Choose the right scan for your photographs
Family Media Transfer digitizes your collection in Minneapolis. Start with the options below, then build an estimate with your quantities and delivery preferences.
Current options and base prices
| Service option | Price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (600 dpi) | $0.99 USD | per photo |
| Archival (1200 dpi) | $1.49 USD | per photo |
| Premium (2400 dpi + TIFF) | $2.25 USD | per photo |
| Oversized (larger than 8x10) | $2.75 USD | per photo |
These are digitizing prices. Optional physical drives, additional work, shipping and tax are separate where applicable. Digital delivery is included and your originals are returned. Your estimate shows the options and eligible volume savings for your project.
Which option fits my collection?
Choose a resolution based on how you plan to use the files. Standard, Archival and Premium are separate options; the Premium option includes TIFF. Prints larger than 8 × 10 inches use the oversized option rather than an ordinary loose-print price.
Estimate the number of individual photographs, keeping family groups and captions together. Album pages, stuck prints and fragile materials need a conversation before you assume standard loose-print pricing. Leave anything that resists removal in place.
See worked costs for 100, 500 and 1,000 photos. For transparent originals, compare mounted slide scanning and negative scanning.
Where can I drop off my collection?
Choose an FMT counter in Bloomington, Golden Valley, Eden Prairie, Northeast Minneapolis, Maple Grove or Forest Lake. Check the six drop-off locations and current hours before visiting. For a shipped project, see how mail-in ordering works.
