Old Photos. Big Screen. Even Bigger Reactions
“It felt like our entire family walked into the past together,” said Julie from Denver, who used ScanMyPhotos to digitize over 1,500 printed pictures before their reunion.
What started as a few photos turned into a three-hour event, filled with laughter, hugs, and stories no one had heard in years.
All you need to do is:
-
Send your printed photos, slides, negatives, and home movie film to ScanMyPhotos.
-
Receive digital files (on USB or by download)
-
Plug it into your TV
-
Watch the room light up
- Narrate, talk, and share the stories behind each picture. (pro tip: make sure you have tissues because this WILL get emotional).
No stress. Just stories, smiles, and connection.
Why It Works So Well
Digitized photos turn any living room into a memory theater. People don’t just look — they feel.
“We had cousins crying from laughter over an old camping trip,” said Anthony from Tampa. “No one looked at their phones for hours. It was the first time we all just… listened.”
This is what reunions should feel like.
