: Make text readable by reparing a image I have a few pictures that contain some text. What is the best way to fix a low resolution photo, in order to make the text readable? I'm not an advanced

@Turnbaugh909

I used CamScanner in Android to do some 'magic'. This is all i got:



The resolution of your image is like 72 dpi. No OCR software can operate at such low resolution. You need to take a picture with at least 300 dpi resolution in order to do an efficient OCR (optical character recognition). That means you need a 5 Mpix camera.

Can you take a picture again? Or was that picture sent to you by someone else and you can't get another good shot?
Try taking pics of documents using Office Lens
It takes a good quality photo with focus on making the text readable, adjusting the brightness and contrast automatically.

First, save a copy of the image to experiment with. ;)

Then you could try increasing the contrast, carefully.

I can't tell if the one you posted is the actual size of the image. If so, it's pretty bad. But if it's actually larger than this, you might have a chance.
