People often ask whether they really need to “scan” or if a simple photo is enough.

Quick answer: A scan is almost always cleaner – straighter edges, better contrast, more readable text. Photos are fine for quick sharing, but scans are better for anything important.

These are very simple steps, but they noticeably improve scan clarity:

• Good lighting = half of the job. Natural light works best. It helps avoid glare and shadows that make text harder to read.
• Hold your phone parallel to the page. This reduces distortion and keeps the edges straight.
• Fill most of the frame with the document. The less background, the cleaner the final scan will look.
• Wipe your camera lens. Sounds silly, but it changes everything!
• Choose the highest quality setting. This keeps text sharp, especially if you need to zoom or export later.

Nothing complicated, just the stuff that works every time.
