How it works

Four simple steps from shoebox to screen.

Hands holding open an old family photo album
Albums, envelopes, shoeboxes — we take them however they come.
  1. You give us your photos

    Hand them over in whatever shape they're in — albums, envelopes, or a shoebox in the closet.

  2. We scan them by hand

    Every photo is scanned individually in high resolution, so the details stay sharp.

  3. We organize them

    Your images are sorted into neat, clearly named digital folders you can actually find things in.

  4. You get everything back

    Your new digital copies arrive on a USB stick or download link — along with every original photo. All within two weeks, not the 6–12+ weeks the big mail-in services quote.

What's included

Every package comes with all of this.

A family business, in every sense

Pixelated Past is run by our family, from our community. We started because our own shoeboxes of photos were fading, and we knew every attic nearby had one just like them. When you hand us your photos, they're handled the way we handle our own — one at a time, with clean hands and full attention, by people you can actually call on the phone.

— The Pixelated Past family

Why trust us

Your photos never get shipped across the country. We treat them like our own.

Every photo is scanned by hand at 600 DPI — one at a time, never fed through a bulk machine.

Our guarantee: not happy with a scan? We'll redo it free.

The fine print (except it's not fine print)

We read the reviews of the big mail-in scanning services so you don't have to. Here's what we promise instead:

Questions?

How long does it take?

Two weeks from the day we receive your photos — for most orders, faster. The big mail-in services typically quote 4–6 weeks and often take longer.

What happens to my original photos?

They stay with us, handled by hand, until you get every single one back alongside your new digital copies. Nothing is ever shipped across the country to a warehouse.

What if I'm not happy with a scan?

We redo it, free. Simple as that.
