How do I convert old photos to digital?

Currently, there are a handful of ways to turn printed photos into digital ones. You can ship them off via postal mail to a scanning service, you can buy a scanner and manually scan each one by yourself, or you can use your phone to take a picture of the existing, printed photo.

Is there an app to scan old photos?

Google PhotoScan

Download the free app for Android or iOS and open the app. Line up the photo you want to scan and press the shutter button. The app then displays a white circle in each of the four corners of the photo.

How do I digitize my old photos?

If you prefer to digitize photos yourself, you can pick up an inexpensive flatbed scanner (from $69), if you don't already own one. You might also invest in a multifunction printer (as low as $49), which is usually an inkjet printer, scanner, photocopier and sometimes a fax machine, too — all in one unit.

Is it better to scan photos as PDF or JPEG?

PDF is not a good format to scan photographs with, as you have no control over how images are compressed, and editing them is much more difficult than TIFF or PNG. In general, PDF files will actually use JPEG compression anyways, without being able to even set the quality.

What is the best format to scan old photos?

We use the uncompressed TIFF format meaning that no image data is lost after scanning. TIFF is a great choice for archiving images when all detail must be preserved and file size is not a consideration. TIFF files are very large in size compared to JPEGs because no compression is used.

Is it better to scan or photograph old photos?

Scanning is simpler, faster and generally better than copying photos with a camera. The only exception is when there is a surface texture (e.g., silk surface) on the photo which requires offset lighting to overcome.
