Scrapbooks to Digital Service
Send your scrapbooks to Heirloom before the stories get lost. We scan your photos, notes, and layered keepsakesconvert into high-quality PDF you can search, stream, and share. Pay only after we receive and inspect your delivery.
What types of scrapbooks can Heirloom digitize?
Heirloom digitizes all kinds of scrapbooks, including standard 12″ × 12″ bound books with decorative layouts, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, and keepsakes. Each scrapbook is handled page by page to preserve its unique design.
How are scrapbooks priced for digitization?
Scrapbooks are priced by the number of sides scanned, not by individual photos. Pages that are dynamic—such as flaps, fold-outs, or pages that open to reveal more content—are included in the side count.
What digital format will my scrapbook be delivered in?
Each scrapbook is converted into one multi-page PDF file scanned at 300 DPI. This preserves the full page layout exactly as it appears, making it easy to view, share, and store digitally.
Will the layout and order of my scrapbook be preserved?
Yes. Heirloom preserves the original order, layout, and design of every page. Nothing is rearranged or cropped—your scrapbook is captured exactly as it exists.
Can Heirloom scan thick or embellished pages?
Yes. Scrapbooks with layered photos, glued items, textured pages, or attached memorabilia are carefully scanned using methods designed for fragile and dimensional materials.
What if I want higher resolution or individual photos separated?
If you want higher-resolution scans or each photo cropped into separate 600 DPI image files, Heirloom recommends using the Photo Album Scanning Service, which is designed specifically for that purpose.
Will I get my original scrapbook back?
Absolutely. All original scrapbooks are carefully returned after scanning. Your books are treated as irreplaceable and handled with care throughout the process.
