Who We Are

Preserving Your Memories, One Pixel at a Time

At Heritage Pixelworks, we specialize in bringing your most treasured memories into the digital age. Whether it’s a dusty photo album, a box of slides, or a stack of negatives, we treat every image like it’s part of our own family history.

We’re not a faceless upload-and-go service. We’re a small, independent business driven by care, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the past. From the moment your materials arrive to the moment we return them (along with high-quality digital files), we ensure they’re handled with the utmost care and attention.

Why We Do What We Do

Every photo tells a story—of birthdays, road trips, first steps, and first dances. But physical prints fade, negatives degrade, and slides get forgotten in the attic. We believe those stories deserve to be seen, shared, and safeguarded for generations to come.

By combining vintage charm with modern tech, we help bridge the past and the future—so your memories stay as vivid as the day they were captured.

What Makes Us Different

  • Personalized Service – We communicate directly with you to understand your needs. No automation. No outsourcing.

  • Hand-Handled Materials – Every photo, slide, or negative is scanned and reviewed by hand, one at a time.

  • Retro-Inspired, Tech-Savvy – We love the mid-century vibe, but we’re all digital when it comes to quality.

  • Locally Owned & Family-Run – Based in DeKalb, IL, we’re proud to serve our community and beyond.

Let us turn your faded prints into forever files.
