"Having a large physical photo collection is no longer feasible in this age. Scanning them all is the best way to share and, most importantly, preserve those memories. You may never want to see those photographs again but they will be fascinating for future generations. We came across Good Time Photo Services in Hong Kong by happy coincidence. The quality of scans is much better than doing it at home and they have a great turnaround time. I also get enhanced photos as well as smaller sized photos, which are ideal to send to friends and family."
Tess., Hong Kong (Feb 2023)
“I found Good Times' service to be really outstanding. They responded quickly to my service requests, and provided clear and complete information with technical options, and clear pricing and delivery schedules. Their work was fantastic - they often went above and beyond to get the best quality! And they always delivered on time. Very convenient, well priced, great service, and terrific results. ”
Michael M., Hong Kong (Sep 2022)
“My family and I needed help digitizing our VHS tapes and ~5000 photos (in various formats - e.g. negatives, projector slides, and actual photos) so we reached out to Good Times Photos for help. We are extremely satisfied with Eric and his team's work. Our communication with them was extremely pleasant, the service they provided was very efficient and has exceeded our expectations.
Eric and his team treated our tapes and photos with utmost respect throughout the entire process. We got our digitized copies within a few weeks despite the heavy workload. They gave us not only the original photos from our aged negatives but they also provided enhanced versions of the photos so we could have our digitized photos in colors that are closer to how it should look if developed back in the days. Our VHS tapes were close to decaying and we sent them to Eric just to give it a shot since we were sure our tapes were damaged and our videos were lost forever. Eric and his team didn't give up and they exhausted all methods to help us retrieve the videos. It was amazing how he managed to salvage what's left and there were a lot of happy tears shed when we saw our precious memories on our computers.
We highly recommend Good Time Photo Services to anyone who's thinking of doing the same. There's no other team out there who will value and respect your photos and videos the same way as they do, and to also have the equipment to retrieve videos and photos from various different formats.
To Eric and team, thank you again for making this daunting task so much easier for us, and for working so hard to preserve our precious memories. It was worth every penny. We are immensely grateful for your help. Keep up the great work!

Clarice C., Hong Kong (Sep 2022)
“Good Time Photo's service to digitize my family pictures was excellent.
The result looks really good despite thousands of old pictures in various formats. I had a deadline and Eric was responsive and flexible, came prepared to pick everything up and had it all done within a week. The communication went smoothly: he explained the process, how he would handle the older albums, provided improved/smaller copies and followed up. Overall I was very impressed and would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for your help!”
Laure K., Hong Kong (Sep 2021)
“I have to say I'm very pleased with the quality of the images, especially the restored color tone of the enhanced images. I will definitely use your service again if I find more photos I want to save, and recommend to friends who need something like this. Thanks for the professional service and keep it up, I'm sure many people will find it useful!”
Edmond T., Hong Kong (July 2021)
“a satisfied customer who said the service provided by Good Time was prompt, very efficient and the results were well above my expectations. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone wanting to preserve their older style negatives and slides. I found their prices to be reasonable and in my view good value. I will be continuing to use them to preserve my photographs from the last 30 years”
GH., Hong Kong (Jan 2021)
“Eric and his team took care with our photos that were labeled by year and then event, and so it was great to receive the scans that were already sorted into the folders. It was quick turnaround, and quality scans that the whole family enjoyed.”
Jess F., Hong Kong (Jan 2021)
“In 2020 I used Goodtime to scan 1000 35mm slides. Their work was excellent. Very well done Goodtime! ”
Andrew M., Hong Kong (Jan 2021)
“Thanks for the mp4s. Some of them were very old, but memories of friends and family who are no longer on this earth. Great job...thank you!”
John D., Hong Kong (Oct 2020)
“Good Time Photo Services did an excellent photo scanning job for me recently. I selected their service after online research and impressed with the comprehensive photo services the company provides. It is the only company which provided the final product with an original scan, enhanced image and small size image.I especially appreciated their efficient method of contact: online order form, and easily reachable pickup and drop off centre. The price being charged is extremely competitive, especially for the service I received.I am happy to recommend Good Times to future customers who I am sure will receive satisfactory and happy experience!”
