That one website that makes a PDF look like it was printed and scanned

Why it's the pick

Look Scanned adds paper texture, a slight tilt and scanner noise to a PDF, Word file or image, for when a form insists on a "scanned" copy and you do not own a printer. Standard scans are free with no signup and run in your browser, so the file stays on your device; Pro adds bulk scanning and an API.
