Crop & Clean Scan
Phone scanned documents with visible shadows and background clutter look unprofessional and inflate file size. Crop tight to the page and adjust brightness/contrast to clean it up.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this tool.
How do I remove shadows from a phone scanned document?
Tick "Auto clean shadows", it evens out uneven lighting across the page the same way scanner shadow removal filters do, then crop to the page edges.
What's the best way to photograph a document with a phone?
Flat surface, daylight from a window, camera parallel to the page, and no flash, then crop and clean here rather than reshooting.
Is my scan uploaded anywhere?
No, cropping and cleanup run entirely in your browser.
