You probably have photo albums and shoeboxes full of old print photos. If you take care of them, they should last a while, but during a move, house fire or natural disaster they might get lost or destroyed. Plus, if they're sitting in a box or on the shelf, no one else can enjoy them.
That's why so many people spend hours scanning photos into a computer to preserve and share. Unfortunately, scanning is a slow process.
You have to take the photo out of the photobook, put it on a scanner and wait for a while. Once you've scanned it, there's still a lot of work you have to do. You need to crop it, straighten it, color correct and clean up any scanning artifacts.
Now, however, there's a mobile app built to make preserving print photos a snap, literally. It's called Heirloom and you just have to take a picture of a photo and it does the cropping and color correcting automatically. You can even leave photos in their albums, so you don't risk damaging or losing them.
Once the photo is ready, you can upload it to Facebook, Twitter or another site, or upload it to Heirloom's own social network. You can upload as many photos as you want.
Fast, beautiful photo scanning for moments we love. Heirloom enables you to preserve moments from your past and share them privately with friends and family in seconds.
How it works:
1. Scan a photo by holding the phone so that all four corners of the photo are visible on screen.
2. Tap the shutter, and Heirloom automatically does the rest for you.
3. Share your photos and albums with friends and family in Heirloom private groups or post them on social media.
