I have recently used ScanCafe and I am one very happy customer. I initially sent in a test batch of about 500 slides. At first, I was apprehensive about sending some of the "family jewels" to a place I had no control over. I took a leap of faith and I was not disappointed in the least. Your step-by-step status page kept me informed and marked the progress of my order as advertised. I was ecstatic when the status changed to "online" and I was able to see my scanned slides. The online clarity and crispness of the photos was far better than I could have done with my own scanner. When I received the DVDs and the originals shortly thereafter, my happiness turned to pure joy; I was looking at photos on my big screen computer that I had not seen in thirty years.

We received our converted slides from your company and are delighted. I am very pleased with our total experience on this transaction. Everything came off as you said, as to the amount of time, the cost and the quality.

WOW!!! What a wonderful job. I do a lot of Photoshop work, so I know you all really put a lot of time into my files. My dad has had them in storage for years and your results were wonderful! I have some of my own I will be sending soon. Thank you so much!!

I just received the DVD and slides. I was impressed by two things. First, my slides came back in the same banded groups and in the same Ziploc bags, and with the same Post-It labels I had put on each, just as I sent them to you. Second, the DVD was organized the same way, the scans were very good, and each JPG was titled and numbered in the same sequence, even across groups, which made it very easy for me to transfer to my PC and rename groups as I needed to.
Thank you for a very nice job. I will be readying my next set of slides for you to scan shortly.

I got my pictures and CD back last week - ScanCafe delivers on everything it promises! Great system all the way through - very easy to send everything in, the regular progress updates and online progress chart give much-needed reassurance to those of us who have entrusted you with priceless and irreplaceable photos, and the final result is exactly as promised. I got all of my pictures back unharmed, the DVD was organized into folders just as I had requested, and you easily saved me 20-30 hours of work scanning these in myself.
Great job, worth every penny, and I will be promoting your service to friends and family.
Thanks guys, and best wishes for all the success you deserve for putting together such a great service!!

After moving my mother last year, from the home she had lived in for nearly sixty years, I was left with accumulation from most all those years. Amongst everything was a box of hundreds of slides and photos, some nearly one hundred years old. Thank you ScanCafe for restoring not only the pictures, some of which were pretty damaged, but also for restoring the memories that went with those photos. You've made Christmas extra special for my mother, and all of us, this year.

I just viewed my uploads and made my choices. The viewing and check out were terrific. The viewing options were clearly presented and easy to maneuver when going from picture to set of pictures or to albums. I liked the different size options, making comparisons easier and more precise viewing (larger pictures) possible. It's all very intuitive.

I was really impressed with the thumbnails, the efficiency and above all the saving of my time. I will continue using your service to archive digitally the rest of my collection of negatives and slides. This was a brilliant idea on your part and I've been spreading the word around to my camera club and friends.

I have to admit, I was a skeptic. I read about your services in the Wall Street Journal and decided to try it out. Against what I thought was my better judgment, I sent 1000 negatives in. When the CD's came in the mail, I was thrilled. I had shots blown up to 11x17 and they were sharp, clear and bright. I'm sending another thousand negatives your way. There's probably a few more thousand to follow! The price is terrific and the results are even better. What a great way to store and protect my photos.

It was thrilling to see my old slides finally scanned into digital files that I could view on your web site. Thank you Scan Cafe for doing such a tremendous job. It was hard waiting six weeks to finally see something, but it was well worth the wait once I could view my photos on-line. I will definitely be using your service again for my next batch of old slides and negatives!

I was extremely happy with the results of ScanCafe's scans for my 40+ year old slides. I will be sending my remaining 3000+ slides to be scanned in the near future.

I am a full time professional photographer for 17 years. I recently sent an equal amount of slides to both ScanCafe, and a major US competitor. The scans came back from Scan Cafe, and every single one of them was 100% perfect. 20% of the scans from the competitor were completely unusable, and 50% of them required adjusting in Photoshop. And to make it even better, Scan Cafe was one third the price of the competitor. I was so pleased with the ScanCafe work that I am sending 900 slides in the mail to them tomorrow."

Betty S., Chicago, IL
WOW! You did an amazing job. I just had my 90th birthday, and I had pictures all the way back to the 1800's when my parents came through Ellis Island. Your services made my birthday very special. Scanning these pictures brought back so many great memories for friends and family. Heck, my grand children even got a kick out of seeing old pictures of grandma when I was a teen. I'll tell my friends to go to Scancafe!

Brian K., Ormond Beach, FL
Thank you, ScanCafe. You are congenial and cooperative people to work with. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the work you have done to preserve my first batch of slides to disk. These are fifteen year-old photographs that now look as if they were taken yesterday with a high-end digital camera. It was tough to make choices on which to keep and which to discard.
Slides were my medium for 25 years when our family was young, thus the only record we have of important family archives. You have provided me with a reasonable cost alternative to dragging out screen and projector etc. to look at a series of slide reels that were forever jamming. You can expect to receive a continuous stream of slide packages from me for conversion.

I wanted to send a special thank you for a job "well done". I sent you nearly 3000 photographs to be scanned and optimized at the worst time of the year with postal holiday's, business closures, etc! Some of the pictures were in very bad condition being over 30 years old, I did not have high expectations that they would even scan. Not only did you scan them, but the optimization you provided, made them look brand new, I did not discard a single picture! The turn around time was amazing, and the DVD disks were easy to reference, I found each picture quickly. Thank you so much for organizing the piles of pictures I have stored up over the years and preserving them for future generations.

