The Benefits of Digital Photo Albums

If you have the urge to create a new photo album but want it to have a more unique flair, try creating a digital photo album that you can burn onto a disc! Digital photo albums have more customizability and options. Exploring the benefits of digital photo albums can result in a more memorable end product, so let’s get into it.

Easier To Add Fun Stickers

Adding physical stickers and captions to your photo albums is one of the most fun parts and may seem like the hardest aspect to part with when considering digital photo albums. The reality is, however, that it is easier to edit your photos digitally—and there are innumerable stickers available to make the task even more fun. When making a physical photo album, you’re limited to any stickers that you can buy or print out on sticker paper. While there are plenty of options for stickers and scrapbooking decorations, when making digital photo albums, the entire internet is at your disposal. Many sites offer free stock images, though you can purchase some watermark-free stock images as well. While you could print images from the internet onto sticker sheets, printer ink is generally expensive, and the printer might not give you a high-quality print job.

It may seem daunting to start editing digital stickers onto photos at first, but anyone can learn. There are many free programs for beginners that will allow you to start adding personality to your photos.

Keep Your Memories Safe

Digital photo albums require you to digitize your photos, allowing you to keep copies of precious pictures on an electronic storage device. This process doesn’t destroy your photos, meaning that while you’re using and editing your photos in a digital album, the physical photos are safe wherever you want to store them. Even if something happens to your physical photos, you can restore them from your computer with a digital copy.

If you lack a high-quality scanner for older photos, you can invest in paying for a service like DiJiFi to convert them for you. Even if you have a scanner, professionals can scan more types of photos than you can imagine and can even go as far as to convert medium-format negatives to digital photos. Yes, that means we can convert those old film negatives in the little black film tubes you might be holding on to! Opening up the option to add photos from medium- or large-format negatives and negative strips could add an impressive talking point to your digital photo albums.

Share Photos With More People

The most important benefit of digital photo albums is by far their shareability. Once created, you can save the album in a format that can be emailed to friends and family members. Or if you want a physical copy to give out, you can burn the album onto DVDs to mail out. The nicest part of sharing your digital album is that the original will stay safe on your personal computer!
