32. Do you know anyone who has a scanner?
Fri Oct 8, 2021, 09:19 AM
Oct 2021

Nowadays many desktop printers are also scanners. It's possible to scan photos, documents etc. and create a .jpg, which is a digitally created photo. So the .jpg scanned photos are (mostly) what we post on DU. Also copy shops such as Fedex will scan items and give you a .jpg which you'll need to transfer to your phone or a USB thumbdrive. (They might even email the .jpg to you.)

If you don't have a way to scan the photo, it's also possible to take a picture of it with your cellphone. The quality won't be as nice but maybe you can try that yourself?

Before you can post it on DU, the .jpg file (digital photo) must be saved on Google, Chrome or some other hosting website. Look in the "Community Help" section for pointers on how to do that. Once you have saved the .jpg (scanned photo) on the hosting site it's possible to share that photo on DU. I hope someone you know can help you do this, but maybe you can try it yourself.

Good luck my friend!
