PhotoScan is a new scanner app from Google Photos that lets you scan and save your favourite printed photos using your phone’s camera.
Picture perfect and glare-free
Don’t just take a picture of a picture. Create enhanced digital scans, wherever your photos are.
– Get glare-free scans with an easy step-by-step capture flow
– Automatic cropping based on edge detection
– Straight, rectangular scans with perspective correction
– Smart rotation, so your photos stay the right way up, no matter which way you scan them
Scan in seconds
Capture your favourite printed photos quickly and easily, so you can spend less time editing and more time looking at your bad childhood haircut.
Safe and searchable with Google Photos
Back up your scans with the free Google Photos app to keep them safe, searchable, and organised. Bring your scans to life with movies, filters and advanced editing controls. And share them with anyone, just by sending a link.
interesting app. It says it reduces glare, it fails.

Strange ... It isn't compatible with the Nexus 5X running the preview of 7.1.1!
Would have been fairly handy.

good start for google but i found the free microsoft 'office lens' app does a better job. It can do business cards, photos and whiteboards. Heat added

another one that uses Microsoft lens here too. Can't recommend it enough for document scanning. does a far better job than any paid app I've ever tried, and I've tried a fair few of the popular ones. Awesome free app

Have to agree with others - text document ended up blurred, taking a photo was sharper.

Don't see the diff between this and using your own phone with the flash off.

Image processing. Your phone camera is designed to take pictures, not scan photographs.
