Free Online Document Scanner

How to scan a document with MZScan

1. Select one or more photos from your phone or computer, or take a new photo with your camera.
2. Rotate the image, or use Crop or Auto crop to remove the background around the paper.
3. Choose a mode: Magic Doc works best for most documents, B&W Scan is ideal for printed text, Grayscale keeps soft tones and Color keeps the original colours.
4. Adjust whiteness, text darkness, sharpness and shadow removal with the sliders, then save as PNG, JPG or PDF.

Why use MZScan?

MZScan removes uneven lighting and hand shadows, turns the paper background clean white and sharpens text, so a simple phone photo looks like it came from a flatbed scanner. You can process many pages in one session and download them one by one or as a single PDF. Everything runs inside your browser, so your private documents are never uploaded to a server.

Features

• Automatic shadow removal and background whitening
• Four scan modes: Magic Doc, B&W, Grayscale and Color
• Manual crop, automatic crop and rotation
• Copy text from a scan with built-in OCR (English and Urdu)
• Export as PNG, JPG or a multi-page PDF

Tips for the best scan

Place the document on a flat, plain surface in bright, even light and hold the camera directly above the page so the text is not skewed. Make sure the whole page is inside the photo, then crop the edges. Avoid casting the shadow of your hand or phone on the paper.
