Overview
What is LensUp?
LensUp is a browser-based document toolkit for scanning, cleaning, converting, compressing, and editing files without installing desktop software. It can turn phone photos into scanned PDFs, correct perspective, remove shadows, compress documents toward specific file-size limits, create passport photos, prepare ID card sheets, and extract printed text with OCR. LensUp also includes PDF editing and image conversion tools, with most free processing performed locally on the user’s device. Optional Pro processing supports enhanced recognition for more complex content such as formulas and tables.
