Memories Renewed has done an excellent job with the orders I’ve placed. They have scanned both negatives and photographs for me, bringing new life to old images through their outstanding color correction work. Their team has also been highly responsive and helpful whenever I’ve had questions. I’m very pleased with the quality of their service and results.

Julie M.

Digitized slides from 1966. Great work, great customer service.

Patty M.

Wow! Memories Renewed exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I can’t believe how well they restored my photos which were in pretty bad shape. So happy to have used their services!!!

Noella B.

I just had 610 slides digitized by Memories Renewed and couldn't be more pleased. They were very professional and careful in handling and converting the images. I certainly plan to use them again. I wish they could be faster in the turnaround but I would much rather have quality and care than speed. A terrific company!!!

Scott B.

These folks always do great work! Wife and I have sent photos and family history items to the multiple times. They take care of the originals, check in along the way, and return great digital versions of our items and photos! Recommending to friends for sure!

Dan H.

I have used Memories Renewed 4 times in the last 5 years. Although most still images, I have also had them digitize old home movies. I have probably had them digitize over 1000 photographs at this point. They have done an absolutely great job. They are very careful handling the photos and movies and do a great job in scanning and taking care of the resulting digital versions. I will use them again without any reservations. Definitely a quality organization.

Excellent experience with Memories Renewed! Communication was great throughout the process, and the quality of the digitized photos exceeded my expectations. Everything was handled in a very organized and professional way. I also liked that they’re highly recommended by Consumer Reports. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to digitize and preserve their photographs.

Friendly service, thorough and clear on what to expect and pricing options. Looking forward to seeing the results!

I contacted Memories Renewed at a friend's recommendation. Our twins were celebrating their 50th birthdays and we arranged a weekend of festivities. We completely and unreservedly thank Memories Renewed for their excellent work in digitizing multiple photos and other memorabilia for a slide show marking this event. Not only did they do a superb job, but they were lovely to work with. They have our highest recommendation.

Memories Renewed is awesome! Their positive, can-do attitude saved the day for me in getting a critical project done on time.

Stanley F.

Fast turnaround and reasonably priced. Excellent digital reproductions of photos, slides and B&W negatives.

Aaron R.

I haven't even seen the finished product yet but found them to wonderfully kind, engaging, and helpful. I'm grateful to have found something local to me before shipping my film to another place.

I had two oversized pictures and 2 8x10s scanned and restored. The 8x10s were from the 1910s. One of the larger pictures was from 1920 and had some tears in it. They were able to restore it! Excellent job. I would use them again! 💕

Theresa S.

Thank you very much for fixing a 45 year old cassette tape and digitizing it for me. It contains precious memories of me and my sister when we were kids.

John G.

Memories Renewed scanned photos of my father's dating from the 1940"s. The photos were small and aging. I was amazed at the quality of the scanned photos received from Memories Renewed. They are now even suitable for printing in large format and framing. The staff were courteous and informed. I highly recommend Memories Renewed!!

Chris L.

A tiny 9.55mm European-format movie reel has been in my family since 1947. Without the equipment to run it, we've never been able to see what was on it. I'd pretty much given up hope of ever running it, but Memories Renewed just fixed that, even though the format presented a significant challenge. Thank you for enabling us to digitize and preserve a family memory from almost 80 years ago. Courteous service, quality and pricing -- all excellent!

Molly H.

Great way to digitize old family VHS tapes so you don’t lose them as they degrade over time. Excellent customer service, and the end result is exactly what I was hoping for!

Sarah B.

I've used them at least 5 times and they really do a good job and are very responsive.

Derek P.

I have been sending 50-year-old film negatives and slides to be scanned to digital by MR for almost 10 years now. With each order, I am always amazed at how spectacular these old images can transfer with the proper equipment. I HIGHLY recommend Memories Renewed for any film negatives or slide scanning that you need. Their work is incredible!!!!

Gail H.

Memories Renewed just digitized more than sixty 2x2 slides for me, some (glass!) dating back to the 1940's. Many slides were faded or underexposed or over-exposed or dusty or moldy so I wasn't optimistic but their digital images were absolutely excellent. They had done a remarkable job of extracting everything possible from the original slide. Dealing with Memories Renewed was straightforward and easy. This company is the best!

Pastor Jim J.

They do an excellent job taking old photos and memories and digitizing them.

Charles G.

Memories Renewed just completed another project for me, and as before I’m very impressed by the quality of their work. First class, just like the last project they did for me several years ago. Their website works beautifully. Very easy to use, monitor status, and make payments. Every aspect of my engagement with them was first rate. It’s so nice to find a company that does exceptional work AND provides amazing customer service. I will happily refer people to Memories Renewed.

Jessica A.

I highly recommend Memories Renewed to anyone who values a job well done, excellent customer service, quick turn-around times and fair pricing. From the very beginning, every staff person (Chris, Julia, and Andre) I interacted with was helpful and patient. I did A LOT of research before deciding and I can honestly say choosing Memories Renewed is one of the best decisions I've ever made!

R D.

I researched and compared a number of lab to digitize my slide collection - some 1500 family slides. Memories Renewed stood out from the rest. Their equipment and process produces the highest quality digital files at a reasonable price. Customer service is excellent. Answered all my questions and followed all my directions to keep the digitized files properly organized. Excellent, professional service!
