Pro Tip: How to Measure Your Photos Before Sending Them In for Scanning
Getting your photos scanned? Here’s the easiest way to measure how many you have, so you’re ready to send them to ScanMyPhotos to get everything digitized. Ever look at a big box of old photos and think, “How many are even in here?” You’re not alone.
At ScanMyPhotos, we’ve heard this question thousands of times. Here’s a simple trick we teach our customers – no calculator required.
📏 One Inch = 100 Photos. Seriously. Just grab a ruler. If your stack of photos is about 1 inch tall, that’s roughly 100 photos.
Why? Most snapshots are printed on similar paper and weigh the same. So a tidy stack gives you a surprisingly accurate count. It works for all standard 4×6 prints.
Pro Tip: Press the photos tightly together when measuring. Gaps and curled edges can throw off the count. Click for tips to prepare your photos for scanning.
