Old Photo Scanner

Prints in.
Photos out.

Hover your iPhone over a printed photo. Old Photo Scanner detects the edges, captures a full-resolution still, and crops it for you - then you slide the next print in and keep going.

Lifetime unlock sheet for unlimited Photos imports

Scan free. Unlock unlimited imports.

Hands free rhythm

Hover, capture, slide, repeat.

No shutter button. The app watches for a stable print under the lens, locks on, and takes a full-resolution still. Pull that print away, slide the next one in, and the cooldown waits for a real swap so you never double-capture the same shot.

Faithful capture

The scan looks like the print.

Perspective corrected

Edges deskewed so the photo sits square, even when you hold the phone at an angle.

Full-resolution stills

Every scan is a real photo capture - not a video frame grab.

Gentle cleanup only

Mild white-balance normalization. No heavy filters, no fake restoration.

Review before you commit

Fix edges. Flag glare. Then import.

Scans stack in a session tray. Open any one to re-crop, reset to the detected edges, or filter the ones that need a second look. When you are ready, batch-add them to a Photo Scans album in Apple Photos.

Private by design

Everything stays on your iPhone.

No account

Open the app and scan. There is nothing to sign in to.

Add-only Photos access

We only ever ask to add images. The app cannot see, open, or delete anything already in your library.

No cloud pipeline

Detection, crop, and storage all run on device. Nothing is uploaded to us.

Fair free tier

Scan free. Import generously.

Capturing and reviewing never cost anything. Free users get 20 successful Photos imports each local day - enough for a normal shoe-box session. Hit the wall and a one-time unlock removes the daily limit forever.

Your shoe box, digitized.