I was so thrilled to find:1) some place that would scan all those slides my dad (91 now) had accumulated all those years so that I didn't have to, and 2) that your company did such an excellent job. I have told several friends about my good experience with your company, so if you will likely see several more customers from here!My family enjoyed the slide shows I put together for them of the old pictures. It made a first-rate gift.Thanks again.

I had 5 shoeboxes full of pictures from my days in the Navy, they were fantastic memories but they were just gathering dust up in my attic. When I first heard of ScanCafe I was a bit reluctant to ship all those memories away but, ultimately, I figured that the risk of them getting destroyed or lost in today's day and age was higher in my garage than it would be in the capable hands of UPS. So, I took the plunge and shipped them off to you - and I couldn't be happier with the results, it was one of the best decisions I have made in the last few years. The results are phenomenal, especially the restoration you did on some of the older, more worn photos. Also, your process was so simple that I have suggested it to my friends and family. You guys even put together great photobooks at no additional charge, something I wasn't expecting. Many of the most unforgettable moments in my life are now captured forever in digital format - I can't wait until Christmas to order my wife a tee-shirt with my 24 year old face printed on it!

I just received the CD of my slides which you put together for me, and I am thrilled! These are pictures of my once-in-a-lifetime trip to India, and it is almost the first time I have been able to see them. I will be back with more slides for you all to scan, just as soon as I get the India ones organized a little more. Thank you so much for the good work!

I love ScanCafe!
I am still amazed at the quality of work that I received on each slide, at no added cost. The images are actually better than when I recall viewing them after each roll of film was shot.
I can't keep my mouth shut about how wonderful these folks are. They are highly skilled imagining technicians, courteous, and truthful. Their web site states everything one needs to know ahead of time to feel 100% confident that they chose the right place to reproduce precious memories. The big surprise bonus here is the excellent quality that comes with a very low price.
I can't thank ScanCafe enough.

Wow! I'm very impressed! This level of cooperation and consideration for your customers is unparalleled. I thank you for this magnanimous gesture. I can't imagine another company in any business offering your level of help. I wish your company all the power and success. I will be preparing many more of my images for scanning by ScanCafe, as well as recommending ScanCafe to all of my friends. Thanks again.

I was initially nervous about sending my negatives in because many of them were 15-20 years old. I read your website carefully to see if there were any issues or concerns I missed. I even read the competitors websites.[ …] I am pleased to say the online experience was pleasant. It was so easy to choose the ones I wanted and discard the rest.
When I got my DVD back with the photos, I could not believe the quality of the scans! It was like I was transported back in time. It looked like I only took those photos recently when the photos were taken 15-20 years ago!
It was truly an emotional experience reliving those photos on my computer with such startling clarity and quality.

I sent out a sample of 72 slides (to test your program) and they have just come back and I am more than pleased with the results. I am collecting the next batch for mailing within the next few days. I have spread the word in our local Computer Club that I like your service. I have a HP 4050 slide scanner that works well but not the energy and time to scan the thousands of slides I have accumulated over the years, hence my next order and when I have organized them on my I-Photo program I will send some more.

I am very pleased with the scanned results of the photos I sent in to ScanCafe. I sent over 800 40-year-old photos, and they came back clear and vibrant. I have done a lot of scanning in past years and it has taken me months upon months to achieve the professional results that you gave me in a few weeks. I am so grateful for this timely and cost-effective service.

I have been very impressed with the entire ScanCafe customer service experience. As a business owner, I tend to be a very demanding customer when it comes to spending my own money. Scan Cafe did a spectacular job, from the quality of its photo digitization to its responsiveness to my inquiries -- all at a great price while providing top notch customer service. I wish all companies were up to your standards!"

I was totally satisfied with the fantastic job ScanCafe did with my 40 + year old slides! They took old dirty slides and turned them into beautiful pictures that look like they were shot yesterday with a digital camera. I will definitely use ScanCafe again and recommend the service to my friends! Thanks!

Thanks for the offer of processing my order to an external hard drive rather than 20 DVD'S, as the size of my order ended up being 74GB. I was easily able to download to my PC and I now have a backup of my photos on the external hard drive, with room for additional photos. Great suggestion, very efficient and well worth the additional cost. Thanks again to all the office staff for the exceptional service that I have received. You have a pleased customer. I have already placed a 2ND order.

A HUGE thank you for all of your hard work and help last week in gearing up for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We were able to show some of the pictures just in time, and what a hit they were! You helped bring back all those fond memories for them and everyone in attendance. Thank you again. A very happy customer....

As an addict to both scrapbooking and genealogy my family photos are worth their weight in gold to me. ScanCafe did a wonderful job in restoring damaged photos and scanning photos from the 1950s that were such a small size that they would not have been what I wanted on my scrapbook pages. Thank you for treating my precious photos so carefully and delivering such a wonderful product - so quickly - the results are amazing! I recommend your service to all my fellow scrapper and genies.

Awesome, absolutely awesome! I sent you 100 negatives that I had been saving for years and they look incredible - after reviewing them online I ordered every last one of them. And the photobook you put together is just fantastic, I couldn't be happier - I am going to order four copies of that for my immediate family. Tomorrow morning, I am going to send you all of my remaining photos and negatives. Thank you ScanCafe.
