How Do I Scan Photos in Bulk With My Phone on Photomyne?

1. Get your photos ready

  • Lay several printed photos on a flat, solid-colored surface.
  • Leave a little space between each one — no touching or overlapping.
  • Remove shiny sleeves or album plastic to avoid glare.

2. Set the scene with good lighting

Good lighting = great scans.

  • Natural light (like near a window) works best.
  • Avoid harsh lamps or direct sunlight.
  • Check that no shadows fall from your hands or your phone.

3. Open the scanner

Let’s get scanning:

  • Open the Photomyne app.
  • Tap Scan New Album or enter an existing album and tap Scan.
  • Hold your phone steady over all the photos — like you’re taking a group picture.

4. Capture all photos in one go

Now the fun part:

  • Make sure all photos fit in your camera view.
  • Hold your phone parallel to the surface (straight above, not tilted).
  • Tap the Capture button.
  • The app will automatically crop and save each photo separately — no extra work needed.

5. Check your results

Once your scans are in the album:

  • Tap each photo to review it.
  • If one looks off or cropped strangely, use the Edit icon to manually adjust the crop.

Note: If a photo was scanned but is missing from the album, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the album screen and select Edit original scan shots. There, you can view all original scans and tap a missed photo to crop it.


6. Tips for picture-perfect scans

A few handy tricks:

  • Adjust your distance to fill the frame while keeping the image in focus.
  • If you see glare, tilt the phone slightly or adjust your angle.
  • Use a surface that contrasts with your photos.
  • Flatten curled edges for clearer detection.
