Photomyne Ltd. is an image scanning software development startup company, founded in February 2015 by four Israeli entrepreneurs[1][2]. Its main product is a feature-rich smartphone app for scanning old prints and turning them into digital files[3] which can then be shared, edited and annotated. In addition, the app synchronizes and backs up the newly digital photo files to the company's cloud.[4][5]. The app's AI-based scanning algorithm can detect multiple photos in a single scanning shot, and then proceeds to crop and save those into individual digital photos in an album in the app[1][6]. Additional app features include applying color filters, manual cropping[7], adding photo metadata such as names[8], location, dates and description[6]. In addition, active account members can access, edit and download their scanned photos from the web, on the company's web portal[9]. As of February 2018, Photomyne's photo scanner app (on both iOS and Android) has been downloaded by more than 4 million users worldwide, who scanned over than 60 million photos, and shared 24 million photos to date. In 2016 Photomyne raised $2.6 million in seed funding from private investors[1]. As of Dec 2017 the mobile app is available in 12 languages. The company's headquarters are in Bnei Brak, Israel.
