Digitise your old photos with care

At Vintage Photo Lab we transform your legacy photographic media — prints, slides, negatives, albums and home movies — into high quality digital versions

"What are we going to do with the old family photos?"
"What are we going to do with the old family photos?"

We exist to help you answer this question — saving you time, stress and worry

Whether it’s boxes in the loft, albums stacked on a shelf, or a cupboard waiting to be cleared, we take the stress away. Sometimes it’s triggered by a house move, a milestone birthday, or sorting through belongings after a loved one has passed. Whatever the reason, we make the process effortless.

We collect your photos securely, digitise them professionally, and return everything beautifully organised — preserved forever.

Professional photo scanning and family archive services

Secure collections

In London, our driver collects in person. Elsewhere, we send an Apple AirTag so you can track your photos in transit.

Safe handling

All your photographic media is handled with the utmost care, batches in order and returned exactly as it was received.

From 'to do' to Ta-Da!

So that's what we do. Help you finally tick that long-overdue task off your to do list

Peace of mind

Scanning a single photo isn’t difficult. Scanning thousands across different formats — while keeping everything safe, looked after and in order — is another matter. That’s why people trust us.

Legacy preserved

For most of us our legacy is rooted in family. We enable the story of yours, the rich history, to be preserved for generations to come.

Sharing is caring

Once your photos are digital, the fun really starts — share albums instantly with family and friends anywhere in the world.

The family hero

That’s you. Because someone’s got to do it. Take the lead, and your whole family (even those not born yet!) will thank you for safeguarding their story.
