Photo Album Digitisation Services
Scan Photo Albums & Scrapbooks
Photo albums are a wonderful way to store memories. It could be a carefully catalogued lifetime of moments, from first steps to university graduation. Or maybe that one special day that deserved a dedicated album of its own – what married couple doesn’t own a wedding album to commemorate that life-changing day?
But after a lifetime of treasured moments, those shelves of photo albums can start to become a burden on your space, and if they are relegated to a mouldy corner of the attic, they are in danger of getting damaged. Preserve your albums and scrapbooks for future generations by converting them into a secure and compact digital album in your preferred format, whether that’s on a memory stick, DVD, or in a cloud-based album you can view anywhere.

EachMoment can take your photo albums and give them a new life in whatever form you choose, preserving that story exactly as you want it to be told.
Scan Pictures Individually
One digital image file will be created for each image in the album. We take delivery of the entire album, take scans of the photos and crop each digital image to the correct size.

Each page becomes a digital image file. We use industry-grade scanners to take a high-quality image of each page as a whole. This option is ideal for albums with extensive annotations or physical mementos such as postcards.

How We Digitise Your Albums
Preparation and Care
We take the utmost care with your photo albums. Cleaning is done on a case-by-case basis. Where images are damaged or adhesives have been applied, careful use of chemicals may be necessary. For most albums, gentle residue and dust removal is achieved with air guns, microfibre cloths, and brushes.
Editing and post-processing
In post-processing, digital tools clean up scratches and other imperfections. Subtle colour correction and restoration methods are used to recreate the authentic quality of the image.
Why should I digitise my photo albums?
Unfortunately, photographs cannot last forever. If your albums are in a storage space like the shed, garage, or attic, they are vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, water damage, and mould. Older developing processes used less stable dyes, meaning prints made before the 1980s are likely to degrade faster, particularly coloured photos.
Many albums use adhesive pages and films that can damage the photos over time. Chemicals in the glues and coloured paper can stain and decompose the images, increasing the rate of deterioration.
