Hiring a Photo Scanning Service versus Scan Your Own Pictures

Our goal here is to inform you of the cost, time and equipment comparison between scanning your own photos and hiring a professional scanning service. We understand the sentimental meaning behind each photo as they are often the only visual memory behind important, wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime events. We enjoy helping our customers understand the mechanics and time behind carefully scanning each photo to be enjoyed by many generations to come!

The Cost of Scanning Your Own Photos

For an average batch photo scanner you’re looking at a minimum price of $250 which doesn’t even include the time it will take to do all the tedious work! Not to mention that investing in one of the cheaper photo scanners will only yield subpar results. Your photos will not be enhanced and the memories will seem faded. Not to mention trying to make high quality copies for friends and family will be almost impossible.

Don’t forget. Time is money. So think about everything together. Let’s say you have chosen 1,000 photos to scan. You purchase an economical batch photo scanner for $250. You set aside a few hours of your time to batch scan your photos; we’ll say five hours to get things rolling. Let’s also say that your time is worth $10 per hour (we know it’s worth more!). Your total cost for this project would end up being $300 at the minimum!

The Cost of Hiring a Professional Photo Scanning Service

Now consider the cost if you hire Scan My Pix, a professional photo scanning service. For 1,000 photos your cost would be a set fee of only $165 with free shipping! Oh, and did we mention that this price applies to quantities of 1,000 to 1,500 photos? That is a huge margin of error for miscounted photos. Having your photos professionally scanned gives you both a great deal and saves you a load of time! Now how is that for a deal?

At Scan My Pix you can choose to have your photos scanned to 300 dpi JPEG, 600 dpi JPEG or TIFF files. You are not limited to the minimal quality that cheap photo scanners offer. By choosing a higher dpi or TIFF file, you are ensuring extremely high quality images that you can easily print copies or create personalized photo items for friends and family!

We scan your pictures using a high quality Kodak Picture Saver Scanning System PS80 that is both top of the line and outside of the budget of an average American looking to scan his/her own pictures. We ensure high quality images that will outshine any photos that you could scan using your $250 photo scanner.
