Transform any pdf to a real scan

A Go CLI (or WebAssembly in your browser) that makes any PDF look like it was physically scanned from a printed copy, complete with graininess!

A Go CLI/WASM(in your browser) tool that adds some degrading filters to all pages of a pdf file: small rotation, grayscale, warm paper color, scanner noise, shadows on the edges, jpeg compression. It will produce a pdf file that looks exactly like if you had printed it and scanned it back. You can also compile it to WASM and use it in your browser, so no installation needed!

Why a vibe-coder should care

When you need to send a physical copy of a document but you only have the digital one. No need to print it! Great for important documents or contracts where you can’t trust the goodwill of someone sending you a beautifully crafted pdf file.
