Color-preserving cleanup
Remove handwriting without losing document color
Use color-aware AI cleanup when paper color, highlights, colored diagrams, stamps, or printed marks should stay close to the original.
Direct answer
Use Color mode when the document should not become a flat black-and-white cleanup. It is intended for scans with colored paper, highlighter, colored printing, diagrams, stamps, or worksheets where visual context matters. Standard is faster for plain documents, while Ultra is better for the hardest dense handwriting cases.
