Feature

Batch crop scanned photos — one scan in, clean prints out.

Scanning old photos one at a time is the slow way. Lay a whole sheet of prints on your flatbed, scan once, and let CapCrop cut each photo out — straight, labeled, and ready to keep.

Why crop a whole sheet at once?

A flatbed scanner can capture five or six prints in a single pass. Scanning them individually means re-laying, re-previewing, and re-saving for every photo — a shoebox can take a whole winter. The faster path is to scan in batches and split the result into individual photos afterward. That one change turns an afternoon's work into what used to be a season's.

How CapCrop batch-crops your scans

1. Drop in the scan

   Add the flatbed image — a whole sheet of prints, or a scanned album page. No per-photo scanning required.

2. Box each photo

   Draw a box around each picture to lift it out as its own file. Mixed sizes and orientations on the same sheet are fine — each crop keeps its own aspect ratio instead of being squeezed to a uniform frame.

3. Straighten the crooked ones

   Nudge a slider until a tilted photo sits level. Prints taped into an album at a slight angle come out square.

4. Label and sort

   Add captions, tags, and folders so dozens of photos stay organized as you go — not a pile of scan_0481.jpg files to sort later.

5. Export and keep

   Export a tidy zip of your finished photos, named the way you labeled them. They're yours to keep.

More than cropping

Once a photo is cut out, CapCrop can take it the rest of the way:

• Restore faded prints — bring back washed-out color and clear dust and scratches.
• Caption, tag, and date — give each photo a caption, tags, even the decade, so a collection is searchable later.
• Scan color negatives — CapCrop finds the orange film base and inverts it toward natural color. See scanning color negatives on a flatbed.

Your photos stay yours

Cutting, straightening, and sorting all happen without sending your photos to any AI. A picture only reaches an AI partner the moment you tap Auto-tag or Restore — never before — and those partners are contractually barred from training on your content.
