Photo scanner equipment will help you scan photos to digital format one at a time. Each scan will produce a new JPEG file. It requires lots of work but generally gives good results. However, you will pay for good quality digital memories because these machines cost $300 or more. For example, the popular and reputable Epson FastFoto costs $499.99. If you want a more affordable option, then a standard flatbed scanner can work, but the results won’t be as professional in appearance. .

Pros

• Typically decent quality DPI resolution (depending on the machine)
• Creates JPEG files, which typically have good detail and color

Cons

• Expensive, especially for the best photo scanning service equipment
• Time-consuming because you must complete each scanned image separately
• You will have to remove each photo, which means you potentially damage old photos

You can use a digital camera or smartphone to take digital images of your physical photos. It’s fast and affordable because you can conveniently perform the scanning routine at home with items you already have. However, the digital copy will end up looking worse than the original photograph because it will pick up glares, dust, fingerprints, and other inconsistencies. It will also reduce the quality and produce a lower-resolution DPI.

Pros

• Affordable (if you already have a camera)
• Convenient and you can do it yourself

Cons

• Low-quality that looks different from the original family photo
• Will show glares, dust, scratches, and debris
• Harder to crop so you may cut out some of the picture or show surrounding areas

Photo scanning apps like Photomyne take advantage of your smartphone technology to scan your photos better than simply using your camera, but the quality of the scans will depend primarily on the quality of your phone’s camera, lighting conditions, and your skill level. Plus, it’s a very time-consuming process to create each digital image one by one.

Pros

• Affordable as long as you own a smartphone with a decent camera
• Affordable and simple do-it-yourself process

Cons

• Time-consuming, especially if you want single images
• Quality depends on many factors including the quality of the camera, lighting and surroundings, and user skill
• May show more glares, dust, reflections, and other frustrating imperfections
