QUICK STARTHow to use (3 steps)

  1. Open your scans — Open image or Open folder.
  2. Find photos — a blue box appears on every photo.
  3. Save — pick a name and format (PNG recommended, TIF, JPG): name_01.png, name_02.png … By default 1:1 original size and the scan dpi.
Main window

If a box is off, drag its corners; draw a new box in an empty area for a missed photo. Delete removes the selected box, the lock icon locks it, Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y undo and redo. Your corrections are remembered in a small file next to the scan (name.rects.json); the scan itself is never changed.

Tips: leave a little gap between photos, close the lid flat and scan at 300 dpi or more.

BATCHBatch

In Batch add files or folders (drag and drop works), choose the output folder and format and press Start: several pages are processed at the same time. You can stop at any time and finished pages are skipped. The output folder gets a batch_report.csv with status, photo count, time and review reason per page; fix only the "needs review" pages and start again to save just those again.

SETTINGSPreferences

Preferences window
  • Display — language (한국어, English, 中文, 日本語, Español), light/dark theme, icons, your own theme (edit the colours of a theme file).
  • Detection — automatic retry (on by default), same-size layout.
  • Saving — enhancement (off/auto/always), turn upright by faces, size and resolution (dpi).
  • Batch — parallel pages, include subfolders, separate folder per scan.

Enhancement and turning upright by faces are both off by default. The status bar shows a progress bar and the current step.

FAQFAQ

A photo was not found.

Drag around it in an empty area to draw a box, then fit the corners. If it happens often, leave more gap between photos when scanning.

The saved photo is smaller than the scan.

Check Preferences → Saving → Size is Original size (1:1).

Why does batch skip a page?

The page is already done or is open in the editor. Turn on "Process finished pages again" or close it in the editor.

Is "review" an error?

No. It only means the result looks unusual; open it and check.

Does it change my scans?

Never. It only reads them.

It says the file was changed and will not start.

The program files were modified or the protection was removed. Reinstall the program.

I used all 1,000 pages.

Saving stops but detecting and editing still work. Enter the activation code of a new license to replace it.
