What resolution is best for your photo albums?
The resolution of a scanned image is measured in dots per inch (dpi), which determines the quality and clarity of the digital copy. A higher dpi results in a more detailed and sharper image, making it ideal for enlarging or printing scanned photos.
Choosing between 300 dpi and 600 dpi largely depends on how the digitised images will be used. If you plan to view the photos on a computer or share them on social media, 300 dpi is more than enough. However, if you want to create large prints, 600 DPI is recommended.
We are one of the best album scanning services in the UK, known for our high-quality scanning equipment and expertise in handling all sorts of albums and photographs. We offer both 300 dpi and 600 dpi scanning options, so customers can decide upon the resolution that best suits their needs.
With our Album scanning service, you can be assured that your treasured photos will be scanned with the utmost care and attention, preserving the memories for years to come.
300 dpi Summary
Are you planning to transfer and look at your digitised photo albums on a computer or share them with your family on social media, a TV or a mobile device? A resolution of 300 DPI should be more than enough to meet your requirements.
600 DPI in Summary
If you plan to print your digitised photos larger than the original albums or to archive your albums, then opting for a resolution of 600 DPI is recommended.

Why Scan Your Photo Albums to Digital?
Scanning and digitising your photo albums is one of the best ways to safeguard your precious memories for the future. Over time, physical photographs naturally deteriorate, becoming faded, brittle, or damaged by humidity, sunlight, or even handling. Old photos, often stored in albums or shoeboxes, are vulnerable to disasters such as floods or fires. Imagine the loss of all those memories, gone forever! By scanning your photos, you create digital backups that preserve the images and, if you want them, any captions or notes showing dates and who's who. Digitise your photo albums and you've saved the memories for many generations to come AND the freedom to share and view the memories whenever you wish.
By taking the time to have your photo albums scanned now, you’re ensuring that your treasured moments won’t be lost to time or unforeseen accidents. It’s a small investment today that can provide peace of mind and preserve your memories long into the future.
