QBMFX Guided book page dewarp guide
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.
Before you start
Keep an unchanged copy of the original images. Use a clear file name and check that the selected files belong to this job. A sharp, evenly lit image preserves more usable detail than a heavily blurred or cropped photo.
Work on a device with enough free memory for the job. A small sample is a useful first check, especially on a phone or when the source contains many pages or high-resolution photographs. Keep other large processing tabs closed while generating the result.
Steps and settings
- Choose a clear photograph of the full book page.
- Move the top, middle and bottom guides along matching curved baselines; inspect the corrected preview.
- Create corrected images and review each text line before printing or building a PDF.
Use the settings shown in the workspace for this task. Recheck the file order and measurements before starting. If you change an input or setting after a result is generated, create a fresh output so the downloaded file matches the choices currently displayed.
Workspace settings reference
Named paper includes A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Folio (8.5 × 13 inches) and ISO B5 where paper layout applies. Custom dimensions are millimetres; choose the matching orientation. DPI controls image sampling, not a guarantee of new source detail.
| Setting | Default and options |
|---|---|
| Corrected image format | jpeg, png |
| Image quality (0.1–1) | 0.85 · 0.1–1 |
Processing details
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.
Processing stays on your device, without an account, API subscription or document upload. Book centers, freelancers and developers can use the website free of charge; prepare its resources while online before working offline. The current installed app and extension have a separate release schedule.
Result checks
- Open the actual downloaded result and compare it with the source or entered details.
- Check the first and final pages, ordering, borders and any fine text, numbers or stamps.
- Print a single test sheet before a large job. Choose actual size or 100% when physical measurements matter.
- Keep the original input until the customer or intended reader has accepted the result.
Practical limits
Up to 20 scans, 24 megapixels per image and 96 megapixels combined. This guided vertical mesh cannot solve every three-dimensional page shape or reconstruct blurred or hidden characters.
A PDF edit can invalidate an existing digital signature. Image-based PDF output can remove selectable text, interactive fields and links. Use the original when its editable or interactive features must be preserved.
Offline preparation and app availability
Prepare the website resources from Help while the connection is available and wait for the ready status. Tools that use OCR or a Nastaliq font require an additional optional resource download. HEIC decoding is included in the main website resource pack. Test the required workflow after disabling the connection; browser storage can be cleared or evicted later.
Adding the site to a phone’s Home Screen creates convenient access and does not itself prepare every resource. The existing Microsoft Store app and Edge extension contain the original four PDF tools. This Book Center website tool needs a separate installed-package release before it appears in those apps.

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.
