Your file is deleted the moment it's done. The big PDF sites keep your bank statements and IDs on their servers. Here the original goes right after processing, the result after 45 minutes, or sooner, on your click.

Your upload is deleted right after processing; the result stays 45 minutes so you can download it. Files are never used for AI training and are never sold or shared, what we do with your files.

Turn a phone photo into a real scan

A photo of a document is crooked, shadowed and framed by whatever was on the table. ScanReviver fixes that and gives you back something you can actually file, e-mail or print. No scanner, no app to install.

Crop & straighten

Detects the page edges and corrects the perspective, so a photo taken at an angle comes out square and flat.

Reduce shadows

Evens out the lighting and lifts the background toward white, so the shadow from your hand or the desk lamp is far less visible.

Colour, clean or B&W

Pick the cleanup that suits the document: keep it in full colour, whiten the paper for a scanned-in look with the colour intact, or crisp black & white for text pages.

Multi-page PDF

Add several pages and download them as one PDF, or grab a single clean JPG or PNG. An optional OCR text layer makes the PDF searchable (English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish & Portuguese).

From phone photo to clean page

  1. Upload a photo or scan of your document (add more pages any time).
  2. We detect the page, clean it up and show you the result straight away.
  3. Download the clean JPG, PNG or PDF, or open "Corners not right? Adjust manually" first if it needs a nudge.
10 seconds, nothing cut: a phone photo of a page goes in and comes out straightened, cleaned up and ready as a PDF.

Questions about scanning

Which files can I upload?

JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF and AVIF photos, up to 250 MB each and up to 30 pages per document. HEIC is the format an iPhone saves by default, so photos straight from an iPhone work without converting them first.

Is it really free?

Yes: no account, no watermark, up to 10 documents a day. The ads on the page are meant to keep the servers running. That is the whole model.

What happens to my document?

Your original upload is deleted right after processing. The cleaned result stays available for up to 45 minutes so you can download it, then it is deleted automatically, and you can also delete it immediately with the button on the result. Nothing is shared or used to train anything.

Can it make the PDF searchable?

Optionally, yes. Tick the OCR box before downloading a PDF and a hidden text layer is added (English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese), so you can select and search the text. A photo of text is just pixels until then: OCR is what puts real words underneath. It adds some processing time and is off by default.

Is it as good as a real scanner?

For most everyday documents in decent light it comes remarkably close, and it is a lot faster than finding a scanner. A dedicated scanner still wins on very dark shadows, glossy paper and fine detail. Very dark shadows, text covered by objects and severe blur may remain imperfect, so always check the result before relying on it.

Does it change the content of my document?

No. ScanReviver improves readability; it does not certify or authenticate documents, and it does not use generative AI to rewrite or invent content. It never fills in letters, changes numbers, edits dates or recreates signatures or stamps. Cleanup does adjust the image (contrast, colour or black & white), which is why you should always check the result before relying on it.
