Preserve Your Printed Photos, Slides & Negatives Before They Fade
Your photos hold memories you can never replace — but they won’t last forever.
Over time, photos fade, get damaged, and are easily lost. We help you preserve and protect them digitally—so they can be shared for generations.
When it comes to photo, negative or slide scans, we get more questions about resolution and formats than anything else. Here's what you need to know ...
DPI = Dots Per Inch. This is a measurement that refers to the output resolution of a printer. 300 dpi is optimum for printing color or grayscale photos. PPI = Pixels Per Inch. This is a measurement that refers to the input resolution of a photograph or image. Film (slide or negative) is small so it requires enlargement. Here's an example: You want to print an image as 8" x 10" size at 300 dpi, then the required scanned image size is (8 in. x 300 dpi) x (10 in. x 300 dpi) = 2400 x 3000 pixels or Printing an image as 11" x 14" size : (11 in x 300 dpi) x (14 in. x 300 dpi) = 3300 x 4200 pixels
