  3. Download the result: Download the processed file directly to your device.

Controls and Options

Start with auto-crop and deskew enabled, then choose color, grayscale, or black-and-white output and set rotation or PDF page size only when needed.

Formats and Output

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Pixlane detect document edges automatically?

Is black-and-white mode useful for text documents?

Is processing available right now?
