Do you have photos of family members that other family members would like copies of but you only have one copy of it. Scanning those important photos is a great way of sharing them with others. If you have 35mm negatives that are locked away and are getting older every day why not have them digitised for future generations. As time goes by and technology changes the need to convert negatives and slides digitally make become harder to find and more expensive. Now is the time to do something about it.
If you have photos in photo albums that you would prefer not to remove from the photo albums as they may be brittle or they may tear, we can in most cases scan those photos from the photo album. If the protective plastic sheet is not damaged your photos can be scanned directly from the photo album.
Are you in a hurry to have your photos, negatives and slides scanned and wished there was a way to save on postage and waiting for your scanned photos, negatives and slides to arrive. Or you may prefer to download your images once they have been scanned. We now offer a download service.
Once your negatives, photos or slides have been scanned your scanned images will be available for you to download via your own web page. Your web page will be secure so no one else will be able to download your images. This way you save on time and scanning costs.
We offer two levels of service for each type of scanning. Below are charts which should assist you in deciding which ppi resolution suits your needs.
