Google’s PhotoScan App Updated with Auto Backup to Google Photos

PhotoScan, which launched back in October of 2016, is a handy little tool from Google that lets you convert your old, printed photos into high-quality digital copies using your phone’s camera. It’s not the most original idea — there are plenty of photo-scanning applications in the Google Play Store — but PhotoScan claims to deliver better results by leveraging Google’s artificial intelligence expertise. The app uses a custom algorithm developed by Google that automatically detects edges, straightens images, and eliminates glare.

It’s been a while since PhotoScan received its last update — version 1.4, which hit the Play Store in April,  brought in-app sharing functionality and the ability o turn off the glare-reduction feature. But that changed this week with the rollout of PhotoScan version 1.5, which brings some useful additions to the application.

The v.1.5 update makes it easier to capture and save printed photos, first and foremost. Previously, the process of saving scans was a bit unintuitive — you had to manually select the scanned photos you wanted to keep and then choose a destination in Google Photos. But that’s no longer — now, the app now automatically backs up scanned photos to your Google Photos library. The update also brings improvements to automatic cropping and adds the ability to drag and adjust the auto-detected free-form edges of around the image.

The newest version of PhotoScan is live in the Google Play Store. .
