Need a Unique and Emotional Gift? Surprise Everyone on Your List With Their Lifetime of Newly Digitized Photos From ScanMyPhotos.com

IRVINE, Calif.–ScanMyPhotos, the e-commerce photo digitization service that preserved one billion pictures, today introduces Egift Certificates.

She expected a simple email. What she didn’t expect was the rush of memories that followed. Photos of her parents before she was born. A birthday party she barely remembered. Faces she hadn’t seen in decades. All of it suddenly alive again. Some gifts surprise people. Others stay with them. This one does both.

Why Photo Scanning Feels Different From Every Other Gift

Photos are not objects. They are evidence. Evidence of love, family, youth, and moments that only existed once. They remind us where we came from and who mattered along the way. Yet most families keep those memories tucked away in boxes and albums. Prints fade. Slides sit untouched. Film waits quietly until time does what time always does. Once those images are gone, there is no replacement.

That’s why giving someone the chance to digitize their photos feels so personal. It is not about nostalgia alone. It is about preservation.


Get your here. eGift certificates for everyone on your year-round gift list.

What Happens After the Gift Is Opened

Recipients visit ScanMyPhotos and choose what they want digitized, including photo prints, 35mm slides, film negatives, and other formats that have been sitting quietly for years. One of the most popular options is to send a box filled with hundreds of photos. The images are carefully digitized so they can finally be viewed, shared, and safely backed up for the future. For many people, the surprise is not just seeing the photos again but realizing how much of their story was waiting to be rediscovered.

Care That Shows in the Details

All work is performed on site at the company’s headquarters in Irvine, California. Originals are never outsourced. Photos, slides, and negatives are handled by seasoned photo archivists who understand that these are not just images, but irreplaceable pieces of someone’s life. When the process is complete, digital copies are returned along with the originals, ready to be enjoyed again without fear of loss.

Why People Remember This Gift

Long after the moment has passed, this gift keeps resurfacing. In family conversations. In shared albums. In messages that start with “I forgot we even had this photo.” It becomes part of a family’s story. That is what makes it unforgettable.
