The Magic of Memories

Capturing a special memory in a photo or movie is priceless. Old pictures and films can take us back to simpler times and they’re even more enjoyable when we share them with friends and family. This is the magic of memories. We laugh about the hairstyles, clothes and facial expressions of our loved ones and we remember the people who are no longer with us. Digitizing lets you easily share and cherish those good times.

At Chicago Scanning, our mission is to preserve your special memories so they can last for generations to come.

Our team has a background in photography and videography, and we are dedicated to excellent customer service. You can visit us in the Bucktown neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. We are conveniently located right off the Kennedy Expressway.
