How do I clean up a scanned image?

Very often, scanned documents require additional processing to improve the appearance and prepare for text recognition. This may be due to poor quality of the original image, low resolution scanner, rescan copies. Scanned images may also have defects such as hole punch marks, bent corners, staple marks, damaged sheets, and more.

You can easily clean scanned documents using the following tools (Tools menu):

• Remove noise and Remove isolated pixels.
   
• Remove punch holes
   
• Remove black areas
   
• Deskewing and Deskewing fine

If you need to convert a significant number of files, you can use the Batch mode of the program.
