Description
Google Photos Photo Scanner is an advanced scanning app that you can use for free. Scanning and taking photographs will give very different results. Your phone cannot scan images, but with the Google Photos Photo Scanner app, you can create images that look like they were scanned.
The app doesn't just manipulate the snapshots and turn them into scanned images, it applies its sophisticated software before snapshot during and after snapshot. As a result, the photo image looks like a scanned image.
Very little loss in image quality
The problem with most scanning applications is that you lose a lot of image quality. Cameras are not designed to produce high-quality images, which is why scanners were invented.
They didn't need to be invented if Google Photos' Photo Scanner existed in the olden days. The application also allows you to cut and crop the image while it is being captured, this will not affect the image quality after the scan (photo) is taken.
This app's ingenious approach to frame-to-scan conversion is the reason it works so well and the reason it outperforms competitor apps out of sight. Google Photos' Photo Scanner isn't easy to use, but if you follow the instructions exactly, you'll create fantastic scans.

Reviews for PhotoScan by Google Photos
I love how easy this app is and the fact that you are able to leave photos in their albums and it takes care of any glare for you in the scanned image! I have thousands of photos to scan, I'm not removing them all from their albums.... The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there are other apps where you can scan multiple photos in one shot, so I know the technology is out there. If this app upgraded and took advantage of that feature, I would change my rating to 5 stars immediately!
I wanted to like this app but it's just not good. The issues are that the automatic edge detection doesn't work ever. You have to manually correct each photo. They don't tell you that lighting matters a lot as this app doesn't do white balance correction and a low light photo will ghost. Finally, even in good light and following all directions and manually correcting the corners, the resolution is still extremely low. The scanned photos lack detail and the image file is tiny. Your almost better off doing a panorama photo and cropping it out in Snapseed.
does not put in gallery or upload to google photos i have to go into file system to get photos - actually it does, but it keeps the old photos, filling up your phone when you thought you'd dumped them. If you labeled the internal gallery as "originals" or "backups" or something that gave a clue, that would solve a lot of problems. And the circles thing, well not too successful, but without it the scan is fine.
This app is a really cool concept but it's buggy. Most of the photos I scan are rotated sideways even though I took the pictures the right way. Sometimes the dots get skewed and/or move as I'm taking the photos causing the final result to be warped. Sometimes I can try again and it works but a couple of times I couldn't get a good photo at all.
The original version worked beautifully, position the camera above the photo, tap each corner to give the app reference points, perfect every time. The current version is nearly unusable, you have to move the camera around to align the circle in four dots to give reference points. Sounds simple but the execution is horrible, every pic is now skewed and requires correction after taking the shot. Learn to leave 'good' products alone, fix your apps that aren't good.
I like this app a lot. It is easy to use and works well for getting a virtually glare-free, copy of the subject. I use it mostly for scanning instructional docs, floorplan, & diagrams so legibility is important and this app is fat better at obtaining my goal than others I have found. I just wish it had more sharing options, the ability to save the files where you choose, and a panoramic mode.
Super-easy to use. One suggestion. While the program is stiching together the four images together, a huge improvement would be to even out the brightness - as is already done with the latest version of Google's panoramic photo stitching (which, by the way, is fantastic and no longer even needs individual photos – it is one continuous sweeping movement now, guided by little on-screen circles to help the user keep the sweep smooth and aligned).
Great app when it comes.to.recaliming.old photos. I am currently using it to gather parents' albums so we can have them of anything was to happen to them. Also tested against a variety high gloss pictures with my Note9 Of course, it is not perfect; in which there would be slight smudging around hair and blending colors. I felt the app is user friendly with quick cropping (framing) tool. If you would like to truly edit the photo, I used Google Photos and Samsung photo editor to spruce it up.
I was able to get avoid getting glare in the scan by using PhotoScan, so that was nice. However, I needed to take a photo of my passport for some documents, and this app added some white space and text at the bottom of my file. Obviously I couldn't use that, so I had to edit the file and get rid of that. I wish this app hadn't added extra things to the file.
Scan on your mobile device to download the app.
