What does it mean to digitize (scan) at 600 DPI?

With a 600 DPI scan, your photos will come to life with fine details, colors, and textures preserved. You can rest assured that the digital files you receive will be faithful reproductions of your original photographs.

Digitized point-per-inch, or DPI, indicates how detailed an image is captured by a scanner. The higher the DPI, the more information will be retained in your digital file. With 600 DPI, you get a scan that captures twice the detail of standard 300 DPI scans, which results in sharper images with richer color depth.

If you want to use your photos for more than just viewing on a screen, the higher resolution becomes particularly important.

A 600 DPI scan gives you the flexibility of producing large prints, enlarging without losing quality, and designing photo books and other keepsakes that look professional and polished. Printing or enlarging lower resolution scans often results in blurry or pixelated images, but 600 DPI files retain their clarity.

Investing in future flexibility

If you scan at 600 DPI, you're creating digital files that will last for years. There are a variety of uses for high-resolution files, including restoring old photographs, creating wall art, creating family albums, and sharing memories. Your photos become digital assets that you can use however you want.
