You can also scan individual photos, in case you have a collection in a shoebox somewhere, as well as upload photos from your phone’s camera roll, the company says. After scanning, you can also add more details, like names, dates, and places, to make them easier to find. The app identifies the separate photos and will automatically crop them and save them as stand-alone images. To use the app, which is available for both iOS and Android, you’ll snap photos from the pages of your old photo albums.

Reimagine builds on that technology by combining it with other photo-editing tools designed specifically for preserving old photos. The new mobile app’s main focus is to help users easily import printed photos stored in albums, then touch them up by improving their resolution, fixing scratches and creases, and even restoring color in black-and-white photos and animating faces - the latter, a technique that went viral in prior years with MyHeritage’s launch of “Deep Nostalgia.” Now, genealogy company MyHeritage is turning to AI to make it easier for families to preserve their memories with the launch of its latest app, Reimagine. AI is impacting the realm of photography, ranging from tools for professionals like Adobe Photoshop’s new generative AI, to those for consumers, like Google Photos’ forthcoming Magic Editor.
