Shadows & lighting

Remove shadows from a photo of a document.

Photographing paperwork indoors almost always leaves a shadow from your hand, your phone or the lamp behind you. UncreaseAI evens out the lighting across the whole page, clears glare and hotspots, and brings faint print back to a readable contrast.

Questions

Can it save a very dark photo?

Usually yes, as long as the text is still visible. UncreaseAI enhances what is there and never invents missing content.

Does it work on receipts?

Yes — there is a dedicated receipt mode for thin thermal paper and curled till rolls.

Can I get a pure black-and-white scan?

Yes. Choose the black & white output style before restoring.

Are my files kept?

They are stored privately and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
