What Scanalbum does
Built specifically for old photo albums.
AI photo detectionFinds and crops every individual photo from a photographed album page or spread, straightened and ready to view.
Dates read automaticallyHandwritten captions and years are read from the page. An undated page inherits the date from the last page that had one β photograph pages in order and dates carry forward correctly.
Chronological by defaultEvery photo lands in date order automatically, oldest to newest, with the original page a click away.
Originals always keptThe full, unedited photo of every album page is preserved β nothing is discarded, only copied and cropped.
Correct file dates, not just on-screenWhen we crop a photo, we write the real date into the image file itself β so it sorts correctly if you later download it or import it into Google Photos.
Share with a private linkOne link for the whole family. Add an email-code check for extra privacy so the link can't be casually forwarded.

View sample albumHow good does my phone need to be?
Any phone from the last several years is fine. Even lighting matters more than camera quality β our AI does the rest.
Can I photograph several photos at once?
Yes β that's the point. Photograph a whole album page or spread, and each mounted photo on it is found and cropped out individually.
Are original album pages kept?
Always. The full, unedited photo of every page is preserved and stays a click away from the photos cropped from it.
Can family members comment?
Yes β they register a first name, last name, and email once, and can then comment on any photo. You decide whether they can also edit captions and dates.
Can I download everything later?
Yes, any time on Pro or Premium β every original page and every cropped photo, as a single download.
