WHAT’S INCLUDED?

  • Scans at 300dpi or 600dpi depending on your needs.

  • All of your photos are blasted with compressed air to remove as much surface dust as possible before we scan them.

    Once they’re scanned, they go through a round of digital dust removal to get rid of any smaller specks that couldn’t be removed, resulting in a clean final image.

  • If you have groups of images that you’ve named or photo albums that have labels, we’ll transfer those titles to the digital folders containing your scanned images, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

    Got dates on your albums/groups? We’ll do our best to sort everything in chronological order for you.

  • A free 30-day, unlimited download and sharing link (up to 100GB in size)

    All of our orders for digital files come with a free download and sharing link so you can share your memories with as many family members and friends as you like.

    Need longer than 30 days? We can store your files indefinitely for just $5 a month.

  • Our image files are provided as high quality JPEG files as standard (the most compatible format), so you can take them anywhere and load them on any device.

  • We crop every scan to the image itself, ensuring a clean final photo file.

    We also make sure that every image is rotated and oriented the correct way.

  • 15¢ per scan

    If you need the best possible quality from your scans, we can scan your photographs as TIFF files, giving you the most digital information in your images.

  • 25¢ per image

    We’ll adjust color balance, levels, brightness, contrasting, etc to bring life back to faded images.

  • $49 per 1000 photos

    Want to show off your newly digital images as a slideshow? Our most basic slideshow shows each image for 5 seconds and fades into the next.

    Perfect for putting on loop on your TV at family gatherings.

    If you’d like to go all out and add music, titles and more, head over to our Slideshows page for more details.

  • Got old photos that have seen better days? Whether they’re faded, torn, or in need of a little selective editing, we’ll restore them with expert care.

    Our work starts at $50 per 30 mins of technician time (most jobs can be completed in this time). But since every restoration job is different, we’ll give you an estimate before we start and keep in contact with you if we feel like it could use more attention.

    Head over to our Photo Restoration page for more information.

  • All our orders come with a free download and sharing link, but if you’d like to add a USB drive to your order, we can get the right size for the media you have.

    Our prices start at $12 and we can let you know how large a drive you’ll need.

    We can also put your files on a 100-year archival Data DVDs for $15 per 4.5GB of files (or per disc if special organization required). A great option to store away in a safety deposit box for safekeeping.

Why Our Pricing Reflects Quality: Flatbed vs. Feed Scanners

You might come across photo scanning services advertising prices as low as 5-10¢ per image and wonder why our pricing is higher. The answer is simple: we refuse to compromise on quality, and that starts with the equipment we use.

We only use professional flatbed scanners for all photo scanning projects. Many budget services use document feed scanners (where photos are mechanically pulled through a machine like a copy machine) to scan photos faster and cheaper. We tested these machines years ago and immediately realized the quality wasn't acceptable for preserving your irreplaceable memories.

The Problems with Feed Scanners

RGB Streaking Ruins Your Images

Document feed scanners create noticeable streaking in your photos - red, green, and blue vertical lines that run through your images. As your photo is mechanically pulled across the glass, any tiny dust particle creates a colored streak across the entire picture. You might see a bright red line running through your grandmother's face, or blue streaks cutting across a wedding photo. That's not archival quality, and it's not acceptable to us.

Lost Detail in Dark Areas

Feed scanners also struggle with the darker portions of photos. Because images are being pulled through so rapidly, the scanner only has a fraction of a second to capture all the data from each 4x6 or 5x7 photo. This results in lost color information and a crisscross pattern of white throughout dark areas that becomes very obvious on good monitors or when printing. Once that detail is lost, it can never be recovered.

Physical Risk to Your Originals

Perhaps most concerning - feed scanners have moving mechanical parts that your photos must pass through. Photos can get caught, jammed, bent, or even torn during the feeding process. Your irreplaceable family memories could be physically destroyed before they're even digitized.

Our Flatbed Approach: Quality Over Speed

With flatbed scanning, your photos remain completely stationary and safe while the scanner sensor moves precisely underneath. There's no mechanical feeding, no risk of damage, and no streaking. Each photo is carefully placed on the glass by hand, scanned with professional-grade precision, and safely returned to you exactly as we received it.

