Make any PDF or image look like a real scan

ScannedLook is a browser-based scanned PDF generator. Adjust rotation, blur, noise, paper warmth, and scanner-bed framing, add optional watermarks, and set PDF metadata — with processing done in your browser so your files stay on your device.

Local processing

PDFs and images are processed in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers for conversion — ideal for contracts, IDs, and sensitive paperwork.

Scan effects

Fine-tune blur, grain, skew, contrast, simulated resolution, and paper tone with a live before/after preview.

Mobile friendly

Works in modern mobile browsers — no app store install. Upload, tweak, and download on phone or tablet when your browser supports it.

Fast export

Generate a new PDF in seconds after your file is loaded. Multi-page PDFs are supported with page navigation.

PDF & images

Start from an existing PDF or from PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Output is a PDF that looks like it came from a flatbed or sheet-fed scanner.

Works offline

After the site is loaded once, many browsers let you keep using the app without a connection — everything runs locally.

Guides & best practices

The ScannedLook blog covers client-side PDF tools, scan-style exports, watermarks, metadata, and when a realistic scan look is appropriate. It is written for people who care about privacy and file hygiene — not generic filler.
