Reviews
ScanMyPhotos.com was featured in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Los Angeles magazine named ScanMyPhotos.com as Best Digital Photo Scans in its Best of LA 2009:
- … don’t underestimate the emotional component of this service. There’s the joy (or shock) of unearthing all those photos and showing them to people who’ve never seen them, and there’s the immense comfort of knowing that they’re all digitized and easily backed up. – David Pogue, New York Times
- If the thought of scanning thousands of pictures seems as appealing as sitting on a cactus, go to Scan My Photos. – Los Angeles
ScanMyPhotos.com
ScanMyPhotos.com began in 1990 as a small retail photo center in Irvine, California, but thanks to innovations in Kodak photo-scanning technology soon blossomed into a national, online picture preserver. Lauded by Popular Photography as the "leader in digitizing prints", featured by USA Today, and mentioned in both Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, the company artfully converts printed memories into edit-ready, 300- or 600-dpi images conveniently stored on a data DVD.
Technicians can also convert slides and negatives into digital files, restore timeworn photographs, and transfer VHS or 8mm to high-definition DVDs so that moms can preserve their child's first birthday party and dads can update the home videos where they reenacted episodes of Charlie's Angels.
