Photo Digitization
Print and slide scanning services
Most of us have a cache of old family photos or slides stashed away in boxes hidden from view. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all those precious family memories could be easily viewed & shared again?
State of the art scanning technology allows us to offer affordable bulk scanning of large quantities of photos or slides that we can archive to a DVD or flash drive so you can easily view these images on your your devices. Digital images make it easier to order prints, create photobooks and keepsakes and share these treasured memories with friends and family members everywhere. For one image or one thousand, our photo technicians take the time to clean and correct your old image to give you the best possible scan.
Scratch this very important task off your list today. Just gather and organize these treasures and leave the rest to us.

DIGITIZATION FAQ
HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I STORE MY NEWLY DIGITIZED PHOTOS?
We will always provide you with a hard drive (usually a 4GB flash drive) and a link to a private cloud storage application that is free for 180 days. In general, we recommend that you always use three forms of backup – and that one of those backups NOT be at your home. For example, you might keep a cloud version as your offsite backup, and the originals and the USB drive as your onsite backups. We recommend that you use this approach to back up all of your media, be it documents, home movies, digital documents, digital photos taken on your cameras or phones, etc. And it is ideal to consolidate all of your items into a single device so that you don’t misplace any of your content. If you need any help or tips on getting your digital life organized as one of your next projects, please feel free to reach out to our Digital Organizing team, who are global experts in this area.
HOW MANY VHS TAPES FIT ON A DVD?
The newer DVDs we use have dual layers, which means they can hold up to 7-8 hours of footage, as opposed to the 2-3 hours on the DVDs we used to rent at Blockbuster. The average tape we receive is roughly 1.5 hours long, so clients can often combine 3-5 tapes onto a single DVD. Our VHS to digital service allows you to select which video you are watching from a custom DVD menu our team creates for you. If your tapes are labeled, you will see those labels on your menu or your DVD. You can also store your home movies on a hard drive or in the cloud to download onto your devices anytime.
