Unmounted transforms your iPhone into a powerful photo preservation tool — bringing back the stories locked inside old scrapbooks, albums, and shoeboxes. Point your camera at any page of old photographs and Unmounted automatically detects each individual photo, draws precise crop boxes around them, and lets you extract them one by one at full resolution. It's the fastest way to go from a dusty album page to a set of beautifully preserved digital images. SMART PHOTO DETECTION Unmounted uses Apple's Vision framework to find photos on any background — dark scrapbook pages, light album paper, even loose prints on a table. It identifies individual photos even when they overlap, and lets you adjust every crop box by dragging handles with precision. Long-press any box to delete it. Long-press a buried box to bring it to the front. Or draw a new box freehand with your finger. PROFESSIONAL EDITING TOOLS Each extracted photo opens in a full editing suite: • Auto Enhance — one tap intelligently balances exposure, contrast, and black point • Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows • Black Point, Saturation, Vibrance, Warmth • Sharpness and Vignette • Filters: Noir, Chrome, Fade, Transfer, and more • Crop, rotate, straighten, and flip HIGH RESOLUTION OUTPUT Export at up to 4000px on the longest edge. RAW and ProRAW files from iPhone are handled efficiently so even 48-megapixel scrapbook pages load and process quickly. Works with JPEGs, HEICs, and ProRAW files. IPTC METADATA Add captions to each photo before saving. Captions are embedded directly into the IPTC Caption-Abstract field, so your descriptions travel with the image in Photos, Lightroom, and any app that reads metadata. DESIGNED FOR REAL SCRAPBOOKS Old photos are rarely perfectly aligned. Unmounted handles tilted prints, overlapping corners, and worn edges. When auto-detection needs a nudge, simply draw your own crop rectangle. No subscription. No account. No cloud upload. Everything stays on your device. Whether you're preserving family history, digitizing an estate, or archiving a local historical collection, Unmounted gives you the tools to do it right.
