Premium Equipment for Superior Photo Scanning

Beware of Low-Cost Scanning Services

No batch photo scanning feeders, no document scanners. Those devices can scratch and dog-ear your original photos and leave digital lines and streaks on the scans they produce. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure the highest quality for your scanned photos. If you're comparing photo scanning services and see a lower price per photo, it's because that company is using a sheet feeder.

Learn more about why sheet feeder photo scanners are bad and why DigMyPics won't use them.

Choosing the Right Resolution (DPI)

Why Resolution Matters

600 dpi is the recommended resolution for scanning your printed photos. The higher resolution is important when it comes to enlarging, reprinting, and editing the photos. For prints smaller than 4x6, you should consider having them scanned at 1200 dpi.

Resolution Comparison

At 600 dpi, you can print up to twice the original size, and at 1200 dpi, you can print up to four times the original size. A 4x6 print scanned at 600 dpi will produce a digital photo of 2400 x 3600 pixels. For comparison, a 4K TV is 3840 x 2160 pixels.

Original Size 600 DPI 1200 DPI
4" x 6" 2400 x 3600 pixels 4800 x 7200 pixels
5" x 7" 3000 x 4200 pixels 6000 x 8400 pixels
8" x 10" 4800 x 6000 pixels 9600 x 12000 pixels

Scanning Photos from Albums

Photo album with printed photos for scanning

Album Scanning Service

This is a premium service, and the price is additional to the photo scanning charges. To add the photo album scanning service, first count the photos and types in the albums and add those to the cart. Then, sum those numbers and add the total to the Remove Prints From Albums option in the cart.

Separating Photos Digitally

In some cases, we are able to scan the album page and then use software to separate out the individual scanned photos without physically removing them from the album. Please remove the binding from the album and send just the loose album pages.

Removing Photos from Album

We are not always able to separate out the individual photos from the page, and in those cases, we must remove each photo from the album. We prefer that the customer remove the prints. We do not put the prints back in their album(s) but will place them in Ziploc® bags.
