Photo Scanning

Digitally archive your photographs

Do you have boxes of photos stored in shoe boxes tucked away in some dark corner of the basement? Or stuck in old photo albums?

Imagine losing all of those irreplaceable photos in the blink of an eye. What happens if a pipe bursts and your basement fills with water? You're going to end up with a huge mess of unrecognizable pictures!

Stored properly, a photo can last hundreds of years. But really, how many of us store our photos in temperature, light and humidity controlled environments? Stored improperly, your photos are fading and becoming cracked.

If you're like many families, you have boxes and albums full of pictures from family events from the past 10, 20, 50 or even 75 years! In today's society, these images represent our lives and will be the main way future generations can glimpse into their history.

FAQ

Whats a DPI?: DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. Its basically the amount of information stored in the picture. Think of it along the same lines as megapixels on your digital camera.
Which DPI is best for me?: Well, that depends on what you plan to do with you pictures.
For basic reprinting of your pictures as well as emailing, 300DPI is probably fine for your purposes.
If you plan on reprinting your pictures at a larger size than the originals, or if you want to be able to do a lot of editing, then 600 DPI is probably the way to go.
For archival purposes and to ensure you have the best copy possible in case you lose your originals, 1200DPI is a good option.
What is backside scanning?: Often important family pictures will have names, places or dates on the back side of the pictures. Also, often commercial photo printer will print dates on the backs of pictures. By including backside scanning on your order, you get 2 copies of each picture, one of the front side and one of the back side.
Note: This is a per order option and cannot be specified for individual pictures.
Do I have to take photos out of albums or can I just give you my albums?: Unfortunately, to be able to offer the low prices we do, all photos must be removed from albums for us to scan them.
How do you scan photos larger than 8.5x11.5?: Due to only small demand for large photo scanning, all photos larger than 8.5"x11.5" are scanned in sections and seamlessly stitched together. We guarantee you will not be able to find the lines where the scans are joined together.
Each section scan is charged as an "unusual sized" photo. For example, a photo which is 10x14 will be scanned in 2 sections (each 10x7). A photo which is 14x20 will be scanned in 4 sections (each 7x10).
