Guided book page dewarp

Correct visible vertical curvature in a photographed book page using a manual three-row mesh. Follow the curved printed baselines or page boundaries with the guide handles, compare the corrected preview and adjust each scan individually. This guided transformation helps prepare flatter reading copies while keeping the source photograph for comparison and manual checking before printing.

    File preview

    Use previews to review files; drag cards or use arrows to set their order.

    Guided curved-page correction

    Place the three curves along the top and bottom page boundaries and one matching middle text baseline. Drag the 15 handles vertically, or edit their percentages below. The outer guides crop to the selected boundaries; leave space above and below the writing. Output straightens these curves; keep every line in reading order and inspect the result manually.

    This manual vertical mesh corrects guided curvature, not every three-dimensional book shape. It cannot reconstruct hidden, clipped or blurred characters. Different scans retain their own guides.

    QUICK GUIDE

    Using Guided book page dewarp

    1. Choose a clear photograph of the full book page.
    2. Move the top, middle and bottom guides along matching curved baselines; inspect the corrected preview.
    3. Create corrected images and review each text line before printing or building a PDF.

    Behind the result

    The output samples source pixels through a piecewise bilinear mesh. Curved source guide rows map to straight output rows, with interpolation between the rows and five columns. Identity guides leave geometry unchanged; stronger correction can distort areas where guides do not follow the actual page.

    Free tools for everyday work

    Book centers, photocopy shops, freelancers and developers can use this workspace without a paid plan or account. Files are processed locally. Prepare website resources from offline setup before disconnecting; Urdu/OCR also needs the separate pack above.

    The Windows app currently includes the original four tools. The expanded tools are available on the website; app and extension updates will be separate releases.

    Answers and practical details

    Manual verification

    Always inspect line order, letters near the binding and page edges. Perspective correction straightens flat quadrilaterals; book dewarp addresses guided curvature and cannot restore content hidden in the gutter.

    Price and account requirements

    This website tool is 100% free. No login, subscription or paid conversion tier is required. Your device supplies the processing memory.

    Optional cloud imports

    Google Drive and Dropbox are optional online imports. They require provider sign-in and configuration, have provider quotas and offer cancellation. Local Choose files works without sign-in. Imported file bytes download directly to your browser for local processing.

    Files and privacy

    Input documents and generated results are handled locally. They are not sent to a QBMFX conversion API or stored in a customer database. Website hosting and advertising can still make separate network requests.

    Offline preparation

    Prepare the website resources from Help while connected, then test the required tool offline. OCR and Urdu text tools also need their optional language or font resources prepared first. Browser storage can be removed by the browser or by you.

    Windows app and Edge extension

    The existing installed app and extension contain the original four PDF tools. These new Book Center tools belong to the website release; they will need a separate installed-package update.
