A PDF cleaner tool is a powerful utility designed to fix and optimize scanned documents. It goes beyond simple editing by applying advanced algorithms to remove common imperfections like specks, smudges, and shadows. The tool automatically despeckles the document, removing small dots and noise, and deskews it, straightening any pages that were scanned at an angle. This results in a crisp, professional-looking PDF that's easier to read, print, and share.
Our online PDF cleaner works seamlessly to enhance the clarity and quality of your files. Simply upload your document, choose your preferred cleaning style (like black and white for maximum contrast or a color enhancement), and download a new, optimized PDF file. The process is completely secure and doesn't require any software installation.
Scanned documents often come with a variety of imperfections from the scanning process itself. Cleaning your PDF addresses these issues, making your files more usable and professional.
Our tool offers more than just basic cleaning. We provide specific options to give you the exact look and feel you need for your document.
Despeckle refers to the removal of tiny, unwanted dots or marks (specks) from a scanned image, which are often caused by dust on the scanner glass or flaws in the paper. Deskew is the process of straightening a page that was scanned at an angle, making the text and images perfectly horizontal and vertical.
Yes. The cleaning process works on the image data of the page, so it will clean up the background and straighten the page regardless of whether the content is typed or handwritten. While it won't correct the handwriting itself, it will improve the overall clarity and presentation of the document.
Our PDF cleaner is specialized for document clarity. If you need to make additional changes, such as editing text, adding signatures, or filling out forms, you can use our comprehensive PDF Editor. For combining cleaned pages with other documents, check out our Merge PDF tool.
