Comparison

CapCrop vs. Photomyne

Photomyne is a live, mobile-first app for digitizing photos with your phone camera. CapCrop is built around scanning a sheet of prints on a flatbed instead. They overlap on the core job — splitting several photos out of one capture — but the rest of the approach diverges. Here's an honest look, features and pricing as we understand them today.

Phone camera vs. flatbed

Photomyne's whole workflow starts with your phone: point it at an album page and it detects and crops each photo from the shot in seconds, no scanner needed. That's genuinely fast for a casual pass through an album. CapCrop assumes a flatbed scan instead, which takes longer per batch but captures more detail and avoids the glare and perspective distortion a phone photo of a photo is prone to — worth it for prints you actually plan to keep, restore, or print again, less so for a quick share.

Where Photomyne wins

It's live, it's mobile, and it's fast for a casual album session — point your phone, get several cropped photos back in seconds, restore the standouts, and share an album link. If your prints aren't precious enough to warrant a flatbed pass, that speed is a real advantage.

Where CapCrop fits better

CapCrop leans into the photos worth doing properly: a flatbed scan for detail, manual control over odd crops and negatives, and an AI policy that's stricter by construction — AI only touches a photo when you ask, and never trains on your library. See why we don't train AI on your photos for the details. The trade-off is honest, though: CapCrop is still in private beta, so if you need something working today, Photomyne is the one that's shipped.
