The 10-Second “Scanner”: Unblur Document Photos Fast

Turn a phone snap into a clean, searchable document

You don’t need a flatbed. With a good capture and unblur image AI, it takes seconds to unblur document photo and make text OCR-ready.

Capture like a pro (with a phone)

• Light: daylight from the side; avoid top-down glare.
• Angle: keep the camera parallel; enable grid; fill the frame.
• Burst: take 2–3 shots; one will be the crispiest.

1. De-skew: auto corner detect to straighten pages.
2. Text de-blur: character-width deconvolution restores edge contrast.
3. Adaptive threshold: separates ink from paper without losing faint strokes.
4. Micro-contrast: pushes legibility for small fonts and stamps.

Export a PDF for email or an image for apps that need pictures. For mobile shots in general, see how to unblur image on iPhone — the same habits make every snap cleaner.

Quick fixes for common headaches

• Gray paper? Raise “paper clean.”
• Receipts in color? Keep color on; some totals print red.
• Shadow bands? Crop tighter and re-run the pass.
