Why Scan Your Photo Albums & Scrapbooks?
Here are just a few reasons why you should scan your scrapbooks and albums.
1. Backup Protection
Your scrapbooks and albums are one of a kind creations which you spent a lot of time and money to create. Added to that, and maybe more importantly, is you likely put your heart and soul into creating each and every page. So why would you not want to have a backup copy, giving you the peace of mind that your memories are protected.

2. Mix Pages from Different Albums or Rearrange Pages
Another reason to scan your albums is so you can mix pages from different albums and create a new book in either the form of a Photo Book or a Flip Book or both. It’s also an easy way to simply rearrange the pages in an existing album. Once the pages are scanned they can be mixed and arranged in any order you like.

3. Sharing with Family and Friends
How many times have you wished you could take your album with you on a trip when visiting family or friends, but it was too big and bulky to carry in your suitcase? Once your album is scanned you can easily share it with others in the form of a Flip Book. You can also make as many copies as you would like at no additional cost.
4. Take Up Less Space
For anyone downsizing this may be one of the best reasons to scan your albums. A photo book takes up less than half the space of a traditional CM album and there is really no comparison to the little space a USB stick uses. You can even choose to have them stored electronically which would take up the least amount of space possible. Now the kids can keep the memories without taking up physical space.