Elizabath L., Hong Kong (Sep 2019)
“- you promptly, patiently and clearly answered all my questions (I was maybe too careful but they were old photos, being very personal, and you put us at ease)
- you were on time and convenient with pickup and drop off
- you were quick, 2000+ photos removed from albums and scanned in less than a week
- you were friendly and helpful, contacting us promptly during the process to clarify an unclear requirement of ours
- billing was very transparent and as communicated at outset”
Harvey C., Hong Kong (Dec 2017)
“Eric has scanned hundreds of our old slides, allowing us to enjoy once again our travel pictures from the past. His service is prompt, reliable and of very good quality. I had some questions and Eric took the time to answer them and explain the process. I'm happy to recommend Good Time Photo Services.”
Margaret C., Hong Kong (Apr 2017)
"Good Times Photo is highly recommended. Very helpful service.”
Chris A., Hong Kong (Dec 2016)
"The service you provided is both professional and valuable in helping preserve the best memories in my life."
Liza Y., Hong Kong (Nov 2016)
"Eric’s professionalism and expertise is exceeded only by his pleasant disposition and generous spirit. I contacted him for an urgent job, and not only did he oblige, but did so with extreme patience and politeness. Not for a moment was the experience marred by any underlying tension, or concern for money, or the feeling of ‘let’s hurry up and get this done and over with’. Courteously and consistently, he explained the finer points of the task at hand, and together we sorted out the job right on schedule. A rare find in sometimes roughshod-riding, dollars-driven Hong Kong.I dunno, maybe he had had too many beers?
Prem S., Hong Kong (Nov 2015)
"Many thanks to Eric and his team! From the first enquiry by phone to finally getting around 600 slides digitized a very smooth, transparent and highly recommendable process over just 4 days. The quality of the final jpg files is better than what I expected from slides which were up to 30 years old, no matter whether 'naked' slides or with glass. No more concerns about storing large numbers of boxes of slides, their continuous ageing, going through the hassle of getting out the projector for 'boring' slide shows (which you eventually never do). Great to get the memories back on my computer where they are accessible any time ... and get actually looked at or shared with friends and family. Many thanks, Eric!
Holger K., Hong Kong (Sep 2015)
"Great service, with extremely quick turnaround. High quality results. Strongly recommended.
Danny G., Hong Kong (Sep 2015)
"We had a 20 year old album of photos, 300 loose photos and a DVD slide show and they have all been treated perfectly! An extremely efficient and friendly service from Eric – he patiently answered all my questions, told me exactly how it work and I dropped off my photos at the very convenient Des Voeux Road drop-in centre and 2 days later they were ready to collect – complete with a CD-Rom of all of the shots. As I have a laptop, I couldn’t use the CD-Rom so Eric kindly transferred all the photos to a big USB stick for the princely sum of $60 and it was available the next day. The touch-ups of the older photos are very well done – just enhancing the colour and definition. We’re delighted with them and the service really is second to none. Thank you!"
Vicki B., Hong Kong (May 2015)
"I was very satisfied with the service altogether: reactive, flexible, honest, efficient, organised and reliable.
In particular you have grouped and named the pictures and folders according to my sorting and that was very useful afterwards. I wish you good luck for the future."
JLK., Hong Kong (Feb 2015)
"We are really happy with the photos. Thank you so much for your great service. I will definitely recommend you to others."
Martine P., Hong Kong (Jan 2015)
"Thanks for your prompt, professional service and your clear communication. It is all much appreciated. I will certainly use your company again and will recommend you to my friends." Thanks and have a great day."
Mark F., Hong Kong (Nov 2014)
"I was thoroughly impressed by the service with this company. They responded quickly to all my emailed questions, and came round to pick up the photos within hours of finalizing the payment. The photos were digitized in a very reasonable time, and careful attention was paid to some awkward cases. They gave me time to check the emailed digitized versions before delivering the true copies. I saved myself hours of hassle and running into town, for which I was more than happy to pay."
John S., Sai Kung (June 2014)
"I was looking for a company that scans old photos in an economical and a timely manner. The first company popped up from google was Good Time Photo Services. I called them right away to inquire more information about the price and the process time, and Eric was so helpful in answering all my questions. Once I decided to go with them, I dropped off the photos in Central on Wednesday and was surprised that the photos were ready by Friday.For each scanned photo, they included an original, an enhanced one, and a pocket-size one. That was definitely more than what I asked for! Thank you for the great service and I will certainly recommend your company to others!"
