The 3 Best Ways to Scan and Digitize Old Photos

Do you want to digitize photos? You can easily back up and preserve old photos by turning them into digital copies with many different methods.

What is the best way to digitize photos? It depends on how many you have, your budget, what you intend to do with the photos, and how much free time you're willing to expend.

Taking the time to turn your photos into digital copies isn't as easy as leaving them in a photo album or box. Even if you love to shoot with film or hold physical memories in your hands, there are several reasons why you may want to consider converting old photos to digital copies.

  • It's easy to damage physical photos. Water damage, discoloration, and accidental tears are all legitimate concerns that could ruin your collection of photos forever. Making digital copies allows you to make as many backups as needed. Now, you never have to worry about losing your entire family history in the event of a flood or fire.
  • Photo albums, frames, and storage boxes can take up a lot of space in your home. On the other hand, you can store hundreds of thousands of digital copies on a single external hard drive the size of a deck of cards.
  • Family photos are meant for sharing. Digitizing photos ensures that no one in the family has to go without their favorite childhood memories. Every family member can have access to the entire photo collection.
  • Digital photos are easier to edit. You can correct blemishes, adjust the white balance or lighting, or crop out ex-boyfriends or girlfriends as needed. These adjustments simply can't be made to the same extent on physical photos. You want each shot to look its best.
