  • Adjustable Darkening & Contrast: Fine tune brightness, contrast, and gamma levels to make light gray text and faded pencil markings highly readable.
  • Grayscale & Black & White Conversion: Convert color scans into high contrast monochrome documents to remove stains and improve clarity.
  • Multi Page PDF & Image Support: Upload scanned PDFs or multiple images (PNG, JPG, WebP) and process them page by-page.
