Google has just introduced PhotoScan, a new app that makes scanning and uploading old photos a lot easier. It is available for both the IPhone and Android.
PhotoScan is not just a photo of a photo. You’ll snap several shots on a picture, then PhotoScan automatically detects and removes the edges, straightens the image, and removes any glare before turning it into a high resolution file. If you’re using Google Photos, your scans are automatically uploaded to Google Photos.
Speaking of Google Photos, updates to the mobile apps are rolling out there as well. This includes advanced editing tools, like the ability to adjust exposure, contrast, and more. You’ll also get a suite of new filters for one-tap editing.
I just downloaded and used PhotoScan and, so far, after using it briefly, it does a wonderful job of scanning my old photos. I think it would be well worth a try.
