Deskew Scanned PDF online, free and private

Crooked scan lines are distracting and can reduce OCR quality. Automatic deskew scores horizontal text alignment page by page, while manual mode applies one precise angle to the whole document.

The complete workflow runs locally in your browser. Your source file is not sent to PDFToolz or stored on a server.
