Simple Steps
PhotoScanr is designed to feel like a small helper sitting beside you while you work. Here is what happens when you analyze your photos:
- Upload: Add your photo by dragging it into the page, choosing it from your device, or pasting a link to an image.
- Let AI Look At It: Our system uses AI to look at what is in the photo and what it is about.
- Get Your Text: You get a suggested title, caption, keywords, and a longer description, along with basic details like size and format.
- Use It Anywhere: Copy what you need or export everything for multiple images at once so you can drop it into your own tools or platforms.
What You Get For Each Photo
Every time you run a photo through PhotoScanr, you get two kinds of information.
AI Written Text
- Title: A short, descriptive name for the image.
- Caption: A longer sentence or short paragraph you can use on social media or websites.
- Keywords: A list of words and phrases that describe what is in the photo and what it is about.
- Description: A fuller piece of text that explains the scene in more detail.
Instagram Mode: Captions are written with Instagram in mind, with space for hashtags and a character limit that fits the platform.
Flickr Mode: Text is written for people who need longer descriptions and many tags so images are easier to find in large photo libraries.
Basic Photo Details
- Image size: How large the photo is in pixels.
- File size: How big the file is on disk.
- File type: Whether it is a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or another common format.
- Shape: The overall proportions of the image so you can tell if it is more square, wide, or tall.
What AI Is Good At And Where You Come In
AI is very good at giving you a strong starting point. It can quickly describe what is in a photo and suggest text that would normally take you much longer to write by hand.
Where AI Helps Most
- Everyday scenes like people, places, nature, and events
- Clear, well lit photos
- Images where the subject is obvious at a glance
- Quick brainstorming for captions, keywords, and descriptions
Where Your Touch Matters
- Very abstract or experimental images
- Personal or sensitive projects
- Photos that need exact names, locations, or context
- Art where the story behind the image is as important as what is visible
The best results come from using AI as a fast first draft, then adding your own knowledge and style. Think of PhotoScanr as a helper that gets you most of the way there so you can finish the job in your own voice.
Privacy And Safety
What You Can Expect
- No long term storage: Photos are only used to create your results and are not kept afterward.
- No accounts: You do not need to create an account or share personal details to use the tool.
- No human review: The process is automated. Your photos are not manually reviewed.
- Your rights: You keep full ownership of your images and how you use the text that is generated.
For more detail, you can read the Privacy Policy.
Working With Many Photos At Once
PhotoScanr is built for people who work with more than just a handful of images.
How it works with batches:
- Select several photos at once or drag a group of images into the page.
- Each photo is analyzed separately and gets its own text and details.
- You can move between images using the thumbnails and review the results.
- When you are ready, you can export everything in one go for use in your own tools.
If you have a very large set of photos, it can be easier to work in smaller groups so you can review and approve text as you go.
Who Uses PhotoScanr
PhotoScanr is useful any time you need to turn a pile of images into something structured and usable.
- Photographers: Add titles, captions, and keywords to large image libraries.
- Social media managers: Get captions and tags ready for posts in minutes instead of hours.
- E commerce sellers: Create clear, descriptive text for product images.
- Bloggers and writers: Add better captions and alt text for accessibility and search.
- Teams and agencies: Keep image collections consistent and easier to search.
