Better than an ordinary camera snapshot

Perspective correction turns an angled capture into a rectangular scan. Glare-free capture helps with glossy prints, while manual exposure and crop controls keep the original under your control.

Built for private family photographs

Photos are processed on EU infrastructure, are never used to train AI and are automatically removed from temporary cloud storage. Keep original scans with every edited result.
