Digitising photos and videos offers numerous benefits. It preserves precious memories, prevents loss from disasters like fire and flood, and puts an end to washed-out colours and degradation that vintage media suffers from. Here are some other benefits:

• Easy Backup and Share: Easily save your media to the cloud and share with loved ones.
• Get Organised and Reduce Clutter: Organising and storing your media will be easier once it has been digitised. Images and videos take up less space and you'll have instant access to everything. Searching for a particular image will be a breeze.
• Unleash your creativity: With the right software you will be able to edit your photos and movies. You'll also be able to create digital photo frames, personalised greetings and gifts and make photo books, mugs, and more.

We can digitise Photos, Negatives, Slides - Even Documents, Certificates and Children's art. And be sure to check out our pages for converting Home movies and Videos, We recently introduced a new service: converting DVD to MP4 (something to consider now that DVD players and drives seem to be going the way of VCRs).

Thanks to AI abd new technology our services start at just 20p per image. See price list for full details. TIP: Friends and family may contribute to costs (especially if they will benefit from their own copies).

In photography and video, "analogue" refers to the pre-digital way of capturing and storing images on film or tape instead of memory cards. It's like the vinyl record era of pictures and movies - warm, authentic, and hands-on. Each photo or video existed as something you could hold, giving analogue media a special charm that digital can't quite replicate.

DPI (Dots Per Inch) or more accurately PPI (Pixels Per Inch) are measurements of image resolution. 300 DPI is suitable for viewing on devices such as phones and laptops and making prints at the original image size. 600 DPI allows for larger prints but costs a little more and takes up more storage. TIP: You can see the difference between 300 and 600 DPI by taking advantage of our Trial Offer (see pricing page).

Remove photos from frames and mounts. Photos stuck in albums or on stiff backing need to be scanned individually. See flat-bed price list.

We'll do our best to keep your photos in the order we receive them. But remember they will be easier for you to organise once digitised.

Notes on the back of photos can be helpful when you are organising and titling your collection, that's why we scan these for you, free of charge.

Colour and Contrast enhancement and correction is included in the scanning price. For more extensive repairs, we can provide a quote.

Our equipment automatically counts your photos as they're scanned. However, if you'd like a quick way to estimate the total cost, a stack of about 40 regular photo prints makes a pile roughly half an inch thick. So, for example, a stack of photos 2½ inches high would mean you have approximately 200 photos.

You can order additional DVDs or USB sticks with your main order. But remember once digitised, you will be able to make unlimited free copies yourself.

If you can't deliver your images in person, services like parcelcompare.com and interparcel.com will help you choose a delivery service and compare prices. We'll confirm receipt of your parcel and the likely completion date.

Your digitised media will be on a DVD disk, a USB Flash Drive or Digital Download (downloaded directly to your internet-connected device). Your photos will be in JPEG format, and viewable on devices like iPads, Laptops and Smart TVs. USB flash drives need a USB port; DVDs need a DVD player, a computer with a DVD drive, or a games console such as PlayStation or Xbox.

Of course! they are your images after all. We don't 'hobble' your files with 'copy protection'.

I keep a copy of your digitised files for 30 days after you've received your order. This gives you a comfortable window to make your own backups. Hopefully, you'll never need these short-term copies — but it's reassuring to know they're there, just in case a 'master file' goes missing or gets damaged. Note: Video and image files are quite large, so I do have to clear them out from time to time - otherwise my hard drives would soon be bursting at the seams!
