirm.
- Straightened pages are what OCR needs. Skewed text is the most common reason text extraction fails.
| Filter | Best for | Typical A4 JPG size |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced (colour) | ID cards, stamps, signatures in ink | 500 KB to 1 MB |
| Greyscale | Invoices, receipts | 250 to 500 KB |
| Black and white | Forms, contracts, printed text | 150 to 400 KB |
Tips
- Photograph on a dark, plain surface; corner detection is most reliable when the page contrasts with the background.
- Shoot from directly above with the whole page in frame and a little margin around it. Shadows from your hand or phone are the main thing the filters have to fight.
- Keep colour for anything with a stamp, hologram or coloured ink; verification teams sometimes ask for colour copies.
- Combine scans with other files, or change page size and margins, in Image to PDF / PDF to Images.
- Need the text itself? Run the clean scan through Image to Text (OCR). To lift a signature off a page onto a transparent background, use the Signature Background Remover. If a portal has a strict KB cap, finish with the Photo Size Reducer to Exact KB.
Privacy
Your images never leave your browser. Corner detection, perspective correction and filtering all run on your own device, so identity documents, bank statements and contracts are never uploaded to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Does it detect the page edges automatically?
Yes. The tool looks for the strongest four-sided outline in the photo and places corner handles on it. If the page blends into the background, drag any handle to the correct corner; a magnified view helps you land exactly on the edge. Perspective correction then straightens the page.
Which filter should I use for ID documents?
Use Enhanced, which keeps colour while fixing contrast and colour cast. Verification teams at Amazon, Etsy and Daraz often want colour copies of CNICs, passports and bank cards so holograms and stamps stay visible. Use Black and white for printed forms and contracts.
Can I scan several pages into one PDF?
Yes. Drop all the pages, or add them one at a time; each is straightened and filtered separately, then combined into one multi-page PDF in the order shown. Drag the thumbnails to reorder. You can also export the pages as individual JPG files instead.
How big are the output files?
A black and white A4 page is usually 150 to 400 KB as JPG, greyscale 250 to 500 KB, and colour 500 KB to 1 MB, compared with 3 to 5 MB for the original photo. Most seller portals cap uploads at 5 or 10 MB, so multi-page PDFs fit comfortably.
Is the scan good enough for OCR?
Yes, and it is the recommended first step. Straightening removes skew, which is the main cause of OCR errors, and the black and white filter gives clean text on white. Run the result through Image to Text (OCR) to extract the words.
