Size a Family Photo Scanning Project
Estimate scanning and naming time separately from sorting brittle albums. The number of photos alone misses the work that usually stalls a family archive.
1 · batch | photos to scan | preparation minutes
FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the negative sleeve: your batch | photos to scan | preparation minutes stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Naming and orientation correction can take longer than capture. After: the negative sleeve shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
2 · Read the negative sleeve
This estimates labour and never uploads photos. Seek archival or conservation advice for fragile, mouldy or irreplaceable originals.

Boundary and sources
This estimates labour and never uploads photos. Seek archival or conservation advice for fragile, mouldy or irreplaceable originals.
- Method: Album removal, gentle sorting and scanner setup go in preparation minutes. The starter includes sixty minutes of preparation on top of 190 minutes of per-photo work.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-27, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Mechanism: competence-autonomy-loop
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this negative sleeve, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a negative sleeve. Return plain rows only: batch | photos to scan | preparation minutes. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: batch | photos to scan | preparation minutes. No AI response is executed as code.
