What can be scanned this way

Photo prints that are un-mounted, at least 2 x 3 inches and no bigger than 8.5 x 11 inches can be scanned at "Shoebox Special" pricing.

Please note

Prints bound into books or albums or mounted onto cardboard or any rigid material are not eligible for "Shoebox Special" pricing. We can handle all those "nonconforming" prints at $1.99 each. You can choose whether to have us include those nonconforming originals at $1.99 each, or return them to you as is.

That same price applies to prints that are too small for our automated scanner.

Prints larger than 8.5x11 but smaller than 9x12 can be manually scanned and added at $9.95 each.

Image size

Photos scanned at 300 dpi at the size of the original photo. We save them as high quality jpg files. Images retain about the same color as the original. Faded images are still faded, good pictures are still good. For photos that are in need of repair or restoration ask about Fix-a-Pic service.

Prepare your photos for scanning by removing them from envelopes. All Post-It notes, tape or adhesives must be removed.

If you face all the pictures the same way, we'll try to keep them all heads up. However, we may have to turn some to feed through the scanner.
