What customers say
Families and hobbyists trust AutoSplitter for archival work.
“This was the greatest purchase I have made in a while! It works just as described, providing all the features that were most important to me when I was preparing to embark on digitizing several hundred family photos of all shapes and sizes and varying image qualities. Easy to install and easy to learn how to use. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!”
“I just used it to do 400+ photos for our wedding slideshow.”
“I just wanted to tell you that AutoSplitter saved the day. I was asked to scan in a large stack of photos for a friend's funeral. I first downloaded the software from the manufacturer of my scanner. I could not even get it to recognize my scanner! I downloaded the trial version of AutoSplitter and it worked perfectly the first time. I immediately purchased it and with a short amount of time, I had scanned and saved all of the photos. Thank you so much!”
Automatic photo retouching
Retouch your scanned photos automatically
Old prints can fade or yellow over time. Explore these before-and-after examples to see how automatic retouching can restore their color.
Drag the divider, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to compare each photo.
Why do old photos fade or turn yellow?
Three common causes can change the color of old prints:
- UV radiation: Ultraviolet light in sunlight can fade photos over time. Keep old prints covered and away from direct light.
- Acidic paper: Some photo paper deteriorates as it ages, often leaving an orange tint.
- Fungal growth: Fungi can leave brown discoloration. Keeping photos dry helps reduce the risk of growth.
Bring faded colors back to life
Whatever has affected your photos, AutoSplitter's automatic correction tools can help counter fading and discoloration. The Revitalize colors feature can restore old, faded, or yellowed prints, and make black-and-white scans look more vivid.
Fine-tune the result by adjusting contrast and saturation. More contrast can make a photo look livelier, while more saturation can make its colors stand out. Every photo responds differently, so experiment and review your settings when you start a new batch.
Captions and metadata
Add text captions and meta tags to your scanned photos
Preserve the people, places, and dates behind each scanned picture.
Add captions to your scanned photos
AutoSplitter lets you add text captions beneath your scanned photos. Change the caption font, text color, and background color to suit your taste.
Scan multiple photos at once, then add captions just before saving them. Include dates, locations, and the names of friends and relatives in the photos to preserve even more memories.
Make photos easier to find
Metadata is information embedded inside an image file. It is not visible on the photo, but photo-editing and cataloging software can read it and use it to make images easier to find. Save captions as visible text, metadata, or both.
Windows can index photo metadata to help you find images. This example shows a search for Zürich in the Windows search bar.
Captions in Windows and image files
Windows Explorer can display saved captions when you hover over a photo, view its file properties, or use the View/Details pane.
For JPEG and TIFF files, captions are saved as EXIF metadata, which is widely supported by image software. PNG metadata is stored in a different format (IDAT chunks), with more limited third-party support.
Windows Explorer displays metadata for JPG and TIF files. Support in other image software varies, so check that your preferred applications can read these tags.
Advanced scanning workflow
Four-corner scanning for fast, accurate results
Do you want to guarantee 100% accurate photo detection while scanning? Group photos by size. Ideally, scan four photos of the same size in each pass, one photo in each corner of your scanner bed.
Set up a repeatable scan pass
- Place one photo in each corner of the flatbed scanner's document area.
- Make sure Preserve splits option is enabled in AutoSplitter.
- Click Scan. AutoSplitter detects and crops the photos; adjust the detected areas if needed.
- Click Save All to save the individual photos.
- Repeat with the next set, keeping the same layout. AutoSplitter reuses the detected areas for the new scan.
Why this workflow is better
AutoSplitter detects the photo layout once, then carries those results over to subsequent scans. When the photos are the same size and stay in the same positions, the saved detection areas remain accurate.
This guarantees consistently accurate photo detection and saves a lot of time and effort.
Compatibility and file formats
Technical specifications
Windows and scanners
AutoSplitter is Windows-compatible and should work with flatbed scanners through WIA or TWAIN.
Image formats
Open TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP images. You can save in these formats except BMP.
Resolution and captions
DPI information is preserved when the output format supports EXIF metadata, which can help if you later reproduce your scans in print. Captions are saved in EXIF metadata for JPEG and TIFF files, and in IDAT chunks for PNG files.
