What file formats does the document cleaner support?

Our document cleaner supports PDF files and all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, and TIF. You can clean both single-page images and multi-page PDF documents.

How does the smart document cleaning process work?

The tool uses smart auto-detection to analyze each page and identify issues like noise, blur, shadows, dark borders, pen marks, low contrast, skew, and soft edges. It automatically applies the appropriate cleaning operations only where needed, preserving already clean documents while enhancing poor-quality scans. No manual configuration required.

Can I remove pen marks and handwritten annotations from documents?

Yes! Our document cleaner includes intelligent pen mark removal that can detect and remove cross marks, scribbles, handwritten annotations, and unwanted lines while preserving the original printed text and document content.

Does the tool work on blurry or out-of-focus scanned documents?

Yes, the document cleaner includes advanced deblurring technology that automatically detects blur and applies Wiener deconvolution to restore sharpness. It works on motion blur, out-of-focus blur, and scanner-induced blur.

Will the tool straighten tilted or skewed scanned documents?

Yes, the auto-deskew feature automatically detects document tilt using Hough line detection and rotates the document to straighten it. This works on documents tilted up to 45 degrees.

What are the file limits for document cleaning?

The document cleaner supports files up to 25MB and PDFs up to 50 pages. For larger PDF files, use our PDF Compressor to reduce size or PDF Page Deleter to remove unnecessary pages. For large images, use our Image Compressor first. For PDFs with more than 50 pages, use our PDF Page Deleter to remove unwanted pages.

Is my document data secure and private?

Absolutely. All documents are processed securely on our servers and automatically deleted within 1 hour. We don't store, share, or access your documents. The processing is completely private and secure.

When should I use black and white mode?

Use black and white mode (binarization) for text-heavy documents to maximize clarity and reduce file size. It uses adaptive thresholding to convert the document to pure black text on white background, which is ideal for contracts, forms, and text documents.
