How we scan your photos

We capture your photos using:

Automated Feed Scanning

Used for:

• Fast, high-volume scanning for large photo collections

• Front and back scanning in a single pass (duplex)

• Ideal for 3×5, 4×6, 5×7 and other standard photo sizes

• Gentle, low-pressure rollers designed for photo stock

• Automatic skew correction and dust detection

• Consistent capture across hundreds or thousands of photographs

  Automated feed scanning allows us to process large collections efficiently while maintaining consistent image quality, making it ideal when you have boxes or envelopes filled with standard prints.

  Great for shoebox photos, envelopes, or large loose collections of prints.

High-Resolution Camera Capture

Used for:

• Large portraits and oversized photographs

• Mounted photos that cannot safely pass through a scanner

• Fragile, brittle, curled, or damaged photographs

• Photos attached to backing boards or other materials

• Stuck, taped, or unusually shaped items

• Photographs requiring careful, non-contact handling

  High-resolution camera capture allows us to digitize difficult or delicate photographs without feeding them through rollers or placing unnecessary pressure on the original.

  Ideal for oversized, fragile, mounted, or one-of-a-kind photographs.

Flatbed Scanning

Used for:

• Standard prints on heavy or rigid photo stock

• Postcards and other thick photographic materials

• Delicate photographs that should not be feed-scanned

• Curled or irregular prints requiring controlled placement

• Photographs requiring precise positioning and consistent focus

• Older prints where additional handling care is appropriate

  Each photograph is individually positioned and scanned to produce sharp, consistent detail while minimizing handling of the original.

  Ideal for older, delicate, thick, or unusually shaped photographs.
