A lifetime of memories can be lost in an instant, through fire, storm damage, or even a stray silverfish. Protect your photos with digital scans, safely copied and stored.

Make them digital
Make a digital copy of your printed photos, slides and negatives to protect them from common risks of damage or loss: water damage, mould, aging, colour shift, wear and tear, insects and mould.
Share a copy
Protect your photos from all major risks of loss by creating digital copies. Keep one copy at home and leave another with a friend or family member.
Natural disasters: Bush fires and house fires, floods and water damage, extreme heat and cold.
Aging: Over time and with exposure to sunlight, photos fade and lose the detail in once crisp and vibrant pictures.
Colour shift: Old, printed photos can turn yellow or orange, due to chemical deterioration of the dyes used in printing.
Wear & tear: Many well-loved photos bear the marks of handling with scratches and fading, creases, folds, and finger prints.
Insects: It takes just one stray silverfish to eat holes through even the most precious of photos.
Mould: Photos forgotten in storage can be exposed to moisture, resulting in mould and mildew, or permanent stains.
