Old Photo Scanner

Hover your iPhone over a printed photo and it scans itself - auto-detect, auto-capture, auto-crop. Everything stays on your device.

Old Photo Scanner turns your iPhone into a fast, hands-free scanner for printed photos. Hover over a photo and it is detected, captured, and cropped automatically - no shutter button. Slide the next print in and keep going.

SCAN WITHOUT TAPPING

• Automatic detection, capture, and cropping - a stability ring shows exactly when the shot fires
• Full-resolution photos from the camera, never video frames
• Smart re-arm prevents duplicate captures, so you can scan a whole stack of prints in one continuous session
• Live glare hint helps you tilt away from reflections on glossy prints

FAITHFUL TO THE PRINT

• Perspective-corrected and deskewed, with only a mild white-balance correction
• Sepia stays sepia - the lighting is corrected, never the print itself
• Saved as high-quality HEIC

ALBUMS INSTEAD OF A PILE

• Every scan lands in a named collection you can come back to, with an All grid of everything you have scanned
• Photos from the same scene sit together, so a stack sorts itself as you go
• Add photos already on your phone by picking them, without rescanning what you have digitized

KEEP THE STORY, NOT JUST THE PHOTO

• Record a voice or video note about a single print
• Or narrate a whole album while you page through it, and every print keeps the part about itself
• Write a caption in your own words, by typing or dictation
• Dates printed in the border are read and filled in for you

REVIEW AND FIX

• Swipe between prints full screen, pinch to zoom, drag down to close
• Re-crop with draggable corner handles and a magnifier loupe, rotate, or delete
• Originals are kept until you finish, so any crop can be redone

IMPORT TO PHOTOS

• Batch-import a collection into your photo library, into a named album under Scanned Photos
• Export your whole library as a single file to keep a backup or move it to another iPhone
• Interrupted sessions are restored automatically on next launch

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• 100% on-device processing, with no network access - nothing you scan ever leaves your phone
• The app asks only to add scans and to create the album they go into; it never browses your library
• Photos you bring in come only from the ones you pick in the system picker
