All-in-one photo scanning and restoration app in three guided steps.

Gentle tips, reminders, and captions guide every generation so no one feels “too untechnical” to help.

    Gather & scan

    Follow calm prompts or the phone scanning guide to capture prints, slides, and albums with even lighting.

  2. 02

    Make them shine

    One tap clears glare, revives colour, and smooths scratches—no bulky editor or jargon.

  3. 03

    Share the story

    Add captions, dates, and audio memories to a private family timeline everyone can revisit.

FAQ

Common questions about scanning and restoration

What DPI should I scan photos at?
For 4×6 prints, 600 DPI balances quality and file size. Use 1200 DPI for small originals or heavy crops.
Do I need a flatbed scanner?
No. Your iPhone or Android plus steady lighting is enough. A flatbed only helps with delicate or curled items.
Can you fix fading and scratches?
Yes. One tap brightens colours, clears glare, and softens scratches while keeping faces natural.
Is my family archive private?
Yes. Your timeline stays private, invite-only, and you can revoke access anytime.
How much does it cost?
Simple plans with a free trial are listed on the pricing page. Start restoring before you pay.
How is this different from apps like Photomyne or Remini?
Unlike Photomyne or Remini, PhotoScanRestore combines phone-based scanning, AI restoration, and private family sharing in one app instead of separate tools for each step.
