instax UP!

What instax UP! is

instax UP! scans physical instax prints into digital photos that can be collected and shared. It supports mini, SQUARE, and WIDE prints, including decorated photos, and lets users remove reflections and adjust contrast, brightness, saturation, and warmth. Scans can be browsed in Box View or List View and sorted by date and time, location, or keyword. Albums organize pictures by theme, while instax Days displays scans by date on a calendar. The app can import movies shot on a hybrid instax camera, as well as photos and movies from compatible instax Link, mini Evo, and mini LiPlay apps. Collections can be shared through social media and messaging services, and registration is not required. The app is free on Android and iOS, though data usage charges are the user's responsibility. The FAQ lists Android 10.0 or later and iOS 14.0 or later; a notice says version 2.3.0 or later requires iOS 16 or later. Deleting the app also deletes scans and other data, so users should use Data backup and Data transfer when moving to a new phone.
