Apply scanner effect to PDF
Give your PDF a scanned document look: grayscale, noise, slight rotation and paper texture.
Apply scanner effect to PDF
The scanner effect makes a digital PDF look like a scanned physical document — adding subtle rotation, texture, and visual characteristics of a real office scan.
The effect adds mild noise, slight page warping, and a faint yellowed or gray tint that mimics a document scanned on a standard office scanner.
Useful when a digital document needs to appear as though it was physically handled and scanned, for submissions that traditionally required paper originals.
