What's New

Updated2023-07-24

The app (v1.7.1) has transitioned from a simple capture tool to a more precise scanner by introducing edge-dragging for cropping and immediate local saving. These updates significantly enhance the user's ability to digitize large physical archives with higher accuracy and better offline reliability.

1

Glare-Free Digital Scans

Utilizes a multi-shot capture flow to eliminate reflections and glare from glossy prints. This allows users to digitize photos under any lighting condition without the common white spots caused by camera flashes or ambient light.

2

Granular Edge Adjustment

Building on automatic edge detection, users can now drag both edges and corners to refine the scan boundaries. This provides greater precision for photos with irregular borders or those placed on complex backgrounds.

3

Instant Local Storage

Recent updates ensure that scanned photos are saved directly to the device's local gallery at the moment of capture. This facilitates immediate offline access and usage in other mobile applications without requiring a cloud sync.

4

Perspective and Rotation Correction

Automatically straightens scans to produce rectangular images regardless of the angle they were shot at. Smart rotation detection also ensures that all digital copies are oriented correctly (right-side-up) automatically.

5

Google Photos Ecosystem Integration

Seamlessly backs up scans to Google Photos for cloud security and advanced organization. Users can instantly turn their scanned physical memories into movies, apply smart filters, and share them via secure links.
