An easy way
through
your photos.

Your camera roll fills up with screenshots, receipts and near duplicates you meant to deal with. PixScan puts them in front of you one at a time so you can actually get through them. Nothing is deleted until you say so.

How it works

Four gestures.
That's the whole app.

Every photo gets one decision. Change your mind and double tap to undo. Long press to see it full screen.

←

Delete

Marked for removal. Nothing goes until you confirm it.

→

Keep

Stays exactly where it is.

↑

OCR, then delete

Reads the words off the photo, then marks the photo for removal.

↓

OCR, then keep

Takes the words and leaves the photo alone.

On-device text extraction

The text outlives
the photo.

You photograph a receipt for one number, or screenshot a booking for one code, and never open it again. Swipe up or down and the words come with you — searchable, copyable, and linked back to the picture they came from.

Your text library

Everything you
pulled out, findable.

Search the whole library and watch the matches highlight as you type. Every entry keeps a thumbnail of the photo it came from, so you can tap straight back to the original.

  • Search across every extraction, with matches highlighted in place
  • Sort by newest, oldest or longest
  • Swipe to copy, share or delete, and remap those actions to taste
  • Export the lot as a .txt file whenever you want it elsewhere

Built for a real camera roll

Works on a
library that's
years deep.

Most photo tools fall over on a library that has been running for years. PixScan is built for exactly that one.

  • iCloud aware. Optimised libraries show real download progress instead of a blank square
  • Works offline. Thumbnails still load, and anything that needed the network retries itself once you reconnect
  • Picks up where you stopped. Close it mid sweep and come back to the same photo
  • Screenshots-only filter for the part of the roll that needs it most
  • Storage shown up front, before you commit to anything

Privacy

Nothing ever leaves
your iPhone.

There is no account, no server and no analytics. PixScan has nothing to upload because it was never built to.

Read on the device

Text recognition runs through Apple's Vision framework locally. Images are never sent anywhere for processing.

Stored on the device

Extracted text and your progress live in local storage. Deleting the app removes all of it.

Deleted by you

Swiping only marks a photo. Deletion happens when you confirm it, through iOS, and stays recoverable for 30 days.
