About this tool

Add a photo or scan of a document and the tool detects the tilt of the text lines and rotates the picture to make it straight. Download the corrected image as a JPG. Nothing is uploaded.

When it helps

A photo of a certificate or form taken at a slight angle is hard to read and looks careless when submitted. Straightening takes seconds and works best on pictures with clear lines of text.

Tips

Photograph the page flat from above in good light. If the page itself is bent or the camera was at a steep angle, the lines converge and a simple rotation cannot fix it; use the Document Scanner tool for perspective correction.

Tips for best results

Take a moment to read the options before you start, and try the tool with a small sample first. Everything runs in your browser on your own device, so nothing you type or add is uploaded, and closing the tab clears it. If something does not look right, reload the page and try again, or use the report link on this page to tell us what went wrong so we can fix it. If a result still looks wrong, change one value at a time to see which box matters most. Bookmark this page if you will need the tool again.
