Tips for better results

  1. Tip 01

    Smaller cells show more detail but make the characters tiny; larger cells read more clearly as text.

  2. Tip 02

    Light ink on a dark paper colour resembles a green-screen terminal.

  3. Tip 03

    Start from a high-contrast photo for a clear result.
