We know that many photo albums are filled with precious bits and pieces connected with the photos we take. Our photo album scanning service will take care of your needs. 

We will take your loose photos or pages and scan to produce high quality digital images which can then be gathered to create a photo book of your choosing. This process not only gives you a digitised copy of your original photographs for safe keeping but also helps restore the faded colour that physical photographs lose over time.

With you we will then produce a bespoke package of your favourite photos to suit your individual needs. This might even include baby scan photos, an ultrasound picture or high resolution ultrasound scans. Mothers rightly cherish their first ultrasound photo and we will take good care of them too.

In most cases, we’re simply asked to reproduce as best as possible the pages within an album as faithfully as possible – including the original layout. This is important to most customers. Collections of photo albums were often created over many years in most cases and were arranged in a set order. Another feature that we see quite often, is that pages will sometimes include handwritten notes that often relate to multiple images on the same page. 

In many cases, we’re asked to take the albums and produce a set of individual scans from them into a digital format at a quality file size. We  can also scan the reverse of the images too for a nominal extra fee. Increasingly, we’re asked to carry out both full page and individual scans. A typical resolution would be 300 dpi or 600 dpi or more depending on the project. We sometimes opt for a higher resolution too. This gives our customers a high degree of flexibility over what they can do thereafter.

Please note that we can optionally remove each original photo from your album and scan them individually before placing the images back into your albums. Most of the time, we’re asked to return them to envelopes. Again if the images are stuck in albums and we’re not sure that they can be safely removed without tearing them, our basic position is to scan them in situ so as to ensure that your precious photographs are not damaged. 

We offer a wide variety of options to fit your needs. Whether you’re wanting to combine loose photographs into a printed personalised photo book, produce copies of much loved existing albums, carry out photo printing or simply ask us to scan photographs, it’s likely we’ve got options for you.
