Photocopy of a photocopy

  • • Copies of copies add noise and thicken letters, which makes the font harder to identify.
  • • When the font cannot be matched with confidence, the edit is refused instead of guessed.

Questions people ask

+Can I change names on official records?

No. Only change documents you own or may change. Altering official records such as IDs or certificates is fraud.

+What if a word cannot be changed invisibly?

You get the exact reason, such as a stamp in the way or a font that could not be identified, instead of a smudged page.
