Digitization
Old photos, slides, negatives, and home videos, often stored in shoeboxes or on dusty VHS tapes, hold precious moments and memories with family and friends that are irreplaceable. Analog media formats were never designed to last forever and are vulnerable to degradation, being destroyed, or getting lost. Digitizing your precious keepsakes safeguards them from the effects of deterioration due to time and use. Don’t let your irreplaceable moments and memories disappear and allow them to be enjoyed for lifetimes to come.
Why Digitize Your Print Photos, Slides, Negatives, and Video Tapes Now?
- Simplicity - Digitized media can be easily shared with family and friends through email, social media, or cloud storage. They can be viewed on various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets, making it convenient for anyone to revisit memories and enjoy them whenever and wherever they want.
- Time is Money - The average person possesses around almost 3,000 photographs with scanning and editing taking up to 7.5 minutes per image. This means you could spend over 22,500 minutes, or nearly 10 weeks completing this project. That is a significant amount of time dedicated to a single task, not to mention the cost in equipment, editing software, and storage for your digital files.
- Deterioration - Digitized media is immune to fading, tearing, discoloration, and physical damage, ensuring your photos, slides, negatives, and video tapes are preserved for lifetimes to come.
- Enhanced Organization - Digital media collections can be easily labeled and organized more efficiently making it easier to find specific memories when you need them.
- Preservation - Digitization ensures your memories are safeguarded from loss due to fire, floods, or other natural disasters, by allowing you to store them in multiple locations (i.e. external devices stored in a safe or cloud storage).
