Capture Australia is a professional photo scanning service that digitises photo albums and loose prints using a patented glare-removal technology. The service is available at trusted partner shops across Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane, and is a validated partner inside the Google Photos app.
The thoughtful service of helping families preserve their treasured memories started in the United States over 25 years ago. Capture.com (renamed from yesvideo.com) and Capture.HK help more than 25 million families globally digitise their physical media: photo prints, slides, VHS tapes, 8mm film reels, and other analogue formats. Over years of operation, they built deep expertise in handling and preserving irreplaceable personal memories at scale.
The photo scanning technology that Capture Australia (Capture-aus.com) uses today originates from Capture.HK (based in Hong Kong), where we invented and patented a proprietary solution combining lighting hardware and smart software built exclusively with the Apple ecosystem. It helps save time and cost by scanning photos through album pages and plastic sleeves without removing a single print, and scans a large number of loose photos at the same time when laid out in our controlled light frame.
Today, the Capture entities operate as a connected global network, each serving their own market with the same underlying photo scanning technology and quality standards. What a family in California receives from Capture.com is built on the same foundation as what a family in Australia receives from Capture Australia.
The Australian expansion took a deliberate route. Rather than opening dedicated scanning centres, the team chose to work with businesses that already handled photographs with care: camera shops, imaging studios, and specialist framers with real histories in photo services. Each partner was selected for their background, their reputation with customers, and their understanding that the photos they handle are not replaceable.
In the last two years alone, the global network has digitised more than 3.7 million photos. Capture Australia is also a validated partner inside the Google Photos app, the only scanning provider in Australia to hold that recognition. When you import your scanned photos into Google Photos, Capture Australia appears as a trusted source in the import function, with the added advantage of not needing to create folders through the use of facial recognition technology embedded into the app.
Capture Australia is part of a global network of photo and analogue media digitisation services. The network includes capture.com and yesvideo.com, all sharing the same scanning technology and quality standards. Together they have helped millions of families preserve physical memories in high-resolution digital form.
