What ScanQuik is
ScanQuik is an iPhone and iPad app for digitizing printed photographs. It detects each photo’s edges, scans and crops it, and lets you adjust the corners manually before saving. Scans go directly to Apple iCloud Photos or the Camera Roll in the native Photos library. You can attach time and location metadata so an image appears in the library as if it came from that earlier place and time. An editing extension in Photos changes the time and location of selected photos or videos, while favorite locations and a map support metadata editing. The App Store listing supports HEIC and the P3 color space, and its version history says photo negatives can be scanned. The app requires iOS 12.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 12.0 or later on iPad. A 3-day trial is free, and the Full Version costs 8.99 USD once.
