    What You Get 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Digitizing your photos is only based on the number of photos you send in. We count photos in groups of 25, so every 25 photos you send in count as 1 item. To learn more, visit the Pricing Page or scroll down.

How long does it take?

It can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to completely finish your order depending upon what size it is and if its during the busy season. However, we do offer expedited processing options that allow you to have your order completed in as little as 3 days!

Can I send other types of items in along with my photos?

Yes! You can mix and match as much as you'd like. We can digitize most types of consumer media, including video tapes, film, photos, and slides. For a full list of what we can digitize, visit What We Digitize.

Are there any size limitations for my photos?

No, we can digitize photos of all shapes and sizes. However, we count oversized photos differently than standard size photos. Standard size photos are any size up to 8.5x11". Any photo over 8.5x11" counts as its own separate item for billing.

Do you provide photo enhancement and restoration?

Yes! Our expertly trained technicians and innovative technology can digitally revitalize and restore your photos to a stunning quality. Photo restoration and revitalization is an option you can add after you send your photos in and is recommended if your photos are old, faded, or have washed out colors.

Which output choice should I choose?

This is really up to you and how you would like to have your digitized files. We can put your digitized files on the cloud for digital access and download, put them on a thumb drive, or burn them to data CDs. For photo digitization, we always recommend Digital Access as this makes it easy to load all your photos on all of your devices including your computer and smartphone.

Will you organize the digital photos?

Yes! This is something that only we do. If you organize your photos in groups when sending them in and label those groups, we will do the same with the digitized versions.

I'm nervous about sending my memories. What safeguards do you take to keep my memories safe?

Excellent question! We take a number of measures to make sure your memories are safe and secure from the moment they leave your possession until you receive them back from us. This includes using a special priority shipping service, an advanced internal tracking system, and more. So far, we have digitized over 1 million memories and have never lost or damaged a single one. Not one! To learn more about the safeguards we take, read this article.

What quality are the digitized photos?

We digitize all photos using specialty equipment at a high quality output. The quality is measured using DPI, and for most photos we digitize them to 300 DPI. 300 DPI is an excellent quality for most photos and will allow you to store and share these photos easily. For some larger or oddly shaped photos, we sometimes digitize at a higher DPI for better quality. Slides and negatives are digitized at 2400 DPI. Specialty digitization of photos at a certain DPI are available upon request.

How many photos count as an item?

Every 25 photos counts as 1 item. So a 2 Item Digitize Kit is good for up to 50 photos. A 10 Item Digitize Kit is good for up to 250 photos. You do not need to have an exact number of photos when sending them in. We will count all your photos when they arrive and adjust your bill accordingly.

What's included with the Digitize Kit?

The Digitize Kit is a special secure and crush-proof box we send you so that you can pack up your memories to send back to us. Included in the box is a Welcome Guide with useful information to help you pack up your memories. Also included is a Customer Card for you to fill out.

  • Preserve your Memories Forever

    Photographs can and will degrade in quality over time. Photographs are especially prone to fading, bending, and color wash-out due to the passing of time and how they were stored. Digitizing preserves your photos forever before it is too late, and our photo restoration and revitalization can fix most quality issues with your photos.

  • TheDigitizeCenter | You will receive all of your original media back, along with the digitized versions you can download from the cloud, receive on a thumb drive, or view on a DVD set. Enjoy your digitized memories forever.

    Share with Family and Friends

    Digitizing with The Digitize Center makes it easy to share your memories with family and friends. Once digitized, you can share whichever videos you like easily with the people you choose using our Digital Cloud. Send your photos straight to anyone's smartphone or email in the cloud or order additional thumb drives for more physical copies.

  • Protection from Loss or Damage

    Digitized memories are protected from loss or damage with our Digital Memory Cloud Backup. Once digitized, you never have to worry about losing your memories to an unforeseen disaster as we keep your memories backed up in our secure cloud.

Better than Expected!

It is a bit daunting to send your precious memory pieces off.....not really sure if you will get what is promised and hoping nothing is lost!
I am thrilled with the Digitize Center! Every phase of the project was clearly defined, and supported with exact directions and expectations.
It was completed in a timely manner, and I was 100% satisfied with the digitized items. All are perfect. I highly recommend The Digitize Center!

Disappointed

Two of the MP3 files taken off my old reel to reel tapes sound fine. The other two are muffled, sound distant, and are unplayable. Don’t understand why two sides of the same tape are so different

So Thankful!

I was a teenager when my mom passed away in 1996, and something told me to hang onto our answering machine tape, and I'm so glad I did. Fast forward almost 30 years, and I was able to hear her voice again, along with my Granny (what a pleasant surprise). I also had the camcorder tape of our wedding digitized and it was wonderful to be able to share it with my kids. Aside from the wonderful memories, it was a super easy process and was finished sooner than expected. I have nothing but rave reviews for The Digitize Center!

Excellent experience

Very satisfied!!! This is my third order digitizing memories. First box last year (2024) and two boxes in April 2025. April’s memories was returned in less than three weeks. The second box is a new order. I don’t expect it to take very long. Very happy with response time and quality of product.

I had some old VCR tapes put on a hard drive. The Digitize Center kept me very informed. They let me know when they received my tapes. They also informed me when they sent them back to me. And it was all a very quick process. I will definitely use the Digitize Center again.

Conversion

Having VHS tapes and no way to watch them, converting to digital was gthe solution. Thje digitize Center made it easy. Order to box, send it back with the tapes, and wait for the return with the digitized files and the original tapes. Each tapes filed individually. Easy peasey.
