About Deskew PDF

Deskew PDF re-renders scanned pages after correcting detectable tilt so lines and text appear straighter.

Choose the right tool: Deskew corrects small angular tilt. Auto Rotate PDF handles pages that are sideways or upside down.

Important limitations

  • Severe perspective distortion is different from skew and may not be corrected.
  • Automatic angle detection can need review.
