What SnapClean does is increase the contrast of the images until you see only the writing / drawing on a white background thereby “˜tidying up’ your image.

The process works in 4 easy steps:

• You obtain a digital picture of the text or image on the whiteboard or napkin.
• You email the image to doodle@snapclean.me
• SnapClean tidies up the image.
• SnapClean emails back the tidied up picture to you.

Features:

• Whiteboard photo cleanup application  (or on other surfaces that are almost white).
• No registrations or downloads are required.
• All you do is email the image to an address.
• The tidied picture is emailed back to you.
• Similar tools: Doodle, Twiddla and WhiteyBoard.
