How to Scan and Save Photos on Android Using the Clickfree App – Clearview Productions

Want to scan printed photos using your Clickfree app? This easy step-by-step guide will show you how to start a scan, use auto or manual capture, apply edits like crop or colorize, and save your scanned photos to your Clickfree drive or phone storage.

1. Start the Scanning Process

From the Clickfree home screen, tap "Scan Photos".
Tap on the Add icon to begin.
- - - Understand the Scanning Workspace:
      - The Scanning Workspace is a temporary holding area.
      - Your scans will not be saved permanently unless you use the "Save To"/"Copy To" option after scanning.

3. Position Your Photo

Place your photo within the frame shown on your screen.
By default, the app is set to Auto Capture – it will automatically take the photo when it’s perfectly aligned.
If you’re using Manual Capture, just tap the Capture button when the photo looks right.

4. Preview and Edit (Optional)

After the photo is captured, you’ll see a Preview Screen. Here, you can apply some basic edits:

Crop & Rotate – Adjust the edges or orientation.
Apply a Filter – Add effects to enhance the image.
Clean – Remove marks and improve quality.
Retake – Not happy with the result? Tap to try again.

Tip: You can skip editing now and come back to it later especially if you’re scanning multiple photos.

5. Scan More Photos (Optional)

To scan more photos, tap the "+" button.
Each new photo will appear as a thumbnail preview under the main screen.
When you’re finished scanning, tap "Done".

6. Edit Your Scans

After tapping Done, you’ll enter the Scanning Workspace.
Here you can go through each scanned image and make more edits if you’d like.
- Colorize black and white photos to bring old photos back to life!
When finished, tap the checkmark (✔️) at the top right corner.

7. Save Your Scanned Photos

Your photos are not fully saved yet—they’re in a temporary workspace.

Go to the Scanning Workspace Menu.
Tap "Select" in the top right corner.
Choose the photos you want to save by checking them off.
Tap "Copy To" at the bottom of the screen.
Choose where to save:
- Clickfree (they’ll go into the Scanned Pictures folder in View Backup Storage)
- or your Phone/Tablet Storage
