Scans, photos, and PDFs, made into real documents

From paper
to polished.

Lumidoc reads your pages, cleans them up, and hands you a document you can edit, style, share, and ask questions about. The original stays one click away.

  • 100 free credits a month
  • About 11 scanned pages
  • No card needed

A real scan and the real result. Drag the line to compare.

Bring in anything with words on it

  • PDF
  • Photos
  • iPhone HEIC
  • Word
  • Markdown
  • PowerPoint
  • EPUB
  • Web pages
  • your phone's camera, or a blank page

How it works

A minute from a photo to a document.

  1. Bring it in

    Drop in a PDF or photos, or scan pages with your phone. Choose just the pages you need, and see the price before you start.

  2. Lumidoc reads it

    Every page is read, tables and equations included. Smart Cleanup mends broken lines and stray headers without rewording you.

  3. Check it side by side

    The scan sits beside the text, page for page. Fix anything by hand or with AI, and see exactly what changed.

  4. Make it yours, send it

    Pick a theme and a cover in your brand, then export a PDF, Word file, or ebook, or share a link.

Or start with words

Already written? Skip to polished.

Write in Markdown, paste a draft from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, or bring in a Word or Markdown file. It gets the same themes, covers, and share links as a scan, and none of that costs a credit.

  • Tables, footnotes, callouts, and equations, in plain Markdown
  • Pasted drafts keep their headings, lists, links, and tables
  • A print proof with real page breaks before you export

Check it

The original, always beside the text.

Open the scan next to the words it became. Move through the text and the right page follows, so checking a number or a name takes a glance.

  • Page by page, in step with your cursor
  • The raw extraction kept, so you can see what the cleanup changed
  • Your file, downloadable whenever you need it

Refine it

AI that shows its work.

Select a passage and say what you want: clearer, shorter, more formal, a table, another language. Every change comes back as a marked-up diff for you to accept.

  • Whole-document cleanup, one page at a time if you like
  • Translation into 37 languages that keeps the layout
  • Every version saved, so nothing is ever lost

Ask it

Questions answered, with the page.

Ask a document anything and get an answer from its text alone, with a link to the page it came from. Or ask across your whole library at once.

  • Answers cite their source page
  • One click opens that page of the original
  • If the answer is not there, it says so

Learn it

Notes become a study set.

Turn a handout or a chapter into flashcards, a practice quiz, a glossary, or a one-page summary. Then study the cards right here, and go over the ones you missed.

  • Made only from what your notes say
  • Flip cards with a keyboard or a tap
  • Each set saved as its own document

Share it

A link worth sending.

Share a clean reading page instead of an attachment. Choose whether it shows this exact version or always the latest, and see how far people read.

  • Link previews that show the real first page
  • Private feedback from readers, straight to you
  • Passwords, expiry, and PDF downloads on Pro

Keep it

Leave with everything.

Export to the format the next person needs. PDFs are tagged for screen readers, and the tables in any document open in Excel with their numbers intact.

  • PDF, Word, Markdown, web page, EPUB, and Excel
  • Exports are free on every plan
  • Download your whole library in one zip, any time

And the rest

The details that make it work.

  • Search inside everything

    Every word of every document, found as you type, with the passage highlighted.

  • Scan with your phone

    Scan a QR code, photograph the pages, and watch them arrive on your computer.

  • Your brand kit

    Your logo, colour, names, header, and footer on every new document.

  • A true print proof

    See the real printed pages, with page numbers and breaks, before you export.

  • Every version kept

    Restore any earlier state, or compare two with the changes marked.

  • Redline comparisons

    A printable PDF of what changed between versions, for review or signing.

  • Redaction

    Remove names, emails, phone and card numbers, from the text and its history.

  • Accessibility check

    Find what a screen reader would trip on, and describe images with AI.

Who it is for

For anyone whose work still starts on paper.

Students

Handouts, slides, and borrowed notes.

Photograph the handout, get clean notes you can search, and turn them into flashcards and a practice quiz before the exam.

Professionals

Contracts, minutes, and reports.

Bring a signed PDF back to life as text, style it in your brand, send a redline, and redact what should not travel.

Researchers and families

Archives, letters, and old books.

Transcribe what is fading, keep the scan beside every page, and ask questions across a whole collection.

Themes

One document, nine ways to wear it.

Switch themes in a click, with a cover page that takes your logo and names. Clarity and Meridian are free; the rest come with Pro.

Your data

Your pages stay yours.

The things you scan are often the things that matter most. We built Lumidoc to treat them that way. Read the privacy policy.

  • Your documents are not training data

    Lumidoc never sells your documents or uses them to train models.

  • Take everything with you

    One click downloads every document, image, and original file you have.

  • Links you control

    Turn a shared link off at any time, and it stops working for everyone at once.

  • Delete means gone

    Deleting your account removes your files, their history, and link previews.
