BEST PHOTO SCANNING SERVICE IN 2022 (HOW TO DIGITIZE OLD PHOTOS)

Excerpt: Another popular photo scanning service is ScanMyPhotos, which has a great reputation for an efficient turnaround, a wide selection of services, and good final image quality. While some scanning services are known to take up to a month to deliver your digital files, ScanMyPhotos can get your images scanned and returned in just over a week, so if you need the files with relative urgency, this service is a solid choice. You’ll need to ensure your photos are well organized before sending them in, as they won’t accept the order if they’re disorderly. Also, if you have media other than photos (e.g., movies and negatives), they won’t be able to help. On the plus side, there’s a good selection of prepaid scanning boxes to choose from, including the “Family Generation Collection,” which allows customers to send up to 10,000 photographs at once. Prices and delivery options might be uneconomical if you only have a handful of photos to scan, but for those with extensive archives to convert, ScanMyPhotos has earned a reputation for being quick and with decent results.
