Prints, slides and negatives digitised with care

Keep photographs grouped in the order you want them scanned and remove loose prints from albums before bringing them in.

01

Printed Photos

Loose prints digitised for backup, sharing and reprints. Best for boxes of family photographs and one-off favourites.

02

Slides & Negatives

Older film originals converted into clean digital files. Bring the originals in store so we can confirm format and quantity.

03

Album Collections

Remove photos from albums first so each loose print can be scanned cleanly. Ideal when you want guidance before preparing a full archive.

From Original to File

Checked First. Scanned with Care.

Because format, quantity and condition vary, the store team assesses the originals before confirming the best output and timing.

01

Bring Originals In

Visit Solihull or Stratford-upon-Avon with your loose photos, slides, or negatives so the team can check the job.

02

Choose the Output

We will help you choose digital files, USB, secure link, optional reprints, or a mix depending on how you plan to use them.

03

Collect and Share

Your originals are returned with the new digital files, ready for backup, family sharing, or fresh prints.

Questions, Answered

Before You Bring It In.

Check formats, outputs and what to bring. If your job is unusual, the store team can confirm the best route first.

What resolution do you scan at?

We scan at high resolution suitable for reprints and enlargements.

Can you scan albums?

We scan loose prints rather than album pages, so photos need to be removed from albums before you bring them in.

How do I get my files?

Choose USB, email, or a secure cloud link. We can also create prints from your scans.

Planning a Big Archive?

Start with a Small Sample.

Bring in a representative group of prints, slides or negatives. We can check the format and help you prepare a larger collection properly.
