Why Scan My Slides?

Your photos are important to you and your family and there's no better way to protect, share and enjoy your photos than to convert them to digital.

Digital is forever. An investment in digitizing your photos is money well spent not only for the peace of mind it can provide but for the many new uses you'll discover for those old photos and the new smiles you'll create by sharing and enjoying your memories in a more contemporary way.

What Are My Slide Scanning Options?

Digitizing your memories is not a one size fits all kind of process. We offer a lot of different options so you can customize the process to your needs. You are encouraged to give us a call or send us an email so we can discuss those options with you and ensure you are getting exactly what you are expecting.

• Have your scanned images stored on CDs, DVDs data discs, or both.
  
  
• Choose a resolution of 2000, 3000, or 4000 dpi
for your slides. All of these resolutions result in high quality scans, but beware! More isn't always better! Select a DPI that fits your project goals. Learn more about resolution and dpi on our Resolving Resolution page, or contact us! We'll be happy to help!


• We scan and enhance all your slides in lossless TIFF format, so you never have to pay extra to just get your images in TIFF format. You can choose to get your images back as JPEG, TIFF, or both!
  
  
• Add a Thumbnail Album to your order to make finding a specific image really easy!



• You can choose to have your slides put back in archival storage boxes or slide sleeves, and then have the sleeves neatly organized in a 3-Ring Box Album. If you order our archival storage for your negatives when you place your scanning order, we'll place your negatives in your new storage products as we scan for no additional charge! Then, when you get them back, they are neat, organized and ready to store.



• Make a Slideshow Movie DVD from your slides! Watch the movie on your TV or on your computer! You can even add titles, chapter points, and your own music to make your Slideshow Movie special!



After your slides are scanned, you can choose to keep them safely stored online by signing up for an Expo subscription.
