Digital Photo Consolidation
Do you have 20 years of memories scattered across 5 old laptops, 3 phones, and a box of USB sticks? We hunt them down and bring them all together.
Preserving Your Family History
We take more photos than ever, but we look at them less. Why? Because they are a mess. Most of our clients have a "digital shoebox"—thousands of unorganized JPEGs named "IMG_001.jpg" duplicated across multiple devices. The risk of losing precious memories is huge.
At Leeds Computer & Laptop Repairs, we offer a specialized Photo Consolidation Service. We act as digital archivists for your family history.
The Process
- Gathering: We take your old laptops, towers, tablets, and phones and scan every inch of them for image files.
- De-Duplication: We use advanced algorithmic software to scan for duplicates. We look at the actual image data, not just the filename. We delete the lower-quality copies (e.g., WhatsApp compressed versions) and keep the high-resolution originals.
- Organization: We restructure your library into a clean folder structure:
Year > Month > Event. - Metadata Repair: Where possible, we fix the "Date Taken" data so your timeline makes sense.
Cloud Library Merging
Are you paying for iCloud AND Google Photos? We can migrate your libraries. We can download your entire iCloud library, merge it with your Google Photos, and upload the master collection to a safe Amazon Photos or NAS archive. This stops you paying double subscriptions.
Corrupt Image Repair
Sometimes old photos show grey bands or won't open. We have specialized JPEG repair tools that can often stitch the hex-data back together, saving a corrupted wedding or baby photo that you thought was gone forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have 50,000 photos. Is that too many?
Not at all. We regularly handle libraries with over 200,000 images. Our robust workstations crunch through the data efficiently.
Can you scan physical prints?
Currently, we focus on digital organization. However, we can recommend high-quality local scanning services to digitize your physical albums before we organize them.
