Preserving What's Precious In Aurora
Thousands trust PhotoPanda to digitize their photos.
"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 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 😊 ❤️"

"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!"

"I had over 30 photo albums. My husband passed away in 2011. I pulled every pic of my husband out. Sent to Photo Panda. They scanned all and put on USB. I had prints made and created a memory book for each of my 3 adult children. What a wonderful gift for all. OMG. So pleased with how everything turned out!"

"I was looking to have almost 2000 pictures scanned to USB. While researching online I found PhotoPanda. I was a bit concerned since they are a newer company and do not have the number of reviews other companies do. I decided to use PhotoPanda and am I glad I did! They were GREAT from start to finish. I had questions which they answered quickly and put me at ease. Easy process from start to finish and the photos were well taken care of. Their website is very easy to navigate and informative. Tracking is provided each step of the way. The 4 USBs that I wanted arrived in really nice keepsake boxes. I am so happy with PhotoPanda I will be referring everyone to them. I am also going to let the individual that took care of my CD and tape transfers know to tell his clients about PhotoPanda for photo scanning. Thanks PhotoPanda!!"

"I am very happy with the quick and efficient service I received. I was told my pictures would be ready in about six weeks. I received my pictures back with the USB that had them the next week. I also had access to download them from the site. But, they also included enhanced versions. They turned out very nice."

"I was nervous about using a company I never heard of, but I took a leap of faith and ordered the box, filled it, and sent it off. Service was great, kept me informed every step of the way. Uploaded all my photos to their cloud for easy access and plan to start going through all those old photo albums to have them all scanned. Highly recommend."
