A word to describe the contour of a sheet of paper [on hold]
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm looking for a word to describe the outline of a paper document.
For instance in the sentence :
The software will detect the edges of the receipt over the dark background.
I have multiple synonyms that come to mind but I don't know which one would be the more appropriate and not too technical.
Potential synonyms:
- Shape
- Contour
- Edges
- Outline
- Frame
I feel like all of these could be correct but maybe depending on the context or the audience.
What would you recommend?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Your first sentence says "I'm looking for a word to describe the outline of a paper document." If that is an accurate description of the situation then you've already used the word that is right for you. If not, what is wrong with 'outline'?

I think you’re too focused on how the software does what it does. To the average user, “the software can recognize the receipt against a dark background.”

@Mitch I wasn't sure this was the accurate word even though it conveys the idea (English isn't my first language).
