About ScanReviver

ScanReviver is a free online tool that turns a quick photo or scan of a document into a clean, straight, readable page: a tidy PDF or image you can share, print or archive.

What it does

Upload a document photo and ScanReviver detects the page, lets you fine-tune the four corners, corrects the perspective, evens out uneven lighting, and exports a clean result. You can keep it in colour, produce a near-white "scanned" look, or go crisp black & white. Multiple pages combine into a single PDF, and you can optionally add a searchable text layer.

What it does not do

ScanReviver improves readability. It does not certify or authenticate documents. 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. What it does do is adjust the image (contrast, colour or black & white), so fine details can shift and you should always check the result before relying on it. It cannot recover detail the original photo did not capture — very dark shadows, covered text and heavy blur may still look imperfect. It is a cleanup tool, plainly and honestly.

Privacy

Your original upload is deleted right after processing. Your cleaned result stays available for a short time so you can download it, then it is deleted automatically, and you can remove it immediately with "Delete now". Files are never used for AI training and are never sold or shared. See our privacy page for details.

Who it's for

Anyone who photographs paperwork with a phone: students scanning notes, people filing receipts and forms, or anyone who wants a tidy PDF without installing an app or creating an account.
