Photo Scanning Service
Why Scan Photos?
Do you have any old-school paper photos or Polaroids? They can last forever if you protect them from air, moisture, and fire! But TBH, paper photos can get ruined by water, mice, or even stolen by robbers. Like, not cool!
That’s why archiving photos is the way to go if you wanna keep those memories alive for years to come! Digital pics don’t take up any physical space, and with the internet, you can keep them in a ton of places to make sure they’re safe! So, let’s scan those pics!
Photo Archiving
Did you know you can scan anything on paper that’s worth keeping? Like, seriously, we provide photo archiving of documents, certificates, letters, newspaper articles, and more!
And, let’s not forget about pics of weddings, birthday parties, graduations, anniversaries, vacations, and all that fun stuff. But, here’s the thing: those memories won’t last forever unless you digitize them.
So, why not take a stroll down memory lane and keep all your amazing memories safe for generations to come? Like, seriously, your grand and great-grandkids will be SO grateful you did!

Photo Scanning FAQs
Our standard format is high-resolution JPG, but we can do virtually any format on request.
Some people ask if they can drop off a photo album? We’d prefer to have loose photos to scan. It makes the process quicker and therefore, saves you money. Also, sometimes taking photos out of an album can cause damage to them, and we definitely don’t want that to happen to your precious memories. If you can’t take the photos out with damaging them, no worries – we can try scanning them while they’re still in the pages. But just a heads up, the quality might not be as good as if we scanned them individually.
Some customers organize the photos by date, event, or family and put them in Ziploc bags or envelopes. When you bring an organized collection, we can scan them in organized folders on the USB we give you.
