## Description

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

FREE SCANNING, ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Scanning is free. Import up to 20 scans per day into Photos at no cost, or unlock unlimited imports forever with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
