Photo Restoration in Jacksonville

Bring a treasured photograph back into view.

A familiar smile. A family gathering. A photograph you thought was too damaged to enjoy again.

I restore digital images from printed photos I scan or photo files you email to me. You’ll work directly with me, from the first look at your photo to the finished digital image.

All restoration is done on the digital file. I do not repair or alter the physical photo print.

Care for the details that matter.

Age and damage can make an important photograph difficult to see. I work on a digital copy to improve its appearance while keeping its natural character.

  • Faded color, discoloration, and uneven contrast
  • Visible scratches, creases, tears, and stains in the scanned image
  • Damaged edges and missing areas where digital reconstruction is possible
  • Tone and clarity, depending on the original image

Working from a small or low-resolution file? Photos from older cameras or phones may need enlargement for restoration or reprinting. AI-assisted upscaling is available for an additional fee, discussed with your project details. It can improve a file’s suitability for enlargement, but results depend on the source image and lost detail cannot always be recovered.

I’ll review your photograph first, explain any limits, and discuss whether upscaling would be helpful before proceeding.

Would you like to add color, too?

Colorization is a separate service at $25 per image. It adds color to a digital copy of a black-and-white photograph using AI-assisted tools and manual editing. The colors are an interpretation and may not match the exact colors of the original scene.

If your image also needs digital damage repair, I can help you decide whether restoration and colorization are both needed. The physical print is not altered.

A simple, personal process

01

Share your photograph

Email your original digital file, attach a photo below, or text a preview. Tell me what you’d like improved and whether you want reprints. If you have a printed photo, arrange an appointment so I can scan it.

02

I restore it with care

I scan printed photos at 1200 DPI or work from a suitable digital file you email. All repairs and adjustments are made to that digital image. If upscaling would help, I’ll discuss the additional fee with you. Your physical print is never repaired or altered.

03

Enjoy and share it again

Receive the restored digital image by email or download. If you supplied a print for scanning, it is returned unchanged. Share digital copies with family, or ask for a separate quote for new prints from the restored file.

Enjoy your restored photo in print

A new print of your restored digital image deserves a place in your home—or makes a thoughtful keepsake to share with family. Reprinting is a popular add-on to digital photo restoration.

I work with a professional photo lab for new prints. These are made from the finished digital file; your original physical photograph is not repaired or altered.

$20 minimum print order

Pricing depends on print size, paper type, and quantity. Printing is priced separately from restoration.

Tell me the sizes and number of copies you’d like, and I’ll provide a quote. If your emailed file needs AI-assisted upscaling for the requested size, I’ll discuss that additional fee as part of your project.

My first experience digitizing pictures, and I was nervous. I came across Photo Digitizer in a search, and based on the great reviews, we tried it. I’m glad we did it! Excellent communication throughout, and a very speedy result. Prahlad even organized the pictures in a plastic bin and provided a flash drive with all the pictures. We’re very happy with the outcome and highly recommend him. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

Questions about restoring your photo

No. All restoration work is done on a digital file, either from a printed photo I scan or a digital image you email to me. I do not repair, retouch, or alter the physical photo print. Any print you provide for scanning is returned unchanged.

Many faded, scratched, torn, and creased photos can be improved. Severe damage and missing detail may limit the result. Send a preview so I can review the photograph and discuss what is realistic before you order.

The $60-per-photo service includes digital restoration and delivery of the finished image by email or download. If you provide a printed photograph, 1200 DPI scanning is included. You can also email a suitable digital file. Reprints and AI-assisted upscaling are additional services, with fees discussed alongside your project details. Colorization is a separate $25-per-image service.

Yes. Email the original digital image or attach it using the form below; you can also text a preview to get started. I’ll review the file’s resolution and condition. Older camera or phone images may benefit from AI-assisted upscaling for restoration or enlargement. If recommended, its additional fee will be discussed with you before proceeding.

Turnaround depends on the condition of the photograph and the current workload. Please share your deadline before ordering, especially for an anniversary, memorial, or other event.

Yes. I work with a professional photo lab to make new prints from your restored digital image. Pricing depends on size, paper type, and quantity, with a $20 minimum print order. Printing is separate from restoration. If the source file needs AI-assisted upscaling for your preferred size, that additional fee is discussed as part of the project.
