Preserving Your Memories with Precision & Care at USA Imaging, Inc.

At USA Imaging, photo scanning isn’t just a service—it’s part of our daily mission. Every day, our skilled technicians handle thousands of printed memories: faded family photos, wedding portraits, baby pictures, military keepsakes, and more. These aren’t just snapshots—they’re personal legacies that deserve to be preserved, protected, and passed on.

Why Scan Your Photos?

Over time, printed photographs fade, discolor, stick together, or get damaged from humidity, light exposure, or mishandling. Digitizing them now means you preserve their quality—and the stories they represent—for decades to come.

With digital copies, your memories are:

  • Safe from physical damage (flood, fire, aging)

  • Easily shareable with friends and family

  • Organized for quick searching and retrieval

  • Ready for slideshows, gifts, or digital frames

What Makes Our Photo Scanning Process Different?

We specialize in high-volume, high-quality scanning using state-of-the-art flatbed and photo-feed scanners designed to protect even the most fragile prints. Whether you bring us one shoebox or twenty, we treat every photo with white-glove care.

Our photo scanning includes:

  • High-resolution scanning (600 DPI or higher available)

  • Color correction (optional)

  • Cropping and orientation correction

  • File naming and folder organization (when requested)

  • Secure delivery via USB or cloud download

We accept a wide range of formats—from standard 4x6 prints to odd-sized images, Polaroids (modern only), and panoramic formats.

Daily Efficiency with Human Attention to Detail

We don’t outsource. Everything is done in-house at our secure San Diego facility. We scan all day, every day so you don’t have to wait weeks for your digital files. Turnaround is typically 3–7 business days depending on volume, with rush services available.

Each project goes through a multi-point quality check to ensure every image is sharp, correctly oriented, and free from scanning errors.

How to Prepare Your Photos for Scanning

To help speed up the process and reduce handling time, here are some preparation tips:

  • Remove all photos from albums and envelopes

  • Avoid sticky notes, paper clips, and staples

  • Group photos into categories if organization is needed

  • Lightly wipe dust off photos with a lint-free cloth

  • Place index cards to label groups (optional for scanned categorization)

We’ll take it from there.

Real Clients, Real Results

We’ve helped families preserve generations of photos—from WWII service albums to 1970s birthday parties. One recent client brought us over 10,000 prints scattered across 15 boxes. After scanning and categorizing them into digital albums, they were able to create a surprise 60th anniversary video gift for their parents—something that would have been impossible with paper alone.

Ready to Preserve Your Past?

Digitizing your photos is more than a task—it’s an investment in your family’s legacy. Whether you want to preserve your history, create a digital archive, or simply declutter your space, USA Imaging is ready.
