Why You Should Have Your Old Photos Digitized

Why You Should Have Your Old Photos Digitized

Preservation

Vintage photos do not last forever. No matter how well you take care of them, old images will fade and become even more fragile as they get older.

Digitized photos, on the other hand, will never get old! Once you scan your vintage pictures, you’ll have digital copies of them that will never age or fade. You can pass them down to the next generation. With digital files, you don’t have to worry about water damage or stray fires destroying precious family memories.

Enhancement

As photos age, they fade. Accidents happen, too, where water or dirt gets on a picture and ruins most of it. However, if you digitize your photos, you can enhance them to look as new as the day you took them.

As part of our picture digitizing service, we can restore damaged and faded images to their original form. Don’t throw away that damaged photo—bring it to us. We’ll get it looking new again!

Access

Many of us don’t have enough room to put photo collections on display, so they end up sitting in a box in our basement or storage space collecting dust. Just digging them out to look at a few photos can be a chore.

However, you can access digitized photos on anyone’s phone, laptop, or tablet. You can use a cloud storage service to keep all your digital photos safe and lend the password to family and friends so that anyone can look at your favorites any time they want!

Opportunity

Digitizing photos is convenient and opens many opportunities for what you can do with your photo collection. You can’t do much with physical pictures besides framing them or putting them in a scrapbook.

Once you digitize your photo collection, there’s no limit to the crafts and things you can make! Whether you want to make a décor piece or a sentimental gift for a family member, the possibilities are endless! Some ideas for things you can make with digital photos include:

  • Digital scrapbooks.

  • Slideshows.

  • Family calendars.

  • Personalized mugs.

  • Photo jewelry.

  • Sentimental gift cards.

We could go on and on about why you should have your photos digitized, but you get the picture. Have your extensive vintage picture collection scanned and digitized to preserve them for years, share them easily, and use them to create something new!