Kelvin from Los Angeles (June 2014)
"I had 3000 old photos of varying quality which I wanted to get digitized. They had all been removed from albums and bagged up. I was keen to get the photos back in the same order so that they could be easily slotted back into albums. I could not be more happy. Eric came and picked up the photo bundle from my office in Hong Kong. A few days later he sent me a contact list of the scanned images to review. He then delivered back the photos to my house together with memory stick full of images. The quality of the scanned images was good and I was especially pleased that a sepearate file of enhanced images was provided. These were nicely sharpened in subtle way without changing the character of the pictures. All in all a very professional operation which I would heartily recommend."
Simon P., Mid Levels, Hong Kong (May 2014)
"Eric: Thank you for providing such excellent professional and personal service in the scanning of our treasured family photos. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the final product and the high quality of service that you gave on this engagement. I was impressed from the moment I spoke to you on the telephone enquiring about your services. And it only gets better when we proceeded to arrange for the pick-up of the originals, to the up-to-the-moment updates on the progress of the scanning. The quality of the finished photos is superb. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and relatives if they want to have their pictures scanned. Best of luck to your business. I have no doubt that your business will flourish with you at the helm. "
Greta F. of Toronto (Apr 2014)
"When we prepared to move house some weeks ago, we rediscovered an handful of slides (about 20years old) and a box full of video tapes (VHS and Hi8, 15-25 years old). Back in Switzerland we had been going through some digitization projects but the process was usually lengthy, cumbersome and expensive. Then I stumbled upon Eric and Good Time Photo Service in the web. And the service Eric provided blew me away: he was there for questions, responded quickly and kept me up to date on the progress. He quickly produced some (encouraging) feedback on the picture quality he could achieve from the tapes. For the videos, he patiently worked on the old tapes and found a method to remove the static and to recover a picture good quality. He even reran some of the scans after he discovered that some scan parameters could be improved even further. For the slides he delivered a comprehensive package comprising of contact sheet, original scans, enhanced pic, web-friendly pic – the most user-friendly I have seen so far. The scans and originals were delivered to our home before we finished our move only a couple of days after we had dropped them off in Central. I will recommend Eric’s service and Good Time Photo Service to anyone who wants to transfer old fashioned memories to the digital age. Thank you so much for giving us back those precious memories which we could not access anymore after our last camcorder stopped service …"
Olaf, Hong Kong (Mar 2014)
"My family asked Eric to retouch some of my beloved mother’s old photographs. This project was extremely important to us, and we were very particular in our requests. For example, we asked Eric to trim my mother’s hair covering her right eyebrow, reposition her necklace, and make her hairspray less visible. Eric carefully examined our photographs, and reasonably explained to us whether each of our requirements could be fulfilled, and whether the effects would be natural. He was fair and precise in his assessment, and patient and efficient in corresponding with us. Mostly importantly, he took the job very seriously. The retouched photographs came out great. We will certainly ask Eric to help us with other projects in future."
Wing L., Hong Kong (Feb 2014)
"I found your website when googling such a service for my parents old 35mm slides to be scanned. Asking price for this service was better than the others and also quick response to my email query made me decide to use your service. Drop-off/Pickup location in Central was extremely convenient. Processing time was also reasonable. And finally, I satisfied with the overall quality of the images as well, which are well organized and delivered professionally. Thanks again."
Akin C., Hong Kong (Nov 2013)
"Thanks a lot for your excellent service. I will surely recommend you to my friends."
Sandeep S., Hong Kong (Oct 2013)
"In preparing the slideshow for my Dad’s funeral, I found some invaluable 40-50-year-old negatives which were in very poor condition with lots of scratches and thick layer of dirt and grime. I approached some photography chain stores, but they said they cannot fix it. Finally, I got Eric by searching on internet. He not only helped me to digitalize the images, he also helped me to remove the dust and substantially improved the image quality by simply scanning. What impressed me the most was that …. My Dad was single eyed due to an accident when he was young. We could never get his eye back when he’s alive, but Eric helped me to fix it proactively without my request!! I know Dad would be very happy to see his handsome face again in heaven!!! Also, I don’t expect I will get 4 version of the images …. (1) Original scan; (2) Enhanced images with more contrast; (3) Enhanced images with more details and (4) Web friendly images. Way too considerate for their customers!!! More importantly, I just paid HK$366 for 11 images and able to get the final product within only 2 days!!! That’s amazing!!! The chain stores told me they need 9 days for reproducing a photo and 25 days to get it digitalized for doable cases! Eric, I have nothing to say, but thanks a trillion for your great help!! "
Natalie C., Hong Kong (Oct 2013)
"The pictures are amazing! Thank you so much. I've told all in my office abt the top quality."
