How do I digitize old printed photos with my phone?
Open Relic, turn on Auto and hold your phone over a print on a table. Relic finds the photo's edges, waits until your phone is steady, then captures, crops and straightens it automatically. Swap in the next print and keep going, without pressing a button.
Do I have to press the shutter for every photo?
No. In Auto mode Relic captures each photo by itself as soon as it's detected and your phone is still. You can turn Auto off to take photos manually.
Does Relic straighten and crop photos automatically?
Yes. Relic detects the four corners of the print, removes the table around it and corrects the angle, so tilted photos come out straight and square.
Can it fix faded colours?
Relic can restore the colours of faded prints on new scans, and it keeps the original scan too, so you can always go back.
Does Relic upload my photos?
No. All scanning and processing happens on your phone, and the app works offline. There's no account, no cloud upload, no ads and no tracking. Your scans are saved to your phone's gallery.
Can I organise scans into albums?
Yes. You can sort scans into albums inside Relic, zoom in to check details, and share any photo to other apps.
Is Relic available on iPhone and Android?
Yes, Relic is in early access on both. On Android, install it from Google Play. On iPhone, install the beta through Apple's TestFlight app. The full App Store release is coming soon.
How do I send feedback during early access?
On iPhone, take a screenshot in Relic, tap the preview, tap Share and choose Share Beta Feedback. Or open the TestFlight app, tap Relic and choose Send Beta Feedback. On Android, or for anything else, email [email protected]. Screenshots of photos it missed or cropped badly help most.
How is Relic different from a flatbed scanner?
A flatbed scanner needs each photo placed, scanned and cropped one at a time on a computer. With Relic you use the phone you already have: put a print down, let it capture, and move on to the next, with cropping and straightening done for you.
