The New Era of Photo Scanning Has Arrived

Updated: Nov 8, 2023

It is now November 7th (already?), and the holidays are just around the corner. And, what better way to celebrate than remembering all of your memories? At Naill Digitizing, we aim to help you scan and preserve your old memories by bringing them from a physical format to a digital format, like on your phone.


Let's start with

The Old News.


Naill Digitizing has been relocated

Naill Digitizing has been relocated to a new office space to simplify scanning and storage. This new location is relatively close to the old one, so shipping times will be about the same.


Multilingual Support

We now support Spanish and French on our website.


Today, we are excited to announce many brand-new products and features to make scanning your photos with Naill Digitizing even easier for you. I am ecstatic to introduce to you The New Era of Photo Scanning.


Introducing DigiSafe: The Easiest Way To Keep Your Photos Safe

Today, I am ready to introduce DigiSafe, the easiest way to keep your photos safe. DigiSafe has been in the works since March, and if you noticed in our Birthday post, one of the things "in the workings" was "an online dashboard for managing, sharing, and downloading your scanned photos," which is one of three different services for the perfect combination to protect your newly digitized photos. I am excited to introduce to you the three new services, starting with:


DigiGallery: The Simplest Way To View Your Photos

DigiGallery is your own online, private gallery to view your scanned photos, running on your own private sub-domain and protected by a password. DigiGallery also makes it incredibly easy to share and download your photos. If you want to share your photos, send your link and password to whoever you want. If you want to download your photos, click the Download icon on the home page to download every photo watermark-free.

You can explore the DigiGallery demo here: demo.nailldigitizing.com, or you can view the images below.



DigiGuard: The Perfect Way To Keep Your Photos Safe For Longer

DigiGuard is the new way to keep your photos safe and is the replacement for Local Backup, with all the same great privacy features. All your photos are stored on a physical hard drive, never connected to our computers unless you need your photos. All of your photos are encrypted (with AES-256-bit encryption) and protected by a unique password and biometric authentication, meaning that the only person who can view your photos is you. You can file a DigiGuard claim in your account, and then, within three days, you will receive an email to a folder linked to your account to download your photos.


DigiDownload: The Best Way To Download Your Photos

With DigiDownload, you can download your photos quickly and easily. You will receive an email to a folder linked to your account (meaning that you will need an account and to log into the account) to download your photos.


DigiSafe Offline

DigiSafe Offline is the perfect way to keep your photos entirely offline. DigiSafe Offline is currently only for Flash Drives, which will be shipped with your order.






DigiSafe Pricing

DigiSafe has five tiers for you to select.

(Expand to view information)

Basic

Cost:

Free


Features:

DigiDownload

Starter

Each plan is for your entire account, meaning if you have the Starter plan and scan 300 photos, you can still scan 200 more.

For the Basic plan, you will get a download link valid for 30 days.



You can learn more and get started at www.nailldigitizing.com/get-started/digisafe


Scan More Photos Than Before

Today, we are introducing even more types of photos that you can scan. At the start, we only scanned prints. However, that's changing today! Starting today, you can scan Slides, Color Negatives, Black and White Negatives, Instant photos (aka Polaroids), Panoramics, Film, and Media Format Film!* You can put these in your order, just as you would usually, but separate different types, for example, a pile of slides, a pile of negatives, and a pile of prints.

*We currently only scan photos on film, we do not scan videos at this time.

Introducing The New Way To Get Started

I am excited to introduce Guided Setup, the new way to get started. Guided Setup guides you through getting everything perfected, making sure you know all the ins and outs, and ensuring that everything will fit.

I am also introducing Basic Setup, which is, as it says, basic. You select if you're using our box or your box, and you are done.


Guided Setup

Guided Setup starts after you select your plan, where you can choose Guided Setup or Basic Setup. Guided Setup has seven steps to help you get everything perfect. These steps include selecting our box or your box, DigiSafe Offline, DigiSafe information, and more (I'll tell you about it later).

