Archive & Digitize

SAVED.

Old prints, negatives and slides — back as files you can keep.

Boxes of prints, sleeves of negatives, carousels of slides — the images are already there. We scan them at the Toronto lab with the same care we give fresh film, and hand them back as files you can share, back up, and print again.

01What we digitizeFormats · GRN/TOR

If it holds a
picture, we scan it.

Most personal archives are a mix of formats collected over decades. Bring the whole shoebox — we sort, assess and quote before anything is scanned.

[01]

Prints

Loose photos, packets and stacks — from wallet size to large enlargements. Matte or glossy, black & white or colour.

[02]

Negatives

35mm, 120 and sheet film. Colour and black & white, in strips or sleeves. Scanned direct for the best possible quality.

[03]

Slides

35mm mounted transparencies and carousels. We remove, scan and re-sleeve each frame by hand.

[04]

Albums & bound

Album pages, photo books and mounted work scanned in place — no need to tear anything out.

02Handled like they matterBecause they can't be reshot
GRN/TOR · ARCHIVE

These can't be
reshot.

A wedding roll from 1974, a parent's slides, the only negative of a photograph that matters — there is no second chance if it's damaged. So archive work is handled by hand, one batch at a time, and never left to a bulk feeder.

We surface-clean where it helps, keep your originals in order, and return everything the way it came in — just with files to go alongside.

03How it worksMachine room · GRN/TOR

Assessed, scanned,
delivered.

Every archive is different, so we quote after we see it. Nothing is scanned — and nothing is charged — until you've approved the plan.

01

Bring it in or mail it

Drop your prints, negatives or slides at the Toronto lab, or ship them in. We log everything against your name on arrival.

02

Assess & quote

We sort by format, check condition, and send you a plan — resolution, formats and price — before any scanning starts.

03

Scan & clean

Each piece is scanned at archival resolution and lightly colour-corrected, with dust and surface clean-up where it helps.

04

Deliver & return

Files are delivered digitally as JPEG and TIFF; your originals are returned in the same order they arrived.

Priced by the piece

Published per-item rates below, with bulk discounts that deepen as the batch grows.

Minimum order $10. We confirm your final count and flag any special handling before scanning — nothing is charged until the plan is approved.

Volume pricing: the total quantity in each format sets a single per-unit rate for that whole batch — the more you send, the lower the rate per piece. Minimum order $10. We confirm your final count and any special handling before scanning.

Super-res Scan — 2× the base scan price. A higher-resolution option for larger prints, archiving, or more detailed files.

05What you get backTwo files per image

A file to share.
A file to keep.

Every scan comes two ways — a ready-to-use JPEG for phones, email and prints, and a full-quality TIFF for long-term archiving and enlargements.

[JPEG]

To share

Colour-corrected, right-sized files for your phone, cloud, social and everyday prints. The easy copy you'll actually use.

[TIFF]

To keep

Full-resolution, uncompressed archival masters — the copy to back up and print large from for years to come.

[DEL]

Delivered digitally

Downloaded from a private link, or brought in on your own drive. Originals returned in order at the counter or by mail.
