Have you ever wanted to digitize those nostalgic photos stored in albums and share them on social media or upload them to the cloud for permanent storage?
There are free applications available to support the digitization of printed photos. With these, you can easily scan and digitize your photos. We want to share these small pieces of information that make everyday life more convenient with you.
Google PhotoScan

Google PhotoScan is a service linked with Google Photos, not only backing up scanned photos to your library automatically but also offering this high-performance application for free. The photo scanning process may take some time as you take multiple shots of the photo you want to scan and combine them to save the highest quality data.
When you tap the scan button, four circles appear at the corners, and you hold your smartphone over each one, adjusting the position to take the shots.
Microsoft Lens

Microsoft Lens is a scanning app that can digitize not only photos but also documents and business cards. Microsoft subscription users who use OneDrive as a backup can integrate it with cloud uploads and export functions to Microsoft documents. It's free and easy to use; simply set it to photo mode, align the photo in the viewfinder, and tap the scan button to easily scan photos.
Perfect Preservation as Both Material and Data
Digitize your old photos filled with precious memories and share them with friends and family on social media or store them safely in the cloud. By preserving both the printed material photos and the digital photos, you'll be able to continue reminiscing about those important memories even as time passes.