Order:

  1. Main Screen

  2. Our Box or Your Box

  3. (Our Box) Making Sure Your Photos Fit or (Your Box) Information and Submitting Label Information

  4. Secret 1

  5. Secret 2

  6. DigiSafe Offline

  7. DigiSafe Information and Activation Instructions


Introducing DigiCoin: Naill Digitizing's Rewards and Referral System

DigiCoin has been in the works since March of this year, constantly refining and perfecting everything. DigiCoin is accessible through a widget on the bottom left of your screen, where you can see your current amount of coins and access multiple ways to get rewards.

.

Pay with Coins

Convert your coins into a coupon code you can use at checkout to get a discount (1 coin = $1 off)


Payment Codes

Your coupon codes from paying with coins.


Transactions

Transaction history, such as gaining coins from purchasing, giveaways, social rewards, etc., and losing coins from converting them into coupon codes.


Social rewards

Get two coins for doing activities, such as following Naill Digitizing on social media, posting about us, and more,


Naill Digitizing Referral Program

The perfect way to get awards: referring others to Naill Digitizing. You will get your own link to use, which you can share with other people or online. When someone signs up using your link, they will get a 15% off coin. When they place an order, you will get 30 coins put into your wallet. You can refer an unlimited amount of people.


How can I get coins?

You can get coins by making purchases, participating in giveaways, doing social rewards, and referring others. When you make a purchase, you will get 15% back in coins (e.g., spending $100 will get you 15 coins). You can learn more about the referral program above.


Naill Digitizing Order Tracking

The order tracking page

We are introducing an easy way to track your photos while they are in the process of scanning. You can activate order tracking by creating an account and activating your order in your account. After you do so, you can see your status, see your tracking links, place in line, and more. Your tracking page is characterized by a unique long string of alphanumeric characters, making it difficult for anyone to find your order without permission.


Expedited Scanning: Get Your Photos Done Faster

If you are on a strict time frame, Expedited Scanning is perfect for you. Expedited Scanning will put you on our priority list, meaning that your scanning, digital enhancing, and creation of your DigiGallery will happen sooner rather than later. This was secret #1 in our Guided Setup section.


Shipping Insurance: Keep Your Photos Safe In Transit

If you are worried about your photos while they are in transit, then Shipping Insurance is perfect for you. Shipping Insurance is added to your shipment, and you will get a full refund + possibly extra cash if your photos get lost or damaged while in transit (this is not applicable if individual photos are lost or damaged from incorrect packing). This was secret #2 in our Guided Setup section.


Getting Started Guide: Your Guide for Packaging Your Photos

The Getting Started Guide

The Getting Started Guide provides specific instructions on how to package your photos. If you use the Getting Started Guide, you won't be held liable for any damage or loss due to incorrect packaging if you follow the pretty simple directions. The guide is accessible anytime under the "resources" section in the footer or through this link: nailldigitizing.com/get-started/guide.

Naill Digitizing is now on more places online. Naill Digitizing is now on X (Twitter), Snapchat, Pinterest, and Threads, in addition to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Follow us by clicking on the logo in our footer or the name in this post!


We Now Directly Accept Credit Cards

You can now pay with a credit card directly on our website, making checkout simpler and quicker for you. That means no more having to manually entering in your price (or pay multiple times) into a payment link.

This page will show you the status of many items, such as our website, Help center, and all DigiScan, DigiTouch, and DigiSafe services. If you have an issue, but it's not showing, please tell us.


New landing page from social sites

We have a new landing page for when you reach our site from social media. The page gives you easy access to our other Social Medias, information for contacting us, our Blog, and primary site navigation.

DigiSafe Offline DVDs

Soon, you will be able to get your photos put onto a DVD for storage (as files, not as a video).


A New And Improved Help Center

We are working on a new and improved help center to make getting your questions answered easier. This will be hosted directly on our website and not through a third party.


Closure

That's everything! I hope you will find everything useful, and if you have any feedback, please tell me through chat so that I can fix it (hopefully, everything is fine as is.)
