Frequently asked questions
Can I make a screenshot look like a scanned document?
Yes. Select the PNG screenshot, place it on paper and apply a light scan effect. The result is a PDF page, useful for turning a digital screen capture into a scanned-looking copy.
What happens to transparent areas in a PNG?
Transparent areas show the paper underneath when the image is placed on the page. Choose the paper background before previewing the scan effect.
Should I use PNG or JPG for text and diagrams?
Use the original PNG when you have one: it avoids introducing JPEG compression artifacts around letters and thin lines. Keep the scan effect light enough to preserve those details.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Standard scanning and bulk scanning both run locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
Standard scanning is free and needs no signup. Free scans have a fixed daily limit; Pro lifts it and also unlocks bulk scanning, an ad-free workspace and API access.
