How to Straighten Your Document Photo

    Start by selecting the skewed or angled photo of the document you want to fix. You can drag and drop the file or choose it from your device.

  2. 2

    Enter your prompt

    You can add simple text instructions for the AI, such as 'straighten the document' or 'fix perspective and enhance text' to guide the correction process.

  3. 3

    Generate your straightened image

    With one click, the AI will process your image, correct the perspective, and produce a clean, straight version of your document.

  4. 4

    Download your document

    Your professional, scan-quality document photo is ready. Download the high-resolution PNG file to save, share, or print.

Turn a distorted photo of a document into a clean, flat, and professional-looking file. Instead of spending time with manual editing tools, our AI-powered perspective correction does the work for you. Simply upload your image, and the tool automatically detects the document's edges and adjusts the perspective to create a perfectly squared image. This process fixes distortions caused by camera angles, giving you a result that looks like it came from a flatbed scanner, ready for professional use or archiving in just a few moments.

Get Scan-Quality Results Instantly

Taking a picture of a document from an angle can create a skewed or trapezoidal look, which appears unprofessional and can be hard to read. Our AI tool is designed to solve this exact problem. It intelligently analyzes the photo, identifies the distorted perspective, and applies a transformation to make the document appear as if it were photographed from directly above. This automatic dewarping process saves you the trouble of trying to get the perfect angle and ensures a consistent, straight result with every use.

Perfectly Straight Documents, Every Time

Beyond just straightening, our tool also works to improve the overall quality of your document photo. The AI can adjust contrast and brightness, making text appear sharper and more legible. This is incredibly useful for digitizing important papers, receipts, or notes where every detail matters. By cleaning up shadows and enhancing the text, the final image is not only straight but also significantly easier to read and share. This makes it ideal for preparing documents for printing, emailing, or even for use with optical character recognition (OCR) software.
