Frequently asked questions

Can AI remove fold lines from a scanned image without damaging the text?

That is the goal of this page. The mask and built-in prompt are both aimed at keeping text and page structure intact while smoothing the fold lines and rebuilding the paper texture underneath.

Should I mask only the fold line or the whole page?

If you use a precise selection, target only the damaged fold area. You can also skip that step and rely on the prompt when the fold line is obvious.

What types of scans work best?

This works best on JPG, PNG, and similar scanned document images where the fold damage is visible but the underlying text or paper pattern is still recognizable.
