Scan in Order
$88 per box
IMPORTANT: The quantity ordered for White Glove Services MUST match the quantity of boxes ordered.

Need your photos scanned in a specific order? Group them with rubber bands denoting the order to be scanned and our technicians will then scan your photos in that order. SCAN IN ORDER OPTION EXPLAINED: Choose this additional option if (a) you have bundled your photos into categories and they must be kept together, even if they are all the same size or (b) your entire order is not grouped by size; putting your small bundles in size order does not constitute grouping your order by size. We recommend that you include index cards with handwritten notes describing the category or year, as pictured. The number in the top right corner tells us the order in which to scan. If the bundle order is not important, we do not need the number there. We do not offer reorganize your photos in chronological order. We either follow the number in the corner or scan in random group order when no number is present. The index card will be scanned along with the pictures and will be the first image in each series of photos. DO NOT use Post-it notes (they will be either scanned on the image or thrown away) or scraps of paper (they will jam in our scanner and be thrown away). While selecting this option does override the need to organize your entire order in size order, it does not override taking all of your photos out of envelopes or having the photos in some sort of orderly fashion.
Photo Soap
$109 per box
IMPORTANT: The quantity ordered for White Glove Services MUST match the quantity of boxes ordered.

What is Photo Soap SM?

Photo Soap is the newest version of our enhancement process. New features, new name. See what the fuss is about with the all new features:

  1. ALL NEW: Face detection - The incorporation of face detection technology results in an even more robust solution to ensure exact exposure and color reproduction for what is the most viewed part of a photograph: the face.
  2. ALL NEW: Beautiful skin tones - Refinements now enable corrections that show more detail in the face with a more natural skin hue and color.
  3. ALL NEW: Greater shadow detail / Better highlights, brightening each individual pixel while maintaining real color with zero artifacts is even stronger now to draw out more details in the shadows and maintain detail in highlight areas.
  4. ALL NEW: Sharper images - A series of powerful, unique algorithms have been enhanced to deliver a crisp-looking photo that is still artifact-free.
  5. Remove abnormal tint caused by tungsten, fluorescent, Ultra Violet, and Infrared lighting
  6. Restore color vibrancy to washed out and faded photographs
  7. Optimize the exposure for underexposed photos
  8. Apply medical quality contrast and sharpness

Each image enhancement is unique and results from picture to picture will differ. Every picture is corrected differently and the software may correct some images more than others. Individual results may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I order additional services after I placed my prepaid box order?

Yes, to order additional services only click here.

Q. How do I prepare my photos for scanning?

A. For a short video on how to prepare your order please click here.

B. For guidelines on how to prepare your photos please click here.

Q. How do I get glue off of photos?

Please click here to see examples of how to get glue off of photos.

Q. I'm having problems placing an order.

Sometimes it is as simple as using a different web browser. We recommend using the most current version of Internet Explorer for PC users and Safari for Mac users. If you still have problems, please contact us via Live Support so we can instantly help you diagnose the problem.

Q. Can you scan slides or negatives?

Yes we can but the high speed scanning is only available for print scanning. We scan slides and negatives as a separate service. The cost varies depending upon quantity and resolution. For more info, please visit our slide or negative scanning sections.

Q. What resolution are my photos scanned at?

We offer scanning at 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI.

The final file size will vary depending upon the size of the original photograph. A standard 4x6 at 300 DPI usually is about 700KB -1MB in size whereas at 600 DPI ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 MB.

Many websites refer to resolution as a pixel by pixel notation.

To determine what your own picture's pixel-by-pixel resolution will be, multiply the inches by 300 DPI or 600 DPI. For example, a 4"x6" print will have a resolution of 1200x1800 at 300 DPI (4" x 300 DPI = 1200 pixels, 6" x 300 DPI = 1800 pixels) and 2400x3600 at 600 DPI (4" x 600 DPI = 2400 pixels, 6" x 600 DPI = 3600 pixels).

Q. Can you scan my photos at a higher resolution?

The highest resolution we offer is 600 DPI photo scanning which is more than adequate for nearly every situation. See https://www.scanmyphotos.com/samplescans.html for information regarding 300 and 600 DPI scanning.
