We scan your

Old Photos

We start at 600dpi (small pics at 1200dpi) with Free back-of-photo scan and free additional automatic colour enhancement photo (all for 20c per photo - that's $200 for 1000 photos). We do it from our 🏠 Home (who needs an office these days).

We don't scale price, it's one price with 2 free extras, in Brisbane, by Australian's. We also don't scan negatives, they're scarily brittle and hard work.

STEP 1: Remove your photos from your albums. But be careful, old photos are delicate. Read this great blog to get some ideas on how to do this safely.

STEP 2: Sort them: by physical size, events or dates. we scan in the order we receive.

STEP 3: Book in and Drop off. email us at enquiries@drawinglight.net to book in a date, and drop them off at our home 🏠 office. Pay via Direct Transfer, Cash on Delivery or Paypal. We do not take credit card payments at this time.

STEP 4: Pick Up. Give us a day or two. We will email you and you then collect. We deliver either a memory stick (at extra charge) or cloud albums either on your own cloud or we can set one up for you (cost dependent).
