Look Scanned

Look Scanned is a free online tool that transforms digital PDF and image files into documents that appear to have been physically scanned, adding realistic scanning artifacts including slight rotation, paper texture, noise, shadow effects, and reduced resolution to create authentic-looking scanned document outputs. The scan effect simulation applies configurable parameters including rotation angle, page curl, shadow intensity, noise grain, blur level, and color adjustment, enabling users to fine-tune the scanned appearance from subtle to heavily degraded effects. The batch processing mode enables applying scan effects to multiple pages or multiple documents simultaneously. The output format options include PDF and common image formats with adjustable DPI settings to simulate different scanner quality levels. The privacy-focused design processes files locally in the browser without uploading to external servers, ensuring sensitive documents remain on the user's device. The interface provides a live preview of scan effects before generating the final output, with side-by-side comparison of original and scanned versions. Designed for office workers, administrative staff, students, and professionals who need to make digital documents appear as physical scans for submission requirements, compliance processes, or archiving purposes.
