GPT-4oWhat is LensUp?
LensUp is a free online document scanner that converts photos into clean, printable PDFs. Crop, de-shadow, adjust contrast, and straighten pages by hand, then export an A4 or Letter PDF, or compress toward a target size like 200 KB or 500 KB. Files never leave your device, so there is no upload and no sign-up. It is built for job and government applications, students, ID and paperwork errands, receipts, and technical references. The core scanner is free with no watermark; extra tools like ID card copy, passport photo, PDF editor, and Markdown converters sit alongside it.

Pros
- No upload and no sign-up, so documents stay on your device
- Free core scanner with no watermark

- Target-size compression helps meet strict upload limits
- Handles ID cards and passport photos in addition to standard pages
Cons
- Requires a modern browser with a working PDF engine; older browsers are not supported
- High detail export uses original photos, so files are larger and export is slower
