Our Services
Our basic service aims to provide you with the peace of mind that your photographs and film are well-preserved and safe from deterioration. Using a non-destructive process, we scan your photos and 35mm film into a digital file. We will return your photos and film in the same condition that we receive them. If shipping a photo album, we will remove your photos with care. Because photos must be removed from the album for scanning, it may not be possible to return the album in original condition. If the album cannot be returned in its original condition, we will contact you before proceeding. If you are in the Kansas City Metro Area, we can arrange pick up and delivery at no additional charge.
We can digitize printed pictures up to medium format pictures, including 8×10 prints. For larger sizes, we can work with clients to identify optimal scanning techniques for their needs. In terms of scan resolutions, our aim is to provide high resolution scans. We can digitize at a resolution of 7728×5152 pixels in a 16 bit raw format (RAF) or a TIFF format at up to 600 dpi in 16 bit color or grayscale.
We can digitize various film formats in color or black and white, including: 35mm film, 35mm slides, 110 / 126 film, 120 / 220 medium format film, 4x5, and 8x10 sheet film.
Our pricing is as follows:
Printed pictures and film frames:
Option 1 (up to 50 photos/film frames): $14.99
Option 2 (up to 150 photos/film frames): $37.99
Option 3 (up to 450 photos/film frames) : $89.99
To order, please first indicate the scanning package from the pricing table above and then in the “Quantity” section indicate the number of scans. If you require more than 450 photos or film frames, please write to us using our website’s contact information. We are happy to send you a custom invoice.
Our photo restoration service aims to digitally restore, to the extent technically possible, your family photos to a recognizable state and when possible to a printable quality. Restoration services are tailored to the individual photo, and our pricing reflects the different tiers of restoration. Restoration can be as basic as removing scratches, wrinkles, and dust. We can also change the aspect ratio of the photo at no extra cost and provide basic colorization, if desired. For more customized projects, we work with clients to understand their restoration needs and offer a competitively priced package of services. We can also provide high-quality prints of restored photos.
Pricing varies depending on the type of restoration desired, the amount of time needed for the restoration, and the number of photos to be restored. The prices listed below are a reference and may vary depending on the photo characteristics highlighted above. Our pricing is transparent, so we will not begin any work on your photo(s) until informing you of any potential price variations and then obtaining your consent. Scanning is included in the restoration cost. We offer the following options:
Basic restoration ($29.99/photo): Basic removal of scratches, dust, and wrinkles, as well as basic contrast and decolorization adjustments. The aim of this service is to return the subjects to a recognizable state.
Full restoration ($49.99/photo): This includes more detailed removal of scratches, dust, and wrinkles, as well as more time spent on adjusting contrast and colors. The aim of this service is to deliver a printable photo.
For prints larger than an 8×10, more time is required for restoration. Depending on condition and complexity, this may add $2.00 to $5.00 per print at the basic and full restoration.
For all projects, we aim to return your restored photos in as little as 2 weeks, but no later than 4 weeks.
We can provide prints of any pictures that we digitize or restore. Our standard sizes and prices are as follows:
4×6 - $0.45
5×7 - $3.79
8×10 - $8.79
8×12 - $10.79
If you require a larger or smaller size and it is not listed above, please reach out for a quote.
