Make Scanned Text Sharper and Clearer
Pixelcut’s AI cleaning tool clarifies every letter on your page. Whether text is faint, blurry, or smudged, this AI brightens and sharpens it for easy reading. Faded ink, dust, and ghosting disappear as the model separates text from background. The result is a crisp page where every word stands out. Even fine fonts and small details stay sharp, as if your document was captured by a high-end scanner. For any type of page, the image looks professionally scanned and easy to read.

Erase Stains, Shadows, and Scribbles
Pixelcut’s AI acts like a digital eraser for your page. Describe what to remove (for example, "erase stains and pencil marks") and the AI instantly erases them. It fills in those areas by matching the surrounding paper texture so the page looks untouched. Coffee spills, ink smudges, or random doodles on the scan will vanish seamlessly. Even shadows from folds or dark edges are cleared. The result is a pristine document, free of any blemishes.

Straighten and Brighten Pages Automatically
If a page was scanned or photographed at an angle, Pixelcut straightens it in seconds. The AI detects page edges and rotates the image so lines of text are horizontal and centered. It also crops away anything outside the page border. Next, the tool evens out lighting by brightening dark areas and balancing contrast across the page. The crooked, shadowy scan becomes a flat, evenly lit document. Just prompt "straighten page" or "correct lighting" and Pixelcut does the rest.

You can upload standard image files of your scanned document, such as JPG or PNG. The AI processes the image and returns a high-resolution PNG file. If you have a PDF, convert it to an image (for example, take a screenshot or export a page to JPG) before uploading, then download the cleaned result.
