Scan Photos, Negatives and Slides to Digital
Do you have old photos, 35mm slides or negatives that you want to scan to digital? Our photo scanning service provides a simple solution for transferring your old slides and photos to high quality digital file formats which you can download, or choose to receive on a memory stick or DVD. As photos age, their condition deteriorates over time. In digital form, these photos can easily be viewed, shared, backed up and reprinted, without the concern of degradation.
Photo Scanning
High quality scans of loose photos (without blu tack, sellotape or damage) or irregular, damaged or photos with sticky backs. We scan photos in 600 DPI resolution, which is perfect for archiving or reprinting.

How We Work
We understand that your tapes are irreplaceable, so we have designed our service around ensuring the safe transfer and return of your media. We have two methods of getting your tapes to us, we can arrange courier collection or you can post them to us yourself. Once your tapes have been converted we keep backups for 30 days after the order has been completed and return your originals along with your digital media via a tracked postage service.
Your videos are played back and digitally captured with the best equipment. Our technicians carefully monitor each transfer for optimal video quality and convert it to the digital media of your choice. In this form, your videos are easy to view, store and share.
