Old Photo Scanner

Prints in.
Photos out.

Hover your iPhone over a printed photo. Old Photo Scanner finds the edges, waits for your hand to steady, and captures a full-resolution still - then you slide the next print in and keep going.

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. A shoebox goes by in an afternoon.

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.

The part no scanner can capture

Keep the voice that knows who they are.

Hold record and talk through the stack while you look at it - who is in it, where it was, what happened next. Each recording is kept with the print it belongs to, and travels with it when you export. The photo survives on its own. The story only survives if somebody says it out loud.

Private by design

No account. No cloud. No one watching.

There is no server to send a photo to. Detection, correction, dictation and storage all run on your iPhone.

No sign-up

No email, no password. Open the app and start scanning.

No upload

Your family photos never leave the phone.

No tracking

No analytics, no ad identifiers, no crash reporters.

No ads

Not in the free version. Not anywhere.

Add-only Photos access

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

On-device dictation

Album names and captions you speak are recognised on the phone.

Fair free tier

Twenty a day, free for good.

No trial clock, no account, no card. Scanning, cropping and recording are never counted - the only daily limit is on saving into Photos, and it resets every morning.

20 photos into Photos a day

Enough for a normal shoebox sitting, every day, for as long as you own the phone.

No subscription

One optional unlock, paid once, if you ever want the daily limit gone.

No watermark

Free scans are full resolution and unmarked.

Yours forever

Your photos. Yours for good.

Nothing is held back, and nothing is held hostage.

In your own Photos library

Not locked in our app - in the library you already back up.

Made on your iPhone

Detection and correction run on the device. No signal needed.

Take the whole library out

Export every photo with its caption and its recordings.

Uninstall, keep the photos

They stay in Photos, exactly where you put them.

Your shoebox, in your own hands.
