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:
- Your Family Photos
- 1955 12 photos
- 1962 31 photos
- 1974 48 photos
- img_0142.jpg
- img_0143.jpg
- 1987 26 photos
- 2001 19 photos
The dates are written inside each file, so Apple Photos, Google Photos, and every other library lines them up oldest to newest, automatically.
Folders by year, by person, or exactly as you dropped them off: your choice. Want to see it move? Try the interactive demo →
What We Scan & What It Costs
Small batches (up to about 500 photos): ready in a few days. Big collections (up to about 3,000 photos): about a week.
Everything lands in your private Timeline Scan account, ready to download. Want a USB thumb drive too? $10, or free on your own drive.
I hold a backup copy of your finished digital files for up to three months after your project ends.
Everything Included in the Price
Six things most scanning services skip or charge extra for. Every photo gets all of them, at every rate on the list.
Front & Back
Both sides of every photo, scanned crisp and clear at 600 DPI.
Dated & Sorted in Order
We estimate the year each photo was taken and write it into the file, so your collection lines up oldest to newest, not by scan day.
Handwriting Read
Names, dates, and notes on the back are read and saved with the photo.
Turned Upright
Photos turned upright automatically, 98.8% accuracy.
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.
Dating and organization are included in every rate above. You do not need to purchase Timeline Scan separately; the drop-off price covers the whole job.
A Better Deal That Does More
Most services charge per scan and stop there. Our loose-print sale rate, $0.15 down from $0.20 through August 15, also dates every photo and reads the handwriting on the back.Most services charge per scan and stop there. Our $0.20 loose-print rate also dates every photo and reads the handwriting on the back.
Per-photo scan rate (2026)
Scan only, nothing else
Published rates checked August 2026, before promo codes. Legacybox sells by the box: 25 photos = 1 “item”, so its $69.98 starter box is $1.40 per photo. None of these include dating, and your photos ride a mail truck both ways.

Who You’re Handing Your Photos To
The box you drop off may hold the only copies of the photos inside it, and handing it to a stranger is the hardest part. So here’s the stranger: Spencer Baker, founder of Timeline Scan. He 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.
