Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scan resolution of your photos?

At RVA Rewind, we’re dedicated to preserving your cherished memories with exceptional clarity and care. A digital photo file’s image resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch (DPI), and we employ various scanning methods tailored to the specific needs of your photos, slides, or negatives. Our expert team selects the optimal process to ensure the highest quality, meeting these minimum standard DPI resolutions: Photo Prints at 600 DPI, Slides at over 4000 DPI, and Negatives at over 4000 DPI. Please note, the exact measurements of the digital file depend on the physical size of the original photo.

The 600 DPI for prints delivers sharp, vibrant images ideal for viewing, sharing, or printing up to 8x10 inches. For slides and negatives, the 4000 DPI captures intricate details, perfect for enlargements or archival purposes. For customers needing even higher resolution, we offer a premium 1200 DPI option for prints at an additional cost, ideal for restoration or large-format prints. Our professional-grade scanners ensure color accuracy and sharpness, with originals returned in their submitted condition. Completed within 2–6 weeks, RVA Rewind’s digitization process guarantees your photos are preserved with precision, ready to be enjoyed by future generations.
