Digitize old photo prints — and keep every original safe.
The pile on the kitchen table becomes a private family collection. Scan each print with the iPhone app and it is saved untouched before anything else happens — then restore and organize only the photos that matter.
Scan
Use the phone camera you already own
Saved
Every original kept untouched
Chosen
Credits only for photos you restore
Scan or upload
Scan prints with the iPhone app — each one saved untouched to your private collection — or upload files from any camera or scanner.
Restore the keepers
Choose the photos worth real care. Restoration rebalances color and repairs scratches and wear while preserving the original feel.
Keep both versions
The untouched original stays beside the restored copy. Download full-quality files and share with family when you’re ready.
Digitize with any smartphone. Restore only the keepers.
Got boxes of prints from your parents’ loft? A simple table setup and the phone camera you already own are enough. Every scan is saved as it is — restoration is a separate, deliberate choice for the photos that carry the story.
