Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Receipt Scans online?

Open the Receipt Scans preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.

What makes Receipt Scans animated?

Saved keyframes vary Levels, blur opacity, texture scale, and the Paper Cutout seed. Camera Shake and Frame Drop add movement and held frames around the dithered paper image.

How is it different from Receipt?

Receipt includes a text heading and a receipt-style image treatment. Receipt Scans emphasizes changing scan appearance, paper variation, and stepped motion instead of a single composed receipt graphic.

How can I make the photo easier to read?

Reduce the directional blur and texture strength, then adjust Dither gamma. Use a close subject with clear tonal separation; small details can vanish when the image is reduced to two colors.

Can I change the paper edges?

Yes. Paper Cutout controls the paper shape, seed, and edge roughness. Review the full animation after adjusting it, since the saved seed keyframes can produce different edges at different times.
