Launched in 2018, Epson says its “wildly popular and award-winning FastFoto FF-680W WiFi photo scanner” is getting a significant companion app upgrade.
Developed by Epson, the new FastFoto app will be available for download for free on iOS and Android, and will add “significant capabilities and functionality to the FastFoto with a host of new features that lets users create, edit and share their memories”.
Once installed on a tablet or smartphone, Epson says that “users will not only be able to scan photos directly but also edit, share and even create stories with them.
“This means users will be able to chronologically join a series of images while at the same time overlaying commentary to create an entire story.
“You can also add background music from either the supplied styles or from your own library to add that special and individual touch whilst text can be easily added to photos. This new app also allows easy uploading of photos and stories to social media”.

Epson Australia’s GM marketing Bruce Bealby said, “The new FastFoto app will take what you can do with FastFoto to a whole new level.
“You will be able to seamlessly integrate with mobile devices to not only save and share photos, but create stories and share them too. Once you use the app there really will be no turning back, it’s that good.”
Availability
The new FastFoto app - suitable for new and existing users of the FastFoto FF-680W - is coming soon and once here you will be able to download and use it for free.
