An online scanner is a web tool that turns photos of paper into clean digital pages, with no physical scanner and no app to install.
ScannerOnline is a free online scanner for documents, notes and books. It detects each page in your photo, corrects the angle it was taken from, evens out the lighting, and combines the result into a single PDF.
