Google’s PhotoScan App Is Perfect For Backing Up Old Photos


Android/iOS: Google has introduced PhotoScan, a new app that makes scanning and uploading old photos a heck of a lot easier.

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 and contrast. You’ll also get a suite of new filters for one-tap editing. You can snag PhotoScan in your app store of choice right now, and the Google Photos updates are rolling out now as well.

Now your photos look better than ever – even those dusty old prints [Google]
