Scrapbook Scanning Services
Your scrapbooks hold more than photographs. Many scrapbooks contain personalised handwritten notes, captions, cards, decorations, and carefully arranged pages, all of which tell the story behind your memories. Our professional scrapbook scanning service preserves complete scrapbook pages in high-quality digital files that are easier to view, share, and protect.
Our experienced technicians carefully scan your scrapbook pages using professional equipment, with 300 dpi and 600 dpi options available. You can even choose to have individual photographs scanned from your scrapbook saved as separate digital files.
Why Digitize Your Old Scrapbooks?
Scrapbooks are often filled with one-of-a-kind family memories that can’t simply be replaced. Alongside photographs, they can contain handwritten messages, newspaper clippings, cards, tickets, artwork, and other keepsakes collected over many years.
But physical scrapbooks can be difficult to copy and share, and repeatedly handling older albums can put delicate pages and photographs at risk.
Professional scrapbook scanning allows you to:
- Preserve complete scrapbook pages digitally
- Protect photographs, notes, captions, and other keepsakes
- Reduce the need to handle aging scrapbook pages
- Share family scrapbooks with relatives and friends
- Create digital backups of irreplaceable memories
- View your scrapbook memories on modern devices
- Preserve the original layout and story of each page
Instead of leaving treasured albums stored away, digitization makes it much easier to revisit and share the stories inside them.
Professional Scrapbook Scanning for Albums & Keepsakes
Our scrapbook scanning service captures the complete page, preserving photographs alongside the handwritten notes, captions, decorations, and keepsakes that give them context.

How Much Does Scrapbook Scanning Cost?
Scrapbook scanning is priced per page side, making it easy to estimate the cost based on the size of your collection and the resolution you choose.
Scrapbook Scanning Pricing
- 300 dpi scrapbook scanning — $1.79 per page side for online orders
- 600 dpi scrapbook scanning — $2.29 per page side for online orders
- Individual Photo Breakout — $0.75 per photo for online orders
The total price will depend on the number of pages you’re having scanned, your chosen resolution, and whether you would like individual photographs saved separately.
Additional delivery options or services may also affect the final cost of your order.
300 dpi vs. 600 dpi Scrapbook Scanning
Not sure which scanning resolution to choose? Both options provide a convenient way to preserve your scrapbook, but the right choice depends on what you’d like to do with the finished files.
300 dpi Scrapbook Scanning
300 dpi is a practical option for digitizing scrapbook pages that you primarily want to view, store, and share digitally.
It provides a clear digital copy of the complete scrapbook page while keeping file sizes manageable.
600 dpi Scrapbook Scanning
600 dpi captures more image information and is better suited to customers who want higher-resolution digital copies of their scrapbook pages.
It can be particularly useful when preserving detailed pages or when you want greater flexibility with your digital files.
If you’re unsure which resolution is right for your scrapbook, our team can help you choose before your order is processed.
Save Individual Scrapbook Photos as Digital Files
Sometimes you want to preserve the scrapbook exactly as it was created. Other times, you also want easy access to the individual photographs inside it.
With our Photo Breakout option, you can do both.
Your complete scrapbook page is scanned to preserve its original layout, while individual photographs can also be saved as separate digital image files.
This makes it easier to:
- Share individual photographs with family members
- Organize specific images into digital folders
- Use photographs in new albums or family projects
- Keep standalone digital copies of important images
- Enjoy the original scrapbook design alongside individual photos
You don’t have to choose between preserving the scrapbook page and digitizing the photographs it contains.

Once your scrapbook scanning is complete, you can choose the delivery option that best suits how you want to store, view, and share your memories.
