Do you need to scan old paper photos? Use your smartphone. It has a great camera, and we’ll suggest a couple of great apps to choose from. You’ll also need a well-lighted place and a steady hand. Music in the background might be nice, too \ud83d\ude0a!<\/p>\n

Why not scan with Camera app?<\/h3>\n

Couldn’t you easily scan printed photos with an iPhone or iPad? Snap a picture of the printed photo with Camera app. The “scan” will be saved in Camera Roll, and you could crop it with Photos app’s editing tools.<\/p>\n

This would work if you have a handful of photos. But if you have hundreds of photos, scanning them one at a time and cropping each manually could take forever. You need a bit of automation.<\/p>\n

Use a photo scanner app<\/h3>\n

Yes, there’s an app for it (Two apps, actually!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A smart way to scan photos is to use an app like Pic Scanner<\/a> or Pic Scanner Gold<\/a>. With these apps, you can scan 3-4 photos at a time. Using artificial intelligence, the apps instantaneously detect, crop and save the photos. They even remove perspective distortion, and enhance the scans automatically. With just one touch, and blazing fast!<\/p>\n

Pic Scanner was the world’s first app that could do all this: It came out in 2013, when iPhone 4S was considered state-of-the-art! Pic Scanner Gold, introduced in 2016, goes much further. It does everything that Pic Scanner does: scan printed photos, add captions, make albums. Plus, it has a host of advanced features. Such as professional-grade editing tools, the ability to create shareable albums, e-greeting cards and slideshows; and more ways to share or archive photos.<\/p>\n

Below is a 2015 review for our classic app, Pic Scanner<\/a>. The video shows just how easy it is to scan printed photos with your phone. And to compare it with Pic Scanner Gold, visit the apps’ website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
