Why Digitize:
If you have old photos, slides or negatives of family events and other memorable occasions stored in drawers and old shoe boxes, let us help you archive these precious memories in a safe and secure way through our photo scanning service. Photo scanning allows you to share such memories with friends and loved ones through social media websites. They can also be printed into vibrant prints and turned into gifts, enlargements and photo art that can be displayed around the home.
Our process:
Our photo scanning service allows you to digitally preserve your memories forever. Each photo is scanned by hand to ensure the best quality. We primarily work with local clients, offering free pick up and delivery to make the entire process easier for you, and more importantly safe for your memories!
Albums & scrapbooks:
Westside Video Service specializes in photo album and scrapbook scanning. These are some of the most treasured and unique family items that exist. They come in all shapes and sizes and are often very delicate. We use a human touch from start to finish in order to create the best possible digital version of the photo album or scrapbook. We offer a free consultation in order to view your albums and provide an accurate estimated cost and delivery date.

formats and resolutions explained:
DPI: 300 DPI is fine for most photo scanning orders, but if you want a true archival quality image or plan on printing at sizes larger than the original then 600 DPI resolution option is for you. You’ll get 4 times the amount of data.
JPEG vs TIFF: TIFF files are lossless (no compression). They are larger in size but will not lose any quality or clarity when edited and saved repeatedly. JPEGs, on the other hand, have compression and will lose a small amount of quality and clarity each time they are saved. However they are smaller in file size making them easier to share with friends and family.
