How to Fix Crooked Scanned Images Using Pixlr

November 21, 2011

Chances are you’ve scanned a document or a photo only to find that the text contained therein or the photo image is not displayed correctly; a crooked scanned image or document is definitely not a pretty sight, and is certainly not worth emailing to or sharing with others. Adobe Photoshop may be an awesome tool to help you resolve the problem of crooked scanned images, but I’m not sure everyone has access to the application. For those of you who don’t, here’s a tutorial on how to fix crooked scanned images using Pixlr Editor.

Pixlr Editor is a popular online photo editor which is perfect for non-professional users who need to edit web images that are shared on social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and Photobucket among others.

How to Fix Crooked Scanned Images for Free

1. Go to Pixlr Editor.

2. Open the image that needs to be fixed. I’m uploading an image from my PC, so I’ll select Open image from computer.
