All our prices, upfront. No "send us your books and we'll quote later." One "set" covers up to 350 pages. Searchable PDFs included as standard. Buy nine, the tenth is free (except Pre-1970 books).
Or post your books — we'll work out the total and send an invoice.
Destructive scanning. Spines are trimmed for the best possible scan quality — your books won't come back.

* Every PDF includes searchable text (OCR) as standard — no extra charge.
* The 10-for-9 promotion applies to all scanning types except Pre-1970 books, which need more careful handling.
* Higher resolution will amplify any page yellowing, which is why we don't advise it for yellowed books.
Email support@digitisemybooks.co.uk with a photo of your book and we'll usually reply same day.
Up to 350 pages. A 320-page paperback = 1 set. A 700-page tome = 2 sets. We always round up.
Yes — Pre-1970 and fragile books are handled by our most experienced scanner and have their own flat-rate pricing (£40 / set). The spine is still removed before scanning, just like any other book.
We use destructive scanning — the spine is cut off so pages feed cleanly through the scanner. This gives the sharpest, straightest output. The trimmed pages are securely recycled unless you ask us to return them.
No — only for as long as the agreed delivery period, then they're deleted. Cloud storage is an opt-in extra.
