- Timeline Scan is a service that helps date scanned family photos by using clues like filenames, timestamps, handwriting, and visual elements to determine their actual dates.
- It works by analyzing uploaded photos (JPEG or TIFF) and then organizes them based on corrected dates stored within each file's metadata, which photo apps like Google Photos or Apple Photos use for sorting.
- The service includes features such as optional tagging of people and integration with various platforms including direct upload to Google Photos, a dedicated iPhone app for on-device correction, and syncing with self-hosted servers.
- Users can choose to download the dated photos, send them to their photo library, or both, ensuring the original files remain unaltered while organizing them chronologically.
- It also offers scanning of physical prints at their location in Lehi, Utah, for those with photos still in boxes.
