Future-Proof Your Memories With Our Expert Photo Scanning Services
"I was a little leery about having my pictures digitized, as one company had already done a poor job for me. This entire process at nostalgia was a pleasure. Easy to talk to, with a site that's easy to use, and the quality of the pictures on the disc was excellent. I have a great deal more I will have done with this outstanding company." - Patrick K.

"Very thrilled
with the outcome of the 70 year old slides that you converted to digital files for me. The end product was a lot better than I expected. This was the first time I have seen pictures of my father from when he was a young boy in the 1950s. He passed last year and these keepsakes are very treasured."

"I was very pleased
with Nostalgic Media. First, leading up to placing my order, I called them and got someone on the phone immediately, no 1 minute recording. My questions were answered and I submitted my material and payment. The sending was quick and I was notified of shipping dates. Would use their services again."
Tom R. -
"Nostalgic media delivered
just as they advertised. They converted my 55+ year old 8mm reels into digital media and now my family can relive some golden moments that I had feared were lost to memory. They were fast and gave me a product better than what I had hoped for. I recommend them without hesitation."

Common Questions About Our Photos to Digital Service
-
No. We do not offer printing services. Once we have scanned your photos, you can have prints made at another location from the digital files we provide you.
-
We cannot guarantee the order of individual photos, but in some cases, yes. For the hi-speed scans we must scan similar sized photos together, so if your photos are the same size then we should be able to maintain the the order you give us the photos in. Use a rubber band to bundle each stack of photos together and number each bundle. If your photos are a variety of sizes that are mixed or require flatbed scanning, we are unable to keep them in order.
-
Our standard hi-speed scanning resolution is 300 DPI. This is the perfect resolution if you are planning to save and view your photos on computer and phone screens. This resolution will also allow you to make quality prints from your scans. Our custom scanning resolution is 600 DPI. If you are planning to make enlargements of your photos larger than 11x17, this resolution will allow you to do so. Learn more about DPI.
-
Average turnaround time is 7 business days in-house. Allow longer processing times during the holidays.
-
We are able to scan loose photos only. Please ensure that any photos contained in albums are removed before sending them to us.
-
Yes. All original media will be returned with your completed order.
