How can I remove my finger with Scan.Plus

When scanning documents with your phone, it’s easy to accidentally include your fingers in the frame, especially when holding the paper in place.

With Scan.Plus, that’s no longer a concern. Our Finger Remove feature, powered by advanced in-house AI technology, automatically detects and removes fingers from your scans. The result? Clean, professional-looking documents every time, with no extra effort on your part.

Why is removing fingers from scanned documents important?

Accidentally capturing your fingers in a scan is a common issue when holding documents in place. However, removing them is more than just a cosmetic fix—it makes a big difference in the quality and professionalism of your scans. Here’s why:

• Maintains a clean, polished look
  A finger-free scan looks tidy and professional—ideal for formal or official documents.
• Preserves important content
  Fingers can block text, signatures, or other critical information, making the document unclear or incomplete.
• Prevents layout distortion
  Obstructions can warp the shape of the document, especially in edge detection or cropping.
• Improves clarity and readability
  A clear scan is easier to read, process, and share, whether it’s for work, legal, or personal use.

You can easily remove your fingers using the Scan.Plus mobile app, available on both iOS and Android devices.
