Tips to Get the Perfect Crop on Your Document Scans Using AI

Discover how to prepare your paper documents to achieve clean, professional crops using AI edge detection algorithms.

While AI corner detection algorithms are highly advanced, they still rely on visual cues from your camera. Follow these simple tips to get a perfect crop every time.

1. Use a Contrasting Background

Place your white paper document on a dark table (wood, dark plastic, etc.). This contrast helps the AI instantly identify the boundaries of the paper. Read more about this technology in our article on AI Edge Detection.

2. Avoid Angled Shots

Try to hold your phone directly above the document. While our system applies perspective correction, extreme angles can stretch the text and reduce legibility.

3. Smooth Out Folds

Folded or wrinkled paper can confuse corner detection. Smooth out the page as much as possible before uploading. If the auto-crop is slightly off, you can always enter manual crop mode to adjust the points. Go to the Home Page to test it out.
