Photo Album Scanning Service
Heirloom's photo album scanning service makes it easy to preserve your family's photo albums without removing a single photograph from the pages. We carefully remove the protective plastic overlay, then professionally scan each individual photo, newspaper clipping, or other keepsake into a high-quality 600 dpi JPG file while preserving the original order of your album.
Whether you're sending photo albums, loose photographs, slides, negatives, film reels, videotapes, or other media, simply send everything together. Our preservation specialists carefully inspect every item, identify exactly what you've sent, verify it can be digitized, and prepare a detailed, itemized quote.
There is no counting, no guesswork, and no obligation. You don't pay anything until we've completed our inspection and emailed you a detailed, no-obligation quote. We begin scanning only after you've approved the quote and submitted payment.
Why Use a Photo Album Scanning Service?
Photo albums preserve more than photographs, they preserve the story of your family's history. Removing photos from aging albums can damage both the prints and the album pages. Heirloom scans each photo in place, preserving the collection without risking unnecessary handling. Every photo is professionally scanned into a 600 dpi JPG file that can be viewed, shared, organized, and preserved for generations.
Why Choose Heirloom?
Most photo album scanning services require you to count photographs or remove them from their pages before shipping.
Heirloom doesn't.
Simply send your albums, and our specialists will:
- Identify every type of media you send
- Inventory each album
- Verify everything can be scanned
- Prepare a detailed, itemized quote
- Answer any questions before work begins
Only after you've reviewed and approved your quote do we begin scanning your memories. That means no surprises, no unnecessary charges, and complete confidence that your photo albums are receiving the care they deserve.
How Is Photo Album Scanning Priced?
Heirloom offers six photo album sizes, based on the approximate number of photographs in each album. This makes it easy to estimate your project before sending it while still allowing our specialists to verify everything during your free inspection.
Do I need to remove photos from my album?
No. Heirloom scans photographs directly from your album pages, so there's no need to remove them or risk damaging your collection. Each photo is scanned individually as a high-quality 600 dpi JPG while preserving the original order of the album.
Why is Scrapbook Scanning Different?
Photo album scanning focuses on creating individual digital images from each photograph or keepsake on the page. If you'd like to preserve the entire page layout, including handwritten notes, captions, decorations, or the arrangement of photographs, choose Heirloom's Scrapbook Scanning Service instead.
How are my digital photo albums organized?
Each album receives a unique identification number and is delivered in its own correspondingly numbered digital folder. Every photo is scanned in its original order, making it easy to browse your memories just as they appeared in the album.
Will my photo albums be AI enhanced?
No. Heirloom's photo album scanning service is focused on creating the highest-quality digital capture of your original photographs before they deteriorate further. We carefully remove the protective plastic cover, ensure each image lies as flat as possible, and faithfully preserve every photo using professional scanning equipment, optimal lighting, and 600 dpi resolution. AI enhancements and photo edits are digital processes best performed later by the content owner, allowing you to enhance copies of your photos while always preserving the original, unaltered digital capture.
