The difference you’ll notice

Your Photos Come Back Dated to When They Were Taken

Every scanner stamps photos with today’s date, so a photo from 1975 ends up sitting next to last week. We look at each photo, estimate the year it was taken, and save that onto the file. Your scans settle into the right spot on your timeline.

An ordinary scan May 2026 the day it was scanned

A 1975 photo piles up at the top of your library, mixed in with this week.

Timeline Scan 1975 when the photo was taken

The same photo lands in 1975, right where the memory belongs.

Everything Included, One Price

No add-ons and no surprise fees. Every photo gets all of this for the same $0.15.

Front & Back

Both sides of every photo, scanned crisp and clear at 600 DPI.

Dated to When Taken

We estimate the year each photo was taken, so it sorts into the right place in your library.

Handwriting Read

Names, dates, and notes on the back are read and saved with the photo.

Light Touch-up

Gentle color fixes and red-eye correction, at no extra cost.

Duplicates Free

We spot repeat prints automatically and never charge you for the copies.

Stays Local

Drop off and pick up in Lehi, Utah. Nothing ever goes in the mail.

Built So You Don’t Get Surprised

Set a Cap

Pick a budget when the final count is fuzzy.

Tell us your max (say, $200) and we’ll scan up to that point, then give you a count of what’s done and what’s left.

Duplicates Free

You don’t pay for the extra prints.

Photo shops used to print two of everything. We catch the duplicates automatically and only bill the unique photos, which saves you the time of sorting and the cost of scanning twice.

A Better Deal That Does More

Introductory sale: $0.15 per photo, 25% off the regular $0.20 rate. Most services charge per scan and stop there. Our price also dates each photo and reads the handwriting on the back, all together.

Per-photo scan rate (2026)

Scan only, nothing else

Mailed bulk service A $0.07–$0.30
Pay-per-photo service B $0.29
Premium scan service C $0.21–$0.48
Timeline Scan · local intro sale; includes dating + EXIF $0.20 $0.15

What to Bring, and What to Leave Home

A few minutes of sorting keeps your price low and your photos safe. Here’s all you need to know.

Bring us
  • Loose prints, wallet-size up to 8×10″
  • Panoramic prints up to 8.5×36″
  • Color or black-and-white, glossy or matte
  • Backs with handwriting, dates, or notes (we capture those too)
Please leave home
  • Photos still in albums, binders, or plastic sleeves
  • Anything taped down or stuck to a page
  • Prints larger than 8.5″ on the short side
  • Slides and negatives (we scan paper prints only, for now)
Albums & sleeves

Please take them out of the album first.

Please take photos out of albums and sleeves before you come. I don’t remove them myself, because that’s when brittle prints crease or tear. Bring loose prints in an envelope or box.

The order of your box

I keep them in order, nearly always.

Photos go through in the order you hand them to me and come home that way. One honest note: a print occasionally slips in the feeder, so I can’t promise perfect order on every last photo.

How It Works

Step 1

Reach out

Use the form below to request a drop-off time, or email Spencer at scanning@timelinescan.com.

Step 2

Drop off

We’ll confirm a time, share the exact drop-off location, and you set your budget cap.

Step 3

We scan & upload

Scanned photos land in a private Timeline Scan account we set up for you, ready to view and tag faces, with dating waiting whenever you say go.

Step 4

Pick up

We’ll text or email you the moment your originals and finished files are ready to pick up.

Schedule Your Drop-off

For families in Utah County & Salt Lake County. Tell us a little about your collection and we’ll reply with a drop-off time in Lehi.

Prefer phone or text? Call or text Spencer at 801-753-8328. You can also email Spencer at scanning@timelinescan.com.

  • Local Lehi drop-off by appointment
  • Photos never mailed
  • Handled locally
  • Originals returned
  • You set a budget cap

Not sure? Stand your prints up and measure the stack with a ruler. About 1″ of photos is roughly 100, so a full shoebox usually lands somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000. A close guess is all we need.

We’ll only use your email or phone to reply about your drop-off.

The short version

How We’re Different From Other Scanning Services

Most places hand you a pile of files stamped today. We do more: lower cost, right order, handwriting saved, duplicates free, orientation fixed.

Most scanning services
Timeline Scan
Keeping the price down
Most services

Charge by the hour to pull photos out of albums, or set a high price for each scan.

Timeline Scan

We’re a bulk service. You bring your loose prints, already out of their albums and sleeves, and that keeps the price low.

The order they come back in
Most services

Stamp every scan with today’s date, so a photo from 1975 ends up sitting next to last week’s.

Timeline Scan

We estimate the year each photo was taken and save it onto the file, so your scans land in the right place on your timeline.

The writing on the back
Most services

Scan the front only, or hand the back to you as a separate picture you’ll never open.

Timeline Scan

We read the handwriting on the back and type it into each photo’s notes. Search “Mom” or “1962” in your photo app and that picture comes right up.

Duplicate prints
Most services

Charge you for every print in the box, the doubles and triples included.

Timeline Scan

We catch the repeat prints and never charge you twice for the same picture.

Photo orientation
Most services

Return photos however they came off the scanner. Portrait shots often land sideways and need manual rotation.

Timeline Scan

Every photo is checked and rotated to its correct upright orientation, so your whole archive is easy to browse from day one.

Bring us a shoebox of loose prints and we’ll take care of the rest.

Mail-in · Gauging interest

Outside Utah or Salt Lake County? Help us decide if we should accept shipments.

Right now it’s drop-off only. If enough people want to ship their photos and cover the postage, we’ll consider opening mail-in. Two quick questions:

Would you cover round-trip shipping?
Comfortable with your family photos going through the mail?

We’ll only use this to gauge mail-in demand and let you know if we open it up.
