Document Scanner Online — Free
Turn a phone photo of a document into a clean scan. Auto-detect edges, fix perspective, and output a flat rectangular page in color, gray, or black & white.
Best practices for capture
Place the document on a contrasting background. Use even lighting; avoid one harsh shadow. Capture from directly above where possible. The scanner handles tilt, but a cleaner source means a cleaner scan.
Frequently asked questions
What mode for OCR?
Black & white is best for OCR. The high-contrast output makes text recognition more reliable.
Is it actually free?
Yes. No signup, no daily cap on normal personal use, no watermark on the output. Display ads keep the site free.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The upload box opens the camera roll on mobile browsers directly.
