Which Scanning Service is Right for Your Photos?
With our loose photo scanning service, we use automated scanners. These scanners are great for most photos, but not all! We also have several commercial flatbed scanners for photo's that the automated scanners cannot process.

What resolution is best for your photos?
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 photo scanning services in the UK. We are 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 choose the resolution that best suits their needs.
With our photo digitising service, you can be assured that your treasured photos will be scanned with the utmost care and attention, preserving the memories for many more years.
Are you intending to save & view your digitised photos on a computer, TV, mobile device? 300 dpi should be more than adequate.
If you are archiving photos or intend printing at a later date - 600 dpi is probably the resolution for you.
Preparing Your Photos For Sending
Just a few tips that will help us to get the best digital scans of your photograph:
Why Scan Your Photos to Digital?
Scanning your photos to digital is a fantastic way to preserve cherished memories. Physical photos are vulnerable to damage from fading, moisture and accidents. Digitising them creates secure, high-quality backups immune to physical deterioration, ensuring your memories are protected for generations.
Digital photos are easier to organise, edit, and share. You can quickly categorise images into folders, enhance them with editing tools, and share them instantly with family and friends anywhere in the world. They’re also more accessible and can be stored on cloud platforms, external drives, or other digital devices.
Using a professional scanning service such as ours at PicSave offers many benefits. We use high-resolution commercial equipment to ensure the best quality scans, improving clarity and detail. We can handle large volumes efficiently, saving you time and effort. Additionally, our scanning services include editing where needed as standard for colour correction and contrast, ensuring your memories are preserved in their best possible form.
