Photographs are a simple way to hold on to past memories. Since photographs are precious, it would be terrible to lose them. The best way to preserve your printed old photographs is to get them scanned.
And what if you think loads of these digitized photos are duplicates? They will only be creating more mess and eating up valuable storage space on your Windows (or Mac). Manually locating and deleting duplicate photos is doable, but not if the number of photos involved runs in hundreds (or beyond). That is where you can rely on Clone Files Checker for its accuracy.

Since scanning photos yourself might be a very time-consuming and monotonous task, in this article, we will refer to some of the top photo scanning services in the US, and mainly in California’s areas like San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Francisco Bay Area.
- Digital Roots Studio – San Jose
Having been into the business since 2012, the Digital Roots Studio has become quite an expert when it comes to photo scanning services. From loose photos to oversized photos and from scrapbooks to newspapers, Digital Roots Studio deals in scanning several types of materials. If you get a 5×7 photo scanned from them in 300PPI, it will cost you $0.59 for a raw scan and $0.69 for a pro scan.
Additionally, they offer multiple output options. For instance, you could get your digitized files in a data disc for $5, a USB for $0.05 per photo, or you could get a web upload, which will cost you only $2 per 1GB files. I know they’re not the cheapest but it’s a lifetime investment.
