  • Try flash, unless scanning glossy documents (magazines, etc.)

  • Give your device enough time to focus (usually wait 1 or 2 seconds until the picture appears sharp).

  • Remain stable and hold your device at least 12 inches away when you try to scan. If you bring it too close, your photo will be blurry.

  • Place your document on a contrasting and uniformed background for better border detection.

How to manually adjust the border

After you take the photo, Tiny Scanner will detect the borders for your document.

If border detection was not successful, you can adjust the border manually. Drag the corner point of the detected border, match it with the one of your document. It’s not necessarily to drag from the accurate corner point, you can just drag from near the corner point.
