History
Established in 2021.
The inspiration for Photo Digitizer came from my father who had a vast collection of family photos spanning 75 years stored in boxes and old albums. Although we had discussed the need to scan them, the project seemed overwhelming, and the cost and time involved in using online services were prohibitive.
In 2021, my father my first client, and I scanned 8,000 of his photos and saved them onto a USB flash drive. The original photos are now safely stored in archive boxes. This effort not only preserved our family’s history but also provided us with a convenient, shareable digital archive, ensuring peace of mind for future generations.
My passion for photo digitization stems from a love for preserving memories. Growing up, I was surrounded by countless family photos, each telling a precious story. As the years went by, I realized how vulnerable these physical memories were to loss or simply fading with time. This fueled my desire to protect and preserve these moments for others as well.
