## What it is
Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages, performing operations like page splitting, deskewing, border adjustment, and content selection. It turns raw scans into pages ready for printing or assembly into PDF or DJVU files.

## Use cases
- clean up scanned book pages before making a pdf
- deskew and split scanned two-page spreads
- remove borders and margins from raw scans
- prepare scanned pages for printing or djvu assembly
- post-process book scans for internet archive uploads

## When to choose
- you have raw page scans that need deskewing, splitting, and cleanup before OCR or PDF assembly
- you digitize books and want print-ready or archive-ready page images

## When to avoid
- you need OCR, scanning, or multi-page PDF assembly - those are out of scope
- you want actively maintained software with recent fixes
