What we cover

Paper fades.
Disasters happen.

  • Fire & smoke damage

    House fires, wildfires, soot and smoke left behind.

  • Flood & water damage

    Storms, burst pipes, a leaking roof.

  • Storms

    Tornadoes, hurricanes and everything they bring with them.

  • Life’s little accidents

    A spilled drink, a curious toddler, a move gone wrong. Yep, accidents are covered too.

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

What happens if my photo albums are lost in a fire or flood?

The photos aren't gone. Every image we digitized is in your Photokive library, and with an active Photokive Guarantee membership we reprint Replacement Books of every album, at no cost, shipped to your door.

What exactly does the Photokive Guarantee™ cover?

With a valid Photokive Guarantee™ plan, if your original albums are damaged or destroyed by a covered event - fire, flood, storm, or an everyday household accident - we'll reprint Replacement Books of every album we digitized for you, free of charge.

How do I stay covered?

Coverage is included with your Photokive Guarantee™ membership - $7.99 a month, billed annually. Your first 30 days are free once your images land in your account. Cancel within those 30 days and you won't be charged. After that, your plan runs for the year and your albums stay covered as long as it's active.

How is this different from regular insurance?

Homeowners' or renters' insurance might reimburse the paper and ink - but not the memories. Because we already have your digitized images and print books in-house, we can replace the irreplaceable part: the album itself.

How do I file a claim?

Reach out to our team while your Photokive Guarantee™ is active, let us know what happened, and we'll begin reprinting from your secure library right away. Your Replacement Books are printed, bound, and shipped to your door.

What happens if I cancel?

The guarantee is a benefit of an active Photokive Guarantee™ membership. If your annual plan lapses or is canceled, your albums are no longer covered and Replacement Books are no longer available. Your digitized images stay accessible per your plan terms. Re-enroll any time to reinstate coverage.

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.