Does this take more time? Absolutely. Does it cost more? Yes. But when you're preserving 50 years of family history, the difference in quality is worth every penny.

If you see photo scanning advertised for 5-10¢ per image, they're almost certainly using feed scanners or sending your photos overseas. We encourage you to ask any service what type of equipment they use before trusting them with your memories.

With Remember Whenever, you can be confident that every photo is scanned with care, precision, and equipment designed specifically for photographic imaging - not bulk document processing.

Your memories deserve better than a bargain-basement approach.

Why Digitize My Old Photos Now?

Everyone's got them - boxes of photos shoved in closets, albums stuffed on bookshelves, or envelopes of pictures scattered around the house. Some are organized, most aren't. But they're all slowly fading away while you keep saying you'll deal with them later.

Thing is, photos don't wait. Every year that passes, those colors wash out a bit more. Those edges curl up. Those moments you want to remember start looking pretty rough.

Before It's Too Late

Photo albums get damaged. Fires happen. Pipes burst. But once your pictures are digital files, they're protected. You can make however many copies you want, store them wherever you want, and stop worrying about losing them.

Plus, scanning technology keeps improving, but your photos keep getting worse. A picture we scan today captures more detail than that same photo will have five years from now, after it's faded even more.

Sharing Without the Drama

Think about the last time you wanted to show someone an old photo. You probably dug through albums, found the right picture, then either handed them the actual photo (and prayed they wouldn't bend it) or took a crappy phone picture of a picture.

Once your photos are scanned, sharing becomes stupid easy. That embarrassing school photo you love torturing people with? Send it instantly. Want to surprise your sister with pictures from when you were kids? They're in her text messages before she knows what hit her.

Family group chats get way more interesting when you can drop in that perfect baby photo or that vacation shot everyone forgot existed. No more trying to describe what people looked like - just show them.

Your Personal Photo Collection

Here's where things get fun. Digital photos work with everything now. You can set up automatic slideshows that rotate through your family history on your TV. Get digital photo frames that cycle through decades of memories. There are even new services that let you stream your photo collections to any screen in your house.

Picture walking into your living room and seeing a different family photo every few minutes. Your wedding day, then your kids' first steps, then that random camping trip from 2003. It's like having your whole photo history on shuffle, bringing back stuff you completely forgot about.

Is It Worth Scanning Old Photos?

When we scan your loose photos, albums, and those random pictures stuffed everywhere, we're not just making copies. We're making your memories usable again. Every family gathering gets better when you can instantly pull up pictures from previous ones. Every holiday improves when you can compare it to holidays from way back.

Whether you've got a few special pictures or entire closets full of albums, getting them digitized means they actually become part of your life again. Instead of just taking up space, your family can enjoy them the way they should be - by actually looking at them.

So if you’ve been wondering “Where can I get all my photos scanned?” or wondering where to send old photos to be scanned - give us a call today! You’re in the best hands.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Some questions we often get about our photo scanning process. If you have questions that you don’t see an answer to here or would like more information about our services, please contact us here or check out our main FAQ page.

  • Most photo scanning projects are completed within a few business days from pickup. Larger projects with thousands of photos may take 1-2 weeks.

    Rush service is available if you need your old photos to digital service completed faster. We'll give you a timeline estimate when we pick up your photos and keep you updated throughout the process.

  • Not necessarily, but if you'd like your old photos to digital files organized when you receive them back, it's best to put them into the order or groupings you'd like to get them back in.

    For instance if you have groups of vacation photos, we'd recommend putting each group into its own ziploc bag and writing the title on the bag in sharpie (e.g. Florida Vacation 1994). We'll make a folder for that group digitally and title it accordingly so you know what's what when you get it back.

  • All photo scanning is delivered as high-quality JPEG files, which is the most universally compatible format. JPEG files work on all devices - iPhones, Android phones, computers, tablets, and smart TVs.

    We also provide a complimentary download link for 30 days. Additional delivery options like USB drive or transfer to DVD are available.

  • No, our photo album scanning service can handle albums either way. If you want to leave them as they are, we'll carefully remove them from the album (if possible), scan them and replace them to the best of our ability.

    If you'd prefer loose photo scanning instead and want to save some money, you can remove the photos yourself and bring them to us loose! Either way, we'll preserve your family photos professionally.
