Scanned PDF Converter
Add controlled rotation, tone, blur, noise, and an optional paper border to a local document without uploading it or claiming OCR.
LOCAL SCAN APPEARANCE
Make a local document look scanned
Render a PDF or image, apply a controlled paper and scanner effect, and download a new image-based PDF without uploading the source.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Choose one PDF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF file within the displayed limits.
- Adjust the scan appearance and resolution, then create the image-based PDF.
- Review the result description and download the new PDF.
A bounded scan appearance
The tool renders local PDF pages or a single browser-decodable image, then applies rotation, brightness, contrast, blur, noise, optional grayscale, and a paper border. It creates a new image-based PDF; it does not add OCR or preserve editable text.
Local processing and limits
Input bytes, page count, decoded pixels, per-page pixels, and output size are bounded to keep work in browser memory. Encrypted, password-protected, damaged, animated, and unsupported inputs are refused or reduced to their browser-decoded still image.
What the output does not claim
This is a visual scan-effect converter, not an OCR, signature, authenticity, or document-fidelity tool. Links, annotations, forms, signatures, metadata, and selectable text are not preserved in the image-only PDF.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does this perform OCR?
No. It creates a scanned-looking image PDF and does not recognize or add searchable text.
Which files are accepted?
One local PDF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF file. DOCX and other office formats are intentionally not accepted.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Decoding, rendering, effects, PDF creation, and download stay in this browser.
Will the result keep selectable text or form fields?
No. Each output page is a raster image. Keep the original when you need searchable text, links, forms, signatures, or metadata.
