Make Look Scanned

What it does

Make Look Scanned is a free, privacy-focused browser tool for turning digital PDFs into realistic scanned-looking documents with adjustable rotation, paper tone, blur, grain, shadows, grayscale, and image-based export.

Make your PDF look scanned with realistic scanner effects like paper tone, blur, noise, skew, and edge shadows. Free, private, and processed locally in your browser.

Make a PDF look scanned directly in your browser. Add realistic scanner effects like subtle rotation, paper tone, blur, grain, edge shadow, and image-based PDF export without using a physical scanner. Private by design: your PDF is processed locally in the browser and is not uploaded. Skip the printer and physical scanner. Add believable scan imperfections to a digital PDF and export a flattened, image-based document in minutes. Open the page, upload a PDF, adjust the effect sliders, preview the result, and download the scanned-looking file. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so sensitive contracts, forms, and signed files do not need to leave your device. Fine-tune page rotation,…from makelookscanned.com

  Make PDFs look scanned (CLI or in the browser via WASM)Jun 2026 · github.com · ▲155

  I made this because the online "make my PDF look scanned" tools want you to upload your file to their servers, which feels sketchy at best. Also, I wasn't happy with the output they produce, I wanted something that looks realistic.

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
