Meet the Founder

Welcome! I’m Prahlad Delaney, the founder of Photo Digitizer, established in 2021. With over 25 years of experience in bulk photo scanning and image restoration, my passion is to preserve cherished memories by bringing them into the digital age.

Professional Background

Over the years, I’ve handled more than 500,000 photos, specializing in photo editing, color correction, and restoration. My 24+ year career as a graphic and web designer has refined my skills in creating clean designs and maintaining meticulous organization, all of which contribute to the quality of my work at Photo Digitizer.

A Family-Inspired Mission

The inspiration for Photo Digitizer came from a deeply personal experience. My father, now in his early 70s, had a vast collection of family photos spanning 75 years. These photos were stored in bags, boxes, and old albums, vulnerable to loss from disasters like fire or hurricanes. Although we had discussed the need to scan them, the project seemed overwhelming, and the cost and time involved in using online services were prohibitive.

Taking matters into my own hands, I made my father my first client. I scanned nearly 8,000 of his photos and saved them onto a single USB flash drive. The original photos are now safely stored in acid-free archive boxes, meticulously organized by category or family member. This effort not only preserved our family’s history but also provided us with a convenient, shareable digital archive, ensuring peace of mind for future generations.

Balancing Professional and Family Life

For the past 8 years, I’ve successfully managed my Web Design Consulting business from home, striking a balance between professional commitments and family life. My passion for photography and design fueled the creation of Photo Digitizer, where I use state-of-the-art high-speed scanners to offer top-notch photo digitization and restoration services.

My Mission at Photo Digitizer

At Photo Digitizer, my mission is to help you preserve your treasured memories by making them easily accessible and securely stored for years to come. I’m dedicated to providing high-quality service that ensures your family’s history is safe, shareable, and always within reach.
