CamScanner Image HD

Use CamScanner to enhance image clarity and quality. Applies auto-crop then HD super filter to produce a cleaner, sharper image. Optionally removes moire patterns when explicitly requested. Use when the user wants to make an image clearer, sharper, higher quality, or HD. Triggers on "HD image", "enhance image clarity", "make image clearer", "sharpen image", "high definition", "improve image quality", "super filter", or when the user wants to improve the visual quality of a photo or scanned document. Only use demoire mode when the user explicitly mentions removing moire patterns.

Overview

CamScanner provides HD image enhancement: auto-crop followed by super filter processing to produce cleaner, sharper images. Optionally supports demoire mode to remove moire patterns when explicitly requested. The workflow is a 3-step pipeline: upload the image, enhance it, then download the result.

When to Use

• User wants to make an image clearer or sharper
• User wants HD or high-definition image processing
• User wants to enhance image quality of a photo or scanned document
• User wants to apply a super filter to an image
• User explicitly asks to remove moire patterns (use hd_mode=demoire)

Privacy & Data

Important: Privacy & Data Flow Notice

• Third-party service: This skill sends your files to CamScanner's official servers (ai-tools.camscanner.com) for processing.

Supported Modes

hd_mode	Description	When to Use
(empty)	Auto-crop + super filter (default)	General HD enhancement
demoire	Auto-crop + demoire deblur	Only when user explicitly asks for moire removal

Step 1: Upload Image

bash

BASE="https://ai-tools.camscanner.com"

IN_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/upload_file/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary "@/path/to/image.png" | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')

Response:

json

{
  "code": 200,
  "tool": "upload_file",
  "tool_result": {
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "file_id": "file_1741857600_ab12cd34ef56",
      "size": 24576
    }
  }
}

Step 2: HD Enhancement

Default mode (super filter):

bash

OUT_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/image_hd/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"file_id\":\"$IN_FILE_ID\"}" \
  | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')

Demoire mode (only when user explicitly requests moire removal):

bash

OUT_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/image_hd/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"file_id\":\"$IN_FILE_ID\",\"hd_mode\":\"demoire\"}" \
  | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')

Response:

json

{
  "code": 200,
  "tool": "image_hd",
  "tool_result": {
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "file_id": "file_1741857701_9988aabbccdd",
      "target_type": ""
    },
    "metadata": {
      "crop_engine": "cropenhance",
      "hd_engine": "imagefilter"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Download Result

bash

curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/download_file/execute?response_mode=raw" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"file_id\":\"$OUT_FILE_ID\"}" \
  -o /path/to/image_hd.jpg

Critical: The response_mode=raw query parameter is required to get the binary file. Without it, the response is JSON.

Quick Reference: Complete Pipeline

bash

BASE="https://ai-tools.camscanner.com"
INPUT_IMAGE="/path/to/image.png"
OUTPUT_FILE="/path/to/image_hd.jpg"

# Upload
IN_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/upload_file/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary "@$INPUT_IMAGE" | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')

# HD enhance (default: super filter; add "hd_mode":"demoire" only for explicit moire removal)
OUT_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/image_hd/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"file_id\":\"$IN_FILE_ID\"}" \
  | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')

# Download
curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/download_file/execute?response_mode=raw" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"file_id\":\"$OUT_FILE_ID\"}" \
  -o "$OUTPUT_FILE"

Mode Selection Guide

User says	hd_mode parameter
"make it clearer", "HD", "enhance quality"	(omit — default filter)
"sharpen", "super filter", "improve clarity"	(omit — default filter)
"remove moire", "fix moire pattern", "demoire"	"hd_mode": "demoire"

Default to no hd_mode parameter unless the user explicitly mentions moire patterns.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Forgetting response_mode=raw on download	Always append ?response_mode=raw to the download URL
Wrong Content-Type on upload	Upload uses application/octet-stream, not multipart/form-data
Using GET instead of POST	All three endpoints use POST
Setting hd_mode when not requested	Only use "hd_mode": "demoire" when user explicitly asks for moire removal
Wrong output extension	Output is typically JPEG — use .jpg extension

Error Handling

Check each step before proceeding:

bash

# After upload
if [ -z "$IN_FILE_ID" ] || [ "$IN_FILE_ID" = "null" ]; then
  echo "Upload failed"; exit 1
fi

# After enhance
if [ -z "$OUT_FILE_ID" ] || [ "$OUT_FILE_ID" = "null" ]; then
  echo "Enhancement failed"; exit 1
fi
