Photomyne solves a problem every family has: boxes of physical photos slowly degrading. Its app scans, auto-crops, and AI-restores old prints and slides using just your phone camera, batch-processing an entire album in one sitting.

Point your phone at a pile of loose photos or a photo album page and Photomyne's computer vision detects individual photo boundaries, crops and straightens each one automatically, and lets you scan several at once rather than one at a time. AI restoration then repairs fading, scratches, and color loss, colorizes black-and-white photos, and enhances faces and detail. A slide and negative scanner extension handles those formats too, and organized digital albums with dates and locations turn scanning into an actual archive rather than a photo dump.

Who is it for?

Anyone digitizing family photo collections, genealogists preserving historical images, and families wanting to actually finish the "digitize grandma's photos" project instead of abandoning it after twenty scans.

How much does Photomyne cost?

The app is free to download with basic scanning; restoration and unlimited features require a subscription, roughly $40-70 per year depending on plan, with a trial to test restoration quality first.

Our verdict

Batch-scanning multiple photos per shot is the feature that actually gets large collections finished, and the restoration quality holds up well for genuinely old prints. For the shoebox-of-photos project everyone keeps postponing, it removes the biggest excuse.
