Scan Cleaner
Clean up a scan or a photo of a page: shadows evened out, paper white, text crisp. Free, on your device.
Scan Cleaner makes a scanned page or a photo of a document easier to read and print. It evens out shadows, dark corners and uneven light, turns gray or yellowed paper white, and darkens the text, in color, grayscale or black and white. Photos taken at an angle can be straightened too. Hold the button to compare with the original and check the result at full size before you download.

Questions
Will it make my text easier to read?
It makes the page look cleaner and print better. Faint, blurry or very small text can't be brought back; use Grayscale rather than Black & white for those.
Why is my scan's paper gray?
Scanners and cameras rarely record paper as pure white. Cleaning measures the paper's own brightness across the page and turns it white.
Can I clean several pages at once?
Scan Cleaner works on one page at a time. For several pages in one PDF, use Scan to PDF, which cleans every page.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's cleaned on your device and never leaves it.