D.C., Hong Kong (Oct 2013)
"I am delighted with the quality of the prints and the excellent service. I shall certainly be recommending your service to everyone."
Tim S., Hong Kong (Oct 2013)
"I was impressed with the personalized service, effort and prompt service given to bring my more than 40 year old 35mm slides back to life and the quality achieved. I have no hesitation in recommending Eric and his team."
Graham K., Hong Kong (Sep 2013)
"Very impressed with the quality and professionalism of the service provided especially with the tight time constraints given."
Michael A., Hong Kong (Aug 2013)
"- it was very fast. thanks.
- the thumbnail email was good, although it was a very big file (6mb) and some email programs might not be able to handle (my office will reject attachments bigger than 8mb).
- I really really liked the fact you gave two versions of the jpegs…original scan and edited scan. This is great. I did not get this when I had 300 images scanned over the summer with a company (https://digmypics.com) in the US (that took seven days).
- Scanning quality was good, colours generally very good and I could tell by comparing original scans to edited ones, you worked on the images. If, and only if, I could give constructive feedback, I would suggest that you should be careful of the white levels. On some of the edited scans, I found the whites a tad blown out with the detail gone. So I took the original and re-Photoshopped them myself (but note that I work with PS every day..it's my job). But this was only a small handful out of the 132 images. Overall I would take the edited versions you did since that saves me a lot of time.
- Although I wish there was a credit card option, I understand that's not possible. So direct transfer worked very well and you confirmed asap. thanks.
- Communication was great along each step of the way.
"
Richard B., Hong Kong (Aug 2013)
Thank you for your feedback. The white in the highlight area or black in shadow area may sometimes get blown out a little by our enhancement process to either make the image brighter or less wash out. It is a balance step we take to give the image a generally better look. In addition, we also provide Original Scans to preserve as much original photo information as possible, and client can edit these images according to personal needs.
Eric @ Good Time Photo Services
"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the really amazing job you have done on the photos. The enhanced versions are incredible given the faded state of most of the originals. You have secured so many memories, thank you. "
Richard D., Hong Kong (Aug 2013)
"Thank you very much and you did a marvelous job, the enhanced photos are great!"
Gwyneth S., Hong Kong (Aug 2013)

“I am delighted with the service: both very personal and very professional. The pick-up service is extremely helpfull and the return delivery quick. It was lovely to see those images for the first time after many many years. Thank you, and good luck with your business.”
Christine B., Hong Kong (Jun 2013)
“I had un-earthered a few photo albums containing my childhood pictures at my parent's home and I decided to have them scanned as soft copies for my keeping. I have approached a few film developing shops like Photomax and was surprised that they charge $9-$10 for each photo. After doing some research on the internet, I decided to engage Good Time Photo Services for this task. Overall, I was very satisfied with the services provided because 1) the price was very reasonable; 2) the scanning services was completed within a week and 3) most importantly, the original photos were returned to me in their original conditions. I will highly recommend this company to my friends in case they require the same services in the future. ”
Margery T., Hong Kong (Apr 2013)
“Eric, thanks very much for the great job you did with my photos. I tried several places in Hong Kong, but found no other company that worked as hard as you or showed the same attention to detail. I know that some of the older negatives had degraded somewhat, and you really worked hard to get the best possible result. And your prices were very competitive. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends.”
Tim M., Hong Kong (Apr 2013)
"Thanks Eric, my photos turned out great. Everything's digital now, no more dusty albums taking up space."
Moray S., Hong Kong (Mar 2013)
"After considering sending my photos to the U.S. for digitizing I luckily found Good Time Photo Services here in HK. They scanned close to 3,000 photos and negatives of mine. The quality of their work, their service, turnaround time and competitive pricing was impeccable."
Henning V., Hong Kong (Jan 2013)
"My husband recently unearthed some very old Kodak slides taken in the 1970's. I enquired when I was recently on a trip to Australia and the cost of having some 400 slides downloaded on to a disc was fairly steep. We then brought the slides back to Hong Kong and I went to two or three regular photo shops and each one told me they couldn't do it or that it would be very expensive. After a brief internet search I came across Good Time Photo Services. They not only transferred these slides and at a very reasonable price, the principal, Mr Eric Chu, even came and collected the slides, sent us a preview showing the original slide and the enhanced photo, and then returned them safely to us, in person. This whole process took around one week. We found the service to be exceptional and I cannot wait to recommend this company to our friends. And I love the name "Good Time Photo Services". It certainly was a positive experience all round."
