More than a box of photos
Keep the story within reach.
Old photos deserve to be seen—not forgotten in a closet.
Forever Kept Photos carefully digitizes your collection so you can preserve family history, make easy backups, and share favorite moments with children and grandchildren.
02
Sorted collections
Sorting photos into labeled groups before drop-off saves preparation time, lowers your cost, and helps us preserve the order that matters to you.
03
Scrapbooks & more
Scrapbooks and oversized keepsakes are scanned one page at a time. When possible, pages in ring binders may be carefully removed for a clearer, more complete scan, then returned in order.
Professional photo digitizing
Photos of all shapes & sizes
Professional Kodak photo-scanning equipment handles everyday prints, while a flatbed scanner protects fragile, mounted, or oversized originals.
Quality you can see
Choose standard or higher-resolution scanning based on how you plan to use your photos—from everyday sharing to future reprints.
Thoughtful enhancement
Available tools can improve color, contrast, brightness, rotation, and red-eye. Every image can be reviewed and rescanned when needed. This is enhancement, not full photo restoration.
Simple from start to finish
A careful process for priceless originals.
Sort & label
Whenever possible, separate photos into the groups you want—such as family, year, event, album, or box—and add a simple label or note.
Choose a handoff
Arrange a convenient local drop-off. If you are not comfortable letting your photos leave home, ask about an in-home scanning appointment and custom estimate.
Enjoy them digitally
Receive easy-to-view JPEG files in clearly named folders, ready to save, copy, and share with family.
Organized & ready to enjoy
Your memories, delivered simply.
Your finished JPEG photos are organized into clearly named folders and placed on a new USB drive, ready to view, copy, and share with family.
A friendly backup reminder: We recommend keeping your photos in at least two separate places. Add a second USB copy, or save another copy to your computer or trusted cloud storage.
A new, labeled drive is provided for most collections. If your finished files require more space, we’ll confirm the larger drive and cost with you first.
A convenient extra copy for added peace of mind or for sharing with another family member.
Label your groups before scanning and we’ll carry that organization into the digital files—such as family, year, event, album, or individual photo box.
Forever Kept Photos keeps a backup for 30 days after delivery, then permanently deletes it. After receiving your files, you are responsible for keeping your own additional copies.
Choose your scan quality
The right resolution for what you’ll do next.
Higher is not always better. Extra resolution is useful when you plan to enlarge or crop a photo. For most regular prints, 300 or 600 DPI captures what you need without creating unnecessarily large files.
Everyday
300 DPI
$0.20 / photo
Best for:
- Viewing on phones, computers, or digital frames
- Sharing by text, email, or social media
- Reprinting at approximately the original size
- Large boxes of everyday snapshots
Choose Keepsake instead if you may crop the image or make a noticeably larger print.
Best for most keepsakes
Keepsake
600 DPI
$0.30 / photo
Best for:
- Favorite family and historical photographs
- Long-term preservation copies
- Moderate cropping or enlarging
- Future photo books and quality reprints
This is the practical high-quality choice for most treasured 4×6 and 5×7 prints.
Archive
1200 DPI
$0.50 / photo
Use only for specific photos:
- Very small originals you want to enlarge
- A photo that needs heavy cropping around one person or detail
- Small, exceptionally detailed prints
- A special image intended for a much larger reprint
Usually unnecessary for normal 4×6 prints. It takes longer and creates a much larger file, but cannot reveal detail that is not present in the original.
Still unsure? You can mix quality levels in one order—for example, Everyday for most of the box and Keepsake or Archive for a small group of special photos.
Help me chooseUnsorted-photo preparation adds $0.10 per photo. Scrapbooks, fragile photos, and oversized items receive a custom estimate. Large collections and referrals may qualify for discounts.
