Preserving What's Precious In Ames
Thousands trust PhotoPanda to digitize their photos.
"I made the right choice with PhotoPanda! They did an amazing job with over 1,000 priceless family photos. The photos were safely shipped, scanned/enhanced within a few weeks and sent back to me. I didn't sign up for any of the special services, just a small box with basic scanning. The small box fit over 1,000 photos, mostly the older 3x5s , some polaroid and 4x6s. I could have fit more. They sent some packaging with the box to keep the photos in good shape. Within 3 weeks after shipping, my scans were complete and I received an email with a link to them on the cloud. A week later, I got my photos back. I spent quite awhile researching photo digitization services and picked PhotoPanda because they dont charge by the photo, but rather by the box and had good reviews/pricing. My photos would've cost twice as much as other companies. Of note, PhotoPanda was closed during June for vacation so the initial shipping of my box was delayed about a month. I did not mind this as I am not in a rush and its good an employer can provide that for its employees."
"I switched to PhotoPanda after trying another scanning service that markets like crazy under two different names. There was no competition. The scan quality is far superior, the communication was clearer, and the turnaround time was better. I'll be sending the rest of my 1,000 prints off to PhotoPanda in the next week or two."
"I love my scanned pictures. The high resolution is amazing! I also love the photo picture frame and the ease of use. I was delighted that they were able to get the orientation done so well!"
"I used photopanda a few years ago to suprize my mother on her big 60th Bday, we covertly snuck and mailed ALL of our several album photos to them, and they digitized everything. She broke down in tears when we surprised her with a frame that had nearly 3000 photos from our family's history. To say I am impressed and happy with this service is an understatement, the service was incredible, I got constant feedback, and the scanned photos were even restored! I got an incredible value deal. If you're reading this, PLEASE don't hesitate to use them, you will not be disappointed đ â¤ď¸"
"I am so happy that I chose Photo Panda. I had a large number of photos given to me by various family members and I said I would get them scanned and give them a flash drive each with pictures. The whole process was very professional and easy. They sent me the box, I put the pictures in it and took to the post office. Immediately I was notified it was en route. Once Photo Panda received the box, I was also notified. A couple weeks later I was notified the photos were back on their way to me with the flash drives. They arrived just fine and now all of us have our flash drives with the photos. This was so much easier than I thought and I am very happy."
"We used PhotoPanda at the recommendation of a friend. The experience was excellent. Great communication from the beginning to the end. My wife felt comfortable sending off pictures to be scanned in. We can now see them in the Cloud. It was a terrific experience and we will use them again, as we find some more pictures that need to be scanned in! :) Highly recommend them!!"
"I am so pleased with PhotoPanda. I have a dozen very bulky photo albums that my children do NOT want. I took out every picture and scoured the internet looking for the most reasonable and professional photo scanning service - and PhotoPanda is it!! They digitized my entire collection of photos (1500) for a fraction of the price of other services. The digitized photos are scanned as is, and then a second set of files are provided where the digitized photos are enhanced. WONDERFUL - the enhanced digitized photos are amazing. Many of my photos are more than 50 years old, and they look like they were taken with modern cameras in the enhanced versions. All of my photos were returned, packed neatly and carefully in one small box - much easier to store! I received both a USB drive with all the photos (original scan and enhanced versions) and a code to access them online - which also was a breeze. There is no easier and more affordable way to have your photos scanned and preserved than PhotoPanda."
"What sets PhotoPanda apart is their attention to detail and their state-of-the-art scanning technology. Each photograph was handled with the utmost care to ensure no harm came to these precious memories. The resulting digital copies were nothing short of remarkable with an additional scan of the back of the photo which captured notes that Mom had made through the years. The scanned photos displayed a level of clarity and vibrancy that I was not expecting. PhotoPanda's commitment to delivering the highest resolution scans meant that even the smallest details and nuances of each image were faithfully preserved. The colors were vivid, and the images were free from any imperfections or distortions. Finally, the USB drive was impressive. Nice keepsake for Mom's old photos! Highly recommend without reservation. In fact, just sent my second box yesterday!"
"The experience was great, it took us almost a year to get all of my parentâs old photos collected and sent - we were sent communication emails describing where they were at in the process and what to expect next. I havenât tried accessing online yet but expect it to be fairly straightforward. I had to leave a review to receive the USB drive containing all of the photos, which I am happy to do."
"I decided to have some of my old photos scanned in order to get rid of some of my many old albums and clear up some shelf space. PhotoPanda had my pix scanned and returned to me in no time, in better condition than when I sent them. I don't know how they do it, but I sent some photos that you could barely see what they were and they came back looking like I had taken them yesterday. I am very pleased with their work and in fact, I am currently gathering more pix to send. Great job PhotoPanda!"
"PhotoPanda is all that it is advertised to be. I received updates frequently and the scans we well done."
"This company is doing everything right. Clarity of instructions, ease of shipping, quality of images, and responsive customer support. We had thousands of pictures scanned and are extremely pleased with the result. Notes on the reverse were captured and the enhanced images are typically better quality than the original scans, saving significant time on post-editing needed. (The original scans and the photos are also returned). Photo access is online and also on a nicely presented thumb drive. Customer service was easy to access beforehand, and also worked with us to set up a modified delivery schedule. We found everything about PhotoPanda to be professional and would recommend them without reservation."
"Hands down a great service ! easy, simple, good price, great service, GREAT outcome!"
"Everything worked perfectly smooth and just as Photo Panda described! Iâm thrilled with the scans and the options given to retrieve them (Flash drive and cloud). I am able to share all our memories with my sons: any and all pictures at our fingertips. Super job!!"
"I have nothing but praise for PHOTOPANDA. I have used other digitalizing businesses, but PHOTOPANDA is the best, especially offering for no additional charge, enhancements of photos. And their USB plugs are the greatest. Thank you. I will continue to do business with this company"
"This was such a great gift for my family and lived ones I gave it twice. Once to my parents for all the family photos that were packed away and once for my wife's family to do the same. The process was as painless as possible smooth from start to finish. Great communication and all photos were scanned and returned quite quickly. Great service would definitely recommend"
"Great service!!!"
"So awesome to have all my photos at my fingertips! Thank you PhotoPanda!"
"Excellent turn around and quality!"
