Your photos, slides, and tapes — hand-scanned by a named technician, overseen by your personalized concierge, backed by a full refund if you're not thrilled.
Albums in a closet. Slides in the attic. VHS tapes nobody plays anymore. Fading a little more every year — and one flood, one fire, one basement leak away from irreplaceable.
Fourteen years. One Connecticut studio. Every kit barcoded and tracked both ways — returned to the same address, every time, without exception.
Pack everything — photos, slides, negatives, tapes, reels — into one prepaid, crush-proof kit. Weeks later your originals are back on the shelf and every frame is safely in the cloud, plus a free USB or DVD of your choice.
Photos in albums and drawers. Slides and negatives in carousels and sleeves. Reels and tapes you haven't played in decades — plus audio cassettes, MiniDV, Hi-8, Super 8, DVDs, and media cards. Mix any of them in one kit — we sort, label, and scan it all. See all 40+ formats →
Sixteen times the detail of the industry default — enough to read handwriting on the back of a photo, count eyelashes, see the stitching on a wedding dress.
Enough detail to take a grandparent's wallet photo and hang it as a full-size portrait over the fireplace — no pixelation, no softness.
Orange-tinted photos from the 70s. Washed-out shots from the 90s. The color is still there — our scanners capture billions of tones, and our technicians pull it back by hand. Drag the slider to see.
Auto-feeders are faster and cheaper — they're also what creases corners and tears thin photos. We don't own one. Every single item in your kit is inspected, cleaned, scanned, and packed by a named technician in our Connecticut studio.
Photos, slides, tapes, reels, audio, and more — all in one kit.
Every item barcoded on arrival, scanned back against that barcode before it ships home. Since 2012.

“I cried opening the cloud folder — faces I hadn’t seen in forty years, sharper than the day they were taken.”
“Sent three shoeboxes and two VHS tapes. Everything came back exactly how I packed it, plus a USB with every frame.”
“Terrified to mail 60 years of slides. The weekly updates kept me sane — and they came back in better shape than they left.”
“Faster than promised. Cleaner than I expected. My grandkids are finally seeing their great-grandparents.”
“They caught water damage I never noticed on three photos and restored what they could. Went above and beyond.”
“My mother’s wedding photos in color for the first time. Priceless. Literally.”
“They called me by name every time. I’ve never felt more taken care of by a company I’d never met in person.”
“Every barcode. Every update. They treat your past like evidence — and I mean that kindly.”
“Sent tapes from 1978. Back with chapter markers and scene detection. My kids laughed for an hour.”
“The restoration on my grandparents’ wedding photo brought my mother to tears. Best gift I’ve ever given her.”
“My 94-year-old mother sat on the couch and watched her entire childhood for the first time since 1952. We all cried.”

Shipping irreplaceable photos is a leap of faith. Here's everything that keeps yours safe.
No — you have a full year from the day your kit arrives to send it back. Order when you're ready to commit; pack when you're ready to part with the photos. Most customers take a few weeks to curate what they want scanned.
Three ways, every kit: a physical USB drive (shipped with your originals), a DVD backup, and encrypted cloud storage backed up across multiple US data centers. Keep what you need, delete what you don't — the files are yours.
Every kit is a crush-proof, foam-lined box. Each item is barcoded the moment it arrives and scanned back against that barcode before it ships home. Tracked both ways via UPS. Zero lost orders since 2012.
