How to Scan Photos Using Photomyne
We recommend using Photomyne, an easy-to-use mobile app that allows you to scan multiple photos at once using your phone.
Scanning Photos with Photomyne
Download and open the Photomyne app
Install Photomyne from the App Store or Google Play and open the app.
Tap the Scan (camera) button
This opens Photomyne’s built-in scanning camera.
Place your photos on a flat surface
Lay photos on a table or floor with good lighting. You can scan multiple photos at once as long as they don’t overlap.
Capture the scan
Hold your phone steady above the photos. Photomyne will automatically detect and capture them, or prompt you to tap the shutter.
Automatic cropping and enhancement
Photomyne separates each photo, straightens it, and enhances clarity and color automatically.
Review and edit (optional)
You can rotate, recrop, or adjust brightness and color if needed.
Save your photos
Your scanned photos are saved in the app and can be exported to your phone or cloud storage.
Tips for Best Results
Scan in batches of 4–10 photos at a time
Use natural, indirect light to avoid glare
Place photos on a dark background for better edge detection
Make sure photos don’t overlap
How to Add Photos to Remento
Once your photos are digitized, there are two ways to add them to Remento, depending on how you want to use them.
Option 1: Add Photos to a Prompt (to Inspire a New Story)
Photos can be added to prompts to help guide and inspire storytelling.
Use this option if you want a photo to:
Spark a new story
Anchor a prompt to a specific moment, person, or place
Help storytellers recall details more vividly
👉 Learn how this works in Creating a photo prompt
Option 2: Add Photos to an Existing Story
If a story has already been recorded, you can upload photos afterward to visually accompany that memory.
Use this option if you want to:
Add context or imagery to a completed story
Match photos to stories after recording is done
Enhance stories without re-recording them
👉 Learn more in How do I add or remove photos on an existing story?
Which Option Should I Use?
Before recording a story? Add photos to a prompt
After a story is recorded? Upload photos to the existing story
Both approaches help create a more immersive and meaningful Remento experience by pairing voices, stories, and images together.
