Estimate Your Project

This tool helps you estimate the cost of digitizing and organizing your photographs before you get started.

Pricing is based on the number of photos and any optional services requested. Every project is reviewed before work begins, and you’ll receive a final confirmation once your photos are evaluated.

  • Photos to Digitize

    Enter the total number of photographs you’d like digitized.

    Rate:     $0.50 per photo

    Example:
    100 photos × $0.50 = $50.00

  • Optional Add-Ons

    • Back side capture (handwritten notes, dates): +$0.25 per photo
    • Tagging people or pets: +$0.25 per photo
    • Adding notes or keywords: +$0.25 per photo

      Add-ons apply only to photos where these services are requested.


  • Estimated Total

    Add your photo count and any optional services to arrive at an estimated total.

    This estimate helps determine the required deposit and whether your project is a good fit.

    This is an estimate only. Final pricing is confirmed after your photos are reviewed.

Start with a Project Deposit

To begin a project, a $50 deposit is required.

The deposit reserves time for review, handling, and planning, and is applied toward your final total once your photos are evaluated.

Deposits are fully refundable if work has not started.

After reviewing your photos, you’ll receive a final confirmation of scope and pricing before any digitization or restoration work begins.

This is an estimate only. Final pricing is confirmed after your photos are received and carefully reviewed. Each restoration photo is evaluated individually to confirm it qualifies for the selected restoration level based on its condition and complexity.

This estimate is used to confirm scope before work begins. Your $50 deposit simply reserves review time and is applied to your final total.

A note about estimates

Estimates are based on the information you provide. If additional work is discovered during review—such as photo backs not included in your count or extra organization requests—the final total may be adjusted.

You’ll always be notified and asked to approve any changes before work begins.

Before you submit a deposit

What if I’m not sure how many photos I have?

That’s common. An approximate count is fine. Final pricing is confirmed after your photos are reviewed.

What if my photos include backs, notes, or writing I want captured?

Back-side capture is available as an add-on. If photo backs are discovered during review that weren’t included in your estimate, we’ll confirm any additional cost before work begins.

When does work officially start?

Work begins only after your photos are reviewed and you approve the final scope and pricing. The deposit reserves time for evaluation and planning.

What if I decide not to move forward?

If work has not started, your deposit is fully refundable.

What happens after you submit a deposit

  • We review your photos
  • We confirm scope and final pricing
  • You approve before work begins
