Old photos are family treasures and once lost, they cannot be recovered. Everyone makes plans to have them scanned, but in many cases, they don't do it in time to save a picture from loss or the wear and tear of aging. Imagine the horror of losing cherished memories and priceless keepsakes to a natural disaster such as fire, or flood.

 

It's sad to hear stories of people losing their photos. Scanning and then backing up your images in multiple locations is the best way to protect them.

Being able to hold on to memories beyond a generation means that your children and grandchildren will know those people who were close to you and made an impression in your life. Our ancestry is vitally important. Having old pictures or videos is an opportunity to share your history with others. Those around you will have a glimpse of you and your family. Allow us to scan your treasures so you can enjoy and share your memories without all the stress of having to do the scanning yourself.

All scans are done right here in your local community. No risking your photos by sending them back and forth across the country.

We will give you and your photos the same personal attention we offer all of our customers. We're available for assistance over the phone or in person.

300dpi JPG - Photos are scanned at 300 dpi at the size of the original photo. We save them as high quality jpg files. Images retain about the same color as the original. Faded images are still faded, good pictures are still good.
600dpi JPG - Photos are scanned at 600dpi, this is suitable for making prints larger than the original.
600dpi TIF - A larger scan saved in an uncompressed image format, these files are great for archiving your images.

Digital photos are much more versatile

Once your prints are scanned we will put the files on a thumbdrive for you. We can also create collage prints, slide shows, and shareable PDFs. They can be uploaded to online albums, you can create beautiful photo books with the numerous online services available today, or simply email a special photo from the past to a friend or family member.
