Documents to Digital Service

Heirloom digitizes all types of paper documents, including letters, forms, receipts, legal papers, notebooks, and mixed paperwork. Both front and back sides are scanned whenever content is present.

Documents are delivered as 300 DPI searchable PDF files. Text is OCR-processed so your files can be searched, copied, and organized digitally, making them far more useful than basic image scans.

Any obvious groupings—such as banded stacks, folders, or envelopes—are preserved and scanned into a single PDF file. That same file name is physically labeled on the original grouping so digital and physical records stay aligned.

Documents 9” × 14” or smaller, without staples, paperclips, or mixed sizes, are considered simple and scanned by the pound. Anything with fasteners, mixed sizes, delicate paper, or special handling is scanned as complex.

Any paper larger than 9” × 14” is considered oversize. Oversize documents require specialized handling and are scanned individually to ensure clarity and accuracy.

Yes. Heirloom preserves the original order and groupings exactly as received. Nothing is rearranged unless you specifically request it.

Paper fades, tears, and is vulnerable to fire, water, and loss. Digitized documents are searchable, easy to back up, simple to share, and accessible from anywhere—without risking the originals.
