Remove handwriting and marks
The AI targets handwritten notes, pen strokes, underlines, highlights, and scribbles while leaving the underlying printed content intact. Works on JPG, PNG, and WebP document images. Need to remove handwriting from a PDF instead?
Auto-crop to the paper
After cleanup, the tool detects the outer edges of the paper and removes excess background — desk surfaces, dark scanner borders, shadows, and surrounding clutter. The result is a tightly framed image that looks like it came straight from a printer.
Fix skewed and warped pages
Phone photos and flatbed scans rarely come out perfectly aligned. The tool corrects tilted pages, straightens curved or bent edges, and flattens warped areas so the finished image looks flat and evenly proportioned.

Process
Click Process. The AI removes handwriting, crops to the paper edge, and corrects skew. Results are ready in seconds.
Fine-tune with manual editing
If any marks remain, switch to manual edit mode. Paint over the area with the brush tool and the AI will clean just that region.
Best for document images you want to use again
Especially useful when the original page is a scanned image or a phone photo rather than a PDF.
Worksheet Images

Strip out handwriting from scanned forms and recover a clean blank image that is easier to store, share, or print again.
Office Document Scans
Remove pen marks and annotations from scanned office paperwork to get a cleaner image that is easier to file or share internally.
