Why do scanned photos have moire patterns?

When you scan a printed photo, the scanner captures the tiny dot pattern used in printing. These printing dots interact with the scanner's own sampling grid, creating visible moire interference — wavy lines, color bands, or mesh-like patterns that weren't in the original image. This happens with all types of printed photos, from glossy prints to book illustrations.

Can I fix moire in photos I scanned from a book?

Yes! Book illustrations, textbook diagrams, and photos printed in books are among the most common sources of scan moire. Our AI is trained to handle these patterns and produce clean digital versions of the original images.

What scanner settings help reduce moire before scanning?

Scanning at a higher resolution (300-600 DPI) can help, and some scanners have a built-in moire reduction option. Slightly rotating the printed photo on the scanner bed (1-2 degrees) can also reduce interference. However, even with optimal settings, moire often still appears. Our AI tool removes any remaining moire after scanning, giving you the cleanest possible result.

How is this different from the general moire remover?

This tool is specifically optimized for scanned printed images — photos, book pages, posters, and other printed materials that were digitized with a scanner. For general moire from any source, try our AI Moire Remover . For screen photography specifically, use the Screen Moire Remover .

Will removing moire affect the text in my scanned pages?

No. Our AI distinguishes between photo content, text, and moire interference. Text areas remain sharp and readable after processing, while moire patterns in the image areas are removed cleanly.

Can I use this for old or damaged photo scans?

Absolutely. This tool works great as the first step in photo restoration. Remove the moire artifacts from your scanned photo first, then proceed with color correction, scratch removal, or other restoration work for the best final result.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

You can upload scanned images in JPG, PNG, and WebP formats up to 50MB. The processed result can be downloaded in the same high-quality format. For best results, upload the highest resolution scan you have available.

How long does it take to process a scanned photo?

Most scanned photos are processed in 10-30 seconds depending on image size and selected output resolution. You can also batch-process multiple scanned images simultaneously to save time when digitizing a large photo collection.
