Frequently asked questions
What do I get back?
Your original items are safely returned, along with high-quality digital copies of your memories.
For photo, slide and negative orders, your scans are delivered via your private online Momento Gallery, making it easy to view, download and share them with family and friends. For orders of 500+ items, a USB flash drive is also included. USBs can be added to smaller orders for R150.
Video and reel digitisation projects are delivered via Google Drive or another agreed delivery method.
Everything is clearly organised and easy to enjoy for years to come. See what yours could look like in our sample albums.
How much does it cost?
Photo scanning ranges from R3 to R5 per photo depending on volume. Slides and negatives start from R8 per slide, and video tapes are priced per tape or reel. You’ll receive a full estimate before we begin digitising — no surprises. See full pricing here.
How should I pack my photos for collection?
Group and label your photos or slides with elastic bands, envelopes or in boxes — we’ll handle them carefully and keep each batch together in your Momento Gallery.
If photos are still in albums, we can remove them for R1.50 per photo, though we recommend doing this yourself so you can choose the order. We don’t place photos back into albums after scanning. Slides and negatives can remain in their original boxes or trays.
For video tapes and film reels, simply bring them as they are and label each one if you’d like them organised separately in your digital folders.
When do I pay — before or after digitisation?
No upfront payment is required. Once your digitisation is complete, we’ll send a preview together with your final invoice. Your digital files are shared once payment has been made.
Do you keep a backup of my scans?
Yes — we securely store a copy of your digital scans for 3 months. If you lose your USB or need another version, we can resend it at any time during that period.
Can I gift this service to someone else?
Absolutely! We offer flexible or pre-paid gift cards — perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or helping a loved one preserve their memories.
