This was a big project that I was a little nervous about - five boxes of albums mixed with loose photos. Every photo came back in order and accounted for, and now everything is backed up safely. I've been telling everyone to do this before it's too late.

When the Palisades fire took everything, Photokive reprinted our family’s photo books free of charge. We lost our home, but thanks to Photokive, not our most cherished memories.

Your team made it so easy to send in the pictures, and the digitals came out with good quality. Thanks for keeping this simple as we worked to go through our parents' estate.

I had a great experience with Photokive. The whole time they were in contact with me to help make all my photos go digital. I worked with a concierge and she was wonderful.

I'm so happy I found Photokive to help archive my old pictures. It was a fantastic experience. I particularly enjoy the fact that I can download the pictures in bulk to my home computer. Everything was easy and speedy and my albums came back fully intact.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a printed copy of my photo album?

Yes. Once your albums are digitized, we print hardcover Photo Books from the images, $150 a book up to 350 pages. Order them on the form inside your Safekeeping Kit, or any time after.

Are Photo Books included in my order?

No. Your per-album price covers digitizing, editing, and placing your images in your account. Photo Books are a separate, optional add-on at $150 per book for anyone who also wants a printed copy.

When can I order them?

On the order form inside your Safekeeping Kit, or any time after digitization is complete. You can always come back and order more books for as long as your library is with us.

Do I have to design the books myself?

Only if you want to. A personal Book Builder can create first drafts of every book for you, matched to your original albums. You then review the proofs online and make final edits before anything is printed.

How big can a book be?

Each hardcover holds up to 350 pages and can carry thousands of images - enough for multiple albums in one volume. The price is $150 per book regardless of how many pages you use.

Can I send copies to family members?

Absolutely - it's the most popular reason people order them. Print a copy for every sibling or relative who shares the album, so the family history isn't stuck in one house anymore.

Do Photokive Guarantee™ members get a discount on Photo Books even if nothing happens to their original albums?

Yes. With an active Photokive Guarantee™ membership, you’ll receive 20% off Photo Books anytime you order, even if you never need to file a claim.

Are Replacement Books covered by the Photokive Guarantee™?

Yes. If your original albums are lost or damaged in a covered disaster while your Photokive Guarantee™ membership is active, replacement Photo Books are provided at no charge.
