The Timeline Scan Difference

Why Timeline Scan

Your Photos Come Back Organized, Not Just Scanned

Every other scanner stamps your photos with today’s date, so 1975 lands next to last week. We’re the only service that dates each photo to the year it was taken, and we do the organizing for you. Tap to compare what comes back:

On your computer Folders by year
  • Your Family Photos
  • 1955 12 photos
  • 1962 31 photos
  • 1974 48 photos
  • img_0142.jpg
  • img_0143.jpg
  • 1987 26 photos
  • 2001 19 photos
In your photo app One chronological timeline

The dates are written inside each file, so Apple Photos, Google Photos, and every other library lines them up oldest to newest, automatically.

Who You’re Handing Your Photos To

Spencer Baker, who scans every drop-off order personally in Lehi, Utah.

Spencer takes your box in person, scans every print himself in Lehi, and hands your originals back at pickup. No warehouse, no shipping label, no anonymous technician.

The short version

Most scanning services
Timeline Scan
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

Hit or miss: some rotate for you, others return photos however they came off the scanner or charge extra to turn them.

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.
