At 7 Avon Road, Pymble NSW 2073, Capture Australia's own staff scan photo albums and loose prints in-house on our proprietary glare-removal equipment, the same equipment and process used at every drop-off point in our network. It's a genuine location like any other, just run directly by us rather than an independent partner, which gives us a bit more flexibility for unusual requests or if you happen to be nearby. Your originals never leave our care.
The Capture Service Centre is at 7 Avon Road, Pymble NSW 2073. Parking is mainly on the street. Call ahead to ask about visitor parking.
This is a working facility rather than a retail shop, so there's no walk-in counter and no fixed opening hours. Contact us first to arrange a drop-off time. For larger orders, contact the Capture Service Centre for pickup enquiries.
Our own staff scan photo albums exactly as they are, page by page, through the plastic sleeve, so nothing needs to come out. Loose prints of any size go through the same process, as do framed portraits and prints up to 45cm x 70cm, scanned through the glass without removing them from the frame. Whether it's a single album or a full collection you've been meaning to deal with, it's the same process used at every Capture Australia location. Film, negatives, slides and VHS tapes aren't part of this service.
Contact us first to arrange a drop-off time and tell us roughly what you have and what you need. For larger orders, contact the Capture Service Centre for pickup enquiries. Scanning happens on site on Capture Australia's own equipment, run by our own trained staff, not sent to a partner shop or an outside lab. You'll get an estimated photo count and an indicative quote before scanning starts, and the exact count is confirmed once scanning is done, which is what you pay on. Turnaround is typically two to three weeks.
Your photographs stay at 7 Avon Road throughout scanning. Because this is Capture Australia's own facility rather than an independent partner shop, our own team handles your enquiry, scans your albums and returns your originals at collection. Nothing is forwarded to a partner shop or an outside lab.
Pymble takes its name from Robert Pymble, who received a land grant in 1823. The area was farmland and orchards for much of the nineteenth century. Subdivision began in the early 1880s ahead of the North Shore railway line in 1890.
Those changes are part of the local history behind family photographs of Pymble. At our service centre, we focus on preserving the prints and albums you bring us, without removing photos from their pages.
