What to Do with Digitised Photos | 9 Ideas

What to Do with Your Digitised Photos: 9 IdeasOnce your photos are digitised by Capture Australia, there are many ways to enjoy, share and preserve them. Here are nine ideas for making the most of your scanned photo collection, all of which require high-quality digital files to start with.Why Digitisation Comes FirstColour prints begin to fade and yellow within 15 to 25 years, and phone-photographed prints typically suffer from glare, distortion and low resolution that ruin reprints, photobooks and large prints. Capture Australia's proprietary glare-removal technology produces sharp, colour-accurate digital files that meet the resolution requirements of professional print labs, photobook services and merchandise providers.Ideas for Your Digitised Photos

Reprint Your Favourite Photos: Order high-quality reprints from Officeworks Photo, Harvey Norman Photos, Kmart Photo Centre or specialist labs at any standard Australian print size.

Photo Frames and Wall Art: Print and frame your favourites at standard frame sizes (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14 and 16x20 inches), or order canvas, acrylic and metal prints online.

Create a Photobook: Compile your scanned collection into a professionally printed hardcover or softcover photobook using Snapfish, Officeworks Photo or Momento.

Share with the Whole Family: Distribute digital copies via Google Photos shared albums, WhatsApp groups or iMessage threads so everyone in the family keeps a set.

Digital Photo Frames: Load scanned photos onto a Wi-Fi enabled frame (Frameo-compatible frames are easiest to gift) that cycles through your memories.

Video Slideshows and Memory Reels: Assemble scanned photos into a video slideshow set to music using Google Photos, Canva or iMovie. Meaningful for birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and milestone celebrations.

Family History and Genealogy: Build a digital family archive on Ancestry, MyHeritage or Family Tree Maker with dates, names and stories captured while older relatives can still identify the people and places.

Custom Gifts and Merchandise: Create calendars, mugs, jigsaw puzzles, cushions, phone cases and tote bags through Printful, Snapfish, Vistaprint or Zazzle.

Safe Archiving and Long-Term Backup: Store copies in at least two places, for example a cloud service like Google Photos or iCloud plus a physical USB drive kept at a separate address.
