The best auto-feed photo scanners.
We’ve had a few different photo scanners that we have recommended over the years. What we have learned from all of our testing, and customer support is that there are only two that we will put our stamp of approval on.
Option #1 :: Kodak PS50
This scanner costs a little bit more, but compared to other scanners in its league, it is much less expensive.
Pros: comes with a warranty and a support contract from the Kodak distributor, scans 50 photos per minute, requires less cleaning and maintenance.
Cons: more expensive
Option #2 :: Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500
This scanner comes in at a cheaper price point. It’s a pretty decent bang for your buck. Users occasionally report streaks on the photos, but that can usually be fixed by cleaning the scanner.
Pros: Less expensive
Cons: no warrantee or technical support contract, requires more maintenance.
Option #3 :: Stop Scanning
This may sound crazy, but it really is possible. Many people have their photos digitized today. If that is the case, it is a hassle for them to gather up the originals and bring them in for you to scan. The easiest way to collect them is to use the Family Photo Upload tool from Tukios.
Pros: No upfront investment
Cons: You can’t binge-watch Netflix while you wait for photos to scan.
Price: Free
At Tukios, we are not in the business of making money on scanners. All of the information we are sharing here is genuinely meant to help speed up your scanning processes, and save you time/headache in research. Although both of these scanners are available in the Tukios convenience store, you are welcome to shop for them elsewhere if you desire.
