5 Reasons to Choose Local Photo Scanning—and How to Compare Mail-In Services

I recently had a couple hundred old photos (35 mm slides) scanned and also a couple dozen photos upscaled in pixel size. The company, Photo Digitizer, owner Prahlad Delaney, completed this work in a very timely manner and the work was absolute perfection. I look forward to working with Prahlad on several upcoming projects.

What a GREAT experience! We were looking for a local company to digitize a large batch of family photos spanning over 100 years. We spoke with Prahlad, the owner of Photo Digitizer, about the process and he answered all of our questions. We package all our photos into how we would liked them scanned and dropped them off. Two days later we get an email that the flash drives we ordered were ready for pick up! The scans are FANTASTIC! Even the very old black and white photos are unbelievable. This is a great service and we HIGHLY recommend Photo Digitizer if you are looking to save your family history.

Very positive experience. I was worried about shipping my photos off to an online service, as some of the photos are over 100 years old. it was a great comfort to hand my photos to a real person and pick them up likewise. I couldnt be more pleased with the results. I created a family memory book from the 200+ photos of varied image quality, that Prahlad scanned. Prahlad cleaned them up and made them crisp and clear enough for my 11 x 14 inch memory book. Highly recommend - was an excellent experience

I can't even begin to explain the tremendous value of the service this man provides! My story is an extreme one, and from start to finish, I was treated like an absolute VIP. And before I go any further, I need to say - and I cannot stress this enough: Please do NOT assume your photo items (negatives, photographs, etc) are beyond salvaging. If you even THINK you may want to have images preserved (or brought back to life when you thought they were too far gone!), then reaching out to Prahlad is an absolute MUST. He is a master of his craft. This man rescued and restored images from crumpled, bent negatives that were lost and forgotten in a hot Florida attic for DECADES. I'm not even exaggerating. There were images on there that I could not even figure out what they were supposed to be, but he not only scanned and revived them - he made them look as crisp and vibrant as if the photos were taken this year! Prahlad has insane skills with photo restoration! And his prices are extremely reasonable for the caliber of work he delivers! And coordinating service with him was super easy – he may be the most responsive vendor I’ve ever worked with. The images he restored for me ended up being very emotional photos I had never seen before that included my beautiful mom, who passed away more than a decade ago. I will never get over the impact this experience has had on me. And no matter what photo services I need in the future, I’m never taking my business anywhere else – I’m a lifelong loyal customer.

Give this man a round of applause. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He answered every phone call, worked with me while I changed days and times, and took the time to explain everything when I honestly didn’t even know where to begin. Walking into my mom’s house and going through years of photos was overwhelming. I had no idea how many pictures I would end up bringing or even where to start, but after speaking with him I knew exactly what to do and felt completely comfortable with the process. Since I live out of town, he digitally sent everything to me before I even came back to pick them up, which was incredibly helpful. The quality was amazing, everything was beautifully organized, and you can truly tell he cares about the work he does and the memories he is preserving. Highly recommend. Professional, patient, organized, and genuinely kind.
