Edit, crop and rotate a scan

When you take a scan, Genius Scan detects the borders of your document so you don't have to crop and straighten the scan yourself. However, you can adjust the frame of the document both during and after the scanning process.

Find the Edit screen

  1. Open Genius Scan and tap a document to open it. Tap Edit at the bottom of your screen to open the Edit screen.

  1. Edit your document directly from the Edit screen.

Edit options appear in the lower half of the screen

Change the filter applied to your document

From the Edit screen (iOS) or Edit toolbar (Android):

Choose the filter you want to apply to your document. The Filter preview allows you to see what your document will look like.

A row with thumbnail previews displays the different filters you can apply to your documents

Recrop your document

From the Edit screen (iOS) or Edit toolbar (Android):

  1. Tap the Recrop button to recrop your document.

The photo of your document is displayed so you can recrop it.
  1. Drag and drop the corner of the quadrangle to adjust the frame of the scan and tap Done. Tip: use the magnifier to position the frame with high precision and without your fingers obstructing the preview. Cropping and perspective have been applied to your document.

A magnifying glass lets you inspect the corners of your document for more precision.

You can choose Detect to detect the document in your scan, or Maximize to revert your scan to the original photo.

Rotate

From the Edit screen (iOS) or Edit toolbar (Android), choose between Left and Right to rotate your document. Each time you tap, the scan rotates by 90° clockwise and counterclockwise.

Two different options allow you to rotate your document to the left, or to the right

Curvature Correction

From the Edit screen (iOS) or Edit toolbar (Android), tap the Curvature Correction feature to straighten your document further. Tap the button again to revert its effect.

Toggle on the curvature correction button to straighten your document. When toggled on, the button appears green.
