Although now we only require a phone with a good camera to photograph our trips and family gatherings, this was not always the case. Therefore, it is normal that at home we have an old drawer where we keep those physical photos of our childhood or when our parents and grandparents were young. If you want to digitize them or share them on any of your social networks, here we detail how you can scan them.
To solve this problem, Google has an application that most users are unaware of. Is about PhotoScan which is designed to scan all those old photos that we have in some places in the house.
Although in the play store either app store We have several apps that allow us to scan photos, the Google option works properly on iOS and Android. The only requirement to use it is that we also have installed Google Photos.

How to scan and digitize old photos with my phone?
FotoScan is not a normal photo camera, but a tool for digitizing photos. When clicking on the option to take pictures, what it will do is analyze it and display it on the screen. After being processed, it is saved in the gallery of your mobile. In this way, you must do the following:
- Go to Library > Utilities > Scan Photos Using photo scan
- To start the scan, hold your phone directly over a photo. Press the button to take a photo that will be automatically saved to your device.
- Move the phone to bring the circle over each of the 4 points.
- When the photo has been processed, go to the bottom right corner and tap on the photo thumbnail.
- Select a photo to rotate it, adjust the corners, or delete it.
Likewise, you should also take into account that the phone does not have to be tilted during the scan and that to better frame the photo, it is best to place it on a flat surface with contrast.
