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.

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 |
