Business Review
"I had almost 7,000 photos to scan, and Scan5 made the process seamless and stress-free. A friendly courier picked up my six big boxes filled with photo albums and loose photos, and the owner personally answered all of my questions and emails throughout. All work is done in their Chicago office, with secure storage for physical media, and pricing is completely transparent upfront.
As an illustration of how Scan5 goes above and beyond, about 400 of my photos were fused into album sleeves; they were able to capture each page overhead with a high-quality DSLR camera, and they even cropped those into individual files at no extra charge. I’m encouraging my friends and family to have their photos, VHS tapes, Super 8 films, and the many other types of media that Scan5 is able to digitize handled by Scan5. The Scan5 team’s meticulous attention to detail and communication made the process smooth, and they handled every item with care. Once these artifacts are damaged or lost, you can’t get them back—Scan5 ensures they’re preserved beautifully for a lifetime." -Lisa French

"I am more than satisfied with Scan5's service. Everything promised was on schedule. Their process is straightforward. Because the tapes and videos entrusted to their care are irreplaceable, a high level of trust is required. I can highly recommend their service." -Tim Boyd
"Excellent, personal service. Dave was very easy to work with, and answered all my questions and made helpful suggestions. Service was quick and the scans were high-quality. He even kept the slides organized the way I had grouped them--super helpful!" -Phyllis Nutkis
