Timeline Scan
AI finds the real date of your scanned family photo
Scanners stamp every photo with the day you scanned it. Timeline Scan's AI reads timestamps, handwriting on the backs, faces, and era clues to restore each photo's real date. Export to Apple/Google Photos or Immich to restore your timeline.
Last year I scanned 8,000 of my family's photos. The scans looked great, but every photo app sorted them by the only date they had: the day I scanned them. Twenty years of family history collapsed over a few months, with my parents' wedding sitting next to last week's family photos.
Timeline Scan fixes that. Upload your scans and the AI works out when each photo was actually taken, using the same clues a person would:
The orange timestamp old film cameras printed in the corner
Lab stamps and processing dates on the back of the print
Handwriting on the back ("Christmas 96", names, places)
The people in the photo and how old they look
Era clues in the scene: decor, clothing, the film stock itself
File names, folder names, and the photos scanned around it
It writes the recovered date into each file's metadata (your pictures are never altered, we only fix the date), so your collection snaps into chronological order in Apple Photos, Google Photos, Immich, or plain folders.
A few things that might matter to you:
Try it free: 50 photos, no credit card. Use code PH500 for an additional 500 under the account tab in "Redeem a code". No subscription: one-time pricing per batch of photos dated, from $49.
I'd love to hear how you've dealt with digitizing your own family's photo boxes and how you've viewed them since.
I'm here for questions. 🙂 Honest feedback welcome.
