Bulk Photo & 35mm Slide Scanning

If you are in Sonoma County, we will coordinate a pick up/drop off of your photographs/slides. Once the scanning process is done, we will again coordinate a day/time/place to get them back to you.

Best practice is to sort your photos/slides before you give them to us and bundle them by time frame, by event, or by category (i.e. “Italy Vacation Summer 2022” or “Emily’s 5th Birthday”).

We will use these descriptions in the file names so you can more easily find the images you want. We can enter year, month, and event in the file name if you would like (i.e. 2022_July_Italy_Vacation.jpg).

If no information is provided to name the image files we will give them a basic name (i.e. john_smith.jpg). We recommend you break them down into large groups of images rather than invividual image names since it’s impossible for us to name each one separately.

For each scanned image, you will receive two or three JPEG image files. The first is the original scanned image, just as it looks in the print. The second is the auto enhanced version. The third is a scan of the back side of the photo if there happens to be writing or information on the back.

By default, your images will be uploaded to our web based gallery system in a password protected folder. You will have 60 days to download your images from this gallery at full resolution onto your computer. We highly recommend considering permanent cloud storage, which we offer through FOREVER Storage. We can upload your images directly to your permanent storage account.

If you would prefer, we can deliver files on a flash drive (additional $30), or external hard drive (starting at an additional $100 depending on size of drive). Either of these options require sales tax to be charge on the total cost of the service and device according to California tax code.
