Timeline Scan is an AI service that reads each scanned photo, works out the date it was actually taken, and writes that date into the metadata of the file you get back, so your scans sort chronologically in Google Photos, Apple Photos, and Immich. Or keep them online with us, in Family Library, where the whole family shares one timeline. One job for you. We do the rest.

The AI
How does it know when, and where?
AI reads the clues in each photo (a printed date, handwriting on the back, faces, clothes, cars) and estimates when and where it was taken.
