# Photo-to-Digital

Old prints, slides, and negatives, made digital.

Old prints, slides, and negatives scanned into high-resolution digital files you'll actually keep — and can finally back up, share, or print again.

Photo prints, slides, and negatives degrade a little more every year, and once they're gone, they're gone. Scanning them now preserves them at their best. Every scan gets a basic cleanup for dust and specks, and files come back organized and labeled so you can find what you're looking for.

Common questions

### How much does photo scanning cost?

Pricing is based on quantity and format — send a rough count of prints, slides, and negatives and I'll quote it.

### How long does it take?

Turnaround depends on volume, but most batches are completed within one to two weeks.

### What can you scan?

Prints, slides, and negatives of nearly any size or era.

### Can you fix damaged or faded photos while you're at it?

Yes — any photo that needs more than a basic cleanup can be added to Photo Restoration or Color Correction, and I'll point out the ones that would benefit most.

### Do I need to drop off my photos in person?

Local drop-off and [pickup](https://rmartincreative.com/service-area) is available across my service area, or you can mail prints in and get them back along with your digital files.

### Will I get my original photos back?

Yes — originals are always returned along with your digital files, whether dropped off locally or mailed in.
