Photo album scanning

Digitise your photo albums — page by page, or photo by photo.

Photo albums hold the heart of a family story. We digitise albums of all ages and styles, handling each one with care so the compositions, annotations and original narrative of the album are preserved — whether that’s a delicate scrapbook from the 1950s or a flip-style album from the early 2000s.
‍

Because albums vary hugely, we’ve made our pricing and process as simple as possible, based on two clear categories: Traditional Albums and Removable Albums.

‍

1. Traditional Albums

(Scrapbook-style albums with photos stuck to each page)
‍‍

These are the classic albums where photos are glued or mounted onto the page.

Option A: Page-by-page scanning (most popular)

We scan the entire page, starting with the cover, to retain the layout, warmth, and storytelling of the original album.
‍

• £1.50 per page
• £1.95 per page for 600dpi
• Valid for albums up to A3 (larger sizes quoted individually)

This method preserves the original composition exactly as it appears in the album — charming, characterful, and ideal for digital browsing.

Option B: Individual-photo scanning

Prefer the individual photos instead of the composed pages?
We carefully lift each photo and scan them one by one, keeping everything in album order.

• £1.20 per photo
• £1.56 per photo for 600dpi

Best for customers who want each image digitised cleanly and cropped individually.

2. Removable Albums

(Albums where photos slide in and out of pockets/sleeves)
‍

If your album contains plastic pockets or flip-pages where each photo slides out easily, we treat these as loose photos.

Option A: We remove and replace the photos for you

We will:
‍

• Remove each photo
• Scan it
• Place it back in its exact pocket
• Keep everything in precise order

Because this process takes considerable human time, there is a handling fee:

• 30p per photo handling
• Plus loose photo scanning pricing (20p–£1.20 depending on volume)

Option B: Remove the photos before sending (no handling fee)

If you prefer, simply remove all photos before collection.
Most customers place each batch in a labelled envelope.
‍

We will keep everything:
‍

• In sequence
• Clearly grouped
• Digitally foldered exactly as described on your envelopes

Loose photo pricing applies automatically.

‍

‍

How to Prepare Your Albums

You don’t need to reorganise anything.

• Keep each album intact
• Tell us if you prefer page scans or individual photo scans
• If sending removable-album photos loose, label envelopes clearly
• Do not write numbers on the back of photos — inks often transfer permanently
  ‍

We’ll take care of the rest.
