Scrapbook Scanning

You’ve spent many hours lovingly creating scrapbooks. Now take the next step and protect and preserve them by having them scanned by a pro.

High resolution scanning of albums and scrapbooks is a great way to …

  • Back up your memories in a digital format
  • Make copies to share with friends and family
  • Turn those old bulky scrapbooks and albums into fresh new photo books that take less space to store

Using high-quality scanning equipment, I can provide you with a replica of your scrapbooks and photo albums.

Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions. I have answers.

Here are some questions I typically get asked. If there’s something you want to know and the answer isn’t here, please reach out to me.

Why would I scan my albums and scrapbooks?

Not only will you have a backup of your albums should any unforeseen disaster damage or destroy them, there are additional reasons you may want to consider when deciding to have them scanned.

  • You can create videos with the scanned page images.
  • You can print hard copies and share them with family members.
  • You can simply leave them as digital images and share them with family and friends.
  • If you’re downsizing or looking at saving some space, reprinting your traditional scrapbooks and albums are greatly reduced in size. And the quality of the scanned images is practically the same. I have a demo book that I use to show that the difference between the original and the scanned is pretty amazing.

Scanning your photo albums and scrapbooks is an investment in the future. By ensuring your photos are preserved and easily accessible, you are gifting future generations a window into their heritage.

*DPI is the number of dots per inch. A 300 DPI scan (typically used with many photo scanning outlets) produces a mediocre quality image, whereas a 600 DPI scan will produce a higher quality, sharper image.

**Any hardware that is used is an additional cost to the client.
