Is there a more convenient way to do it? Thanks to Android and iPhone apps, we can digitize physical copies of our photos with just a snap. I did a little research on which apps to use. Below are my 3 favourite apps to use (not in any order of merit).<\/p>\n<h3>1. PhotoScan by Google Photos<\/h3>\n<p>This app is pretty easy to use. It takes multiple shots of a photo which would cause the glare to be automatically removed from the photo. Glare-free photo guys! It automatically detects the edges but sometimes I need to manually adjust it to my liking. The down side to it would be that I can&#8217;t scan multiple photos at a time.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9716\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/taking-picture.png?resize=214%2C381\" alt=\"Taking the picture\" width=\"214\" height=\"381\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9714\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/follow-the-circles.png?resize=214%2C380\" alt=\"Follow the circles\" width=\"214\" height=\"380\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\">&nbsp;<img data-attachment-id=\"9712\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/adjust-the-crop\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?fit=1080%2C1920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Adjust the crop\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?fit=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?fit=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9712\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?resize=214%2C381\" alt=\"Manually adjust the crop\" width=\"214\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.printforfun.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/adjust-the-crop.png?resize=562%2C999&amp;ssl=1 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9717\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/after-scanning.jpg?resize=645%2C430\" alt=\"After scanning\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Available for free on: <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photos.scanner&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/photoscan-scanner-by-google-photos\/id1165525994?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Photo Scanner by Photomyne<\/h3>\n<p>If you have tons and tons of physical photos lying around and you want to digitize them, this app will be a great app for you! This app can scan multiple photos at one time. Plus, you could also add details to the album of the photo i.e. location, date, etc.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9719\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/camera_photomyne.png?resize=196%2C348\" alt=\"Multiple photo\" width=\"196\" height=\"348\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9718\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/after-scanning.png?resize=195%2C347\" alt=\"After scanning\" width=\"195\" height=\"347\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9720\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/description-of-photo.png?resize=196%2C364\" alt=\"Description of photo\" width=\"196\" height=\"364\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I would say the only downside to this app will be that it sometimes does not detect the photo edges very well. So it is inconsistent for that. It is a small matter. You can just adjust it manually. Another cool thing about this app is that you use filters for your photos.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9723\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/manually-adjust.png?resize=292%2C513\" alt=\"Manually adjust\" width=\"292\" height=\"513\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9721\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/filters.png?resize=293%2C505\" alt=\"Filters\" width=\"293\" height=\"505\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Available for free only on&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.photomyne&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/sg\/app\/photo-scanner-lite\/id1037784828?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note: For iOS, the free app is a lite version. For both android and iOS app, there are in-app purchases.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Quisque<\/h3>\n<p>This is also another good app that I found. However, it was not like the photoscan app where it detects the photo edges automatically. So I had to manually adjust the crop marks.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-9724 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/crop-marks.png?resize=283%2C972\" alt=\"Crop marks\" width=\"283\" height=\"972\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, the plus point of this app will be its filters and photo editor tool. So you can edit your photos any way you wish after scanning.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9725\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/filters_quisque.png?resize=324%2C544\" alt=\"Filters_quisque\" width=\"324\" height=\"544\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9726\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/photo-editor.png?resize=325%2C573\" alt=\"Photo editor tool\" width=\"325\" height=\"573\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Available only on: <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.quisque&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it guys! Try it for yourself! Save some old pictures and swipe through them on the go. You can even reprint them into another size!
