What scan resolution do you use for photos, slides, and negatives?

We scan at resolutions chosen for each format so your digital files stay sharp for viewing, sharing, and printing:

• Photo prints: 600 DPI minimum (optional higher-resolution upgrade available for restoration or large prints)

• Slides: 4000+ DPI

• Negatives: 4000+ DPI

Exact pixel dimensions depend on the physical size of the original. Higher-resolution slides and negatives capture fine detail for enlargements and archives; 600 DPI prints are ideal for everyday use and quality reprints up to about 8×10.

Files are typically delivered as high-quality JPEGs (other formats on request) on a USB drive or download. Learn more on our photo scanning services page, or ask about photo restoration if prints are faded or damaged.
