A skewed document photo becomes a straight, sharp scan after the agent runs ChaoNiu enhancement

Document photo → enhancement → agent workflow

Even a skewed document photo can join your agent workflow.

The agent calls enhance_image to detect edges, straighten and enhance the photo. The clearer result can then be read, summarised or filed by a vision model.

02 / DOCUMENTS ARE THE CORE

Capture a document.
Make it the file you need.

Free scans export with no brand watermark. Start from a clear capture, then produce PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, PNG or TXT; signing, stamping and page tidy-up happen in the same place.

04 / VIDEO SCRIPTS · CREATOR TOOLBOX

Turn spoken video content into a document.

Paste a public video link to extract its spoken script and export it as Word or TXT. AI breaks down the opening, structure and delivery. Links from 1,000+ platforms are supported, subject to successful parsing.

FAQ

What people ask most about free scanning and watermark-free exports

Straight answers about free scanning in ChaoNiu Doc Scanner, the export formats and where you can use it today.

Is there a genuinely free scanner app that exports without a watermark?

Yes. Scanning in ChaoNiu Doc Scanner is free, and the PDFs, Word files and images you export carry no ChaoNiu brand watermark.

How do I scan a paper document to PDF with my phone?

Open ChaoNiu Doc Scanner and photograph the page. It detects the paper edges, straightens a skewed shot and enhances the image, then exports a PDF. You can then organize the pages, add a signature or a stamp, and export the finished file.

Can a scan be converted to Word or Excel?

Yes. After scanning you can export Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX) and TXT, as well as JPG and PNG. Text extraction (OCR) pulls the text out of the image so you can keep editing and searching it.

How do I download it on Android or iPhone? Where can I use it right now?

Not yet, and we would rather say so plainly. The Android build for outside mainland China is still being prepared and the iPhone app is not on the App Store yet, so there is nothing to download from this site today. Developers can already reach the same processing through the open API and the remote MCP server. The availability section on this page is updated the moment a download opens.

Can I sign and stamp a document in the same place?

Yes. Add a handwritten signature and a stamp right after scanning, reorder the pages, then export the finished PDF — no second tool needed.

Can an AI agent call ChaoNiu capabilities?

Yes. There is a REST API and a remote MCP server at https://chaoniudoc.com/mcp. Scan enhancement, PDF tools, audio transcription, video script analysis and image generation can all be called by an agent. Create a key in the app under “Me → Open API”; see the Open API documentation for integration details.
