🖼️ Drawing Scanning Services

At Data Solutions Group, we specialise in high-resolution drawing scanning and digital conversion for all types of drawings and plans. Whether your originals are on paper, linen, acetate, or other legacy media, our team delivers precise digital copies that preserve every detail. As a result, you can confidently use your drawings in modern workflows, archives, or active projects.

📐 Convert Drawings to Digital Formats

Our scanning service produces files in formats that suit your systems, including:

🗂️ TIFF
📄 PDF
🖼️ JPEG
🧮 Bitmap
🔧 Other formats on request

In addition, we provide flexible delivery options. Files can be sent via encrypted USB, secure email, or direct upload into your document management system. This way, your team gains immediate access, and integration with existing workflows becomes seamless.

🛠️ Image Enhancement & Restoration

We use advanced techniques to enhance and restore scanned drawings. For instance, our team:

🧼 Removes speckles, marks, and background noise
✏️ Sharpens faint lines and faded areas
🧾 Clarifies old or damaged plans

Consequently, digital copies often appear clearer than the originals, making them ideal for long-term archiving, printing, or active project use.

📚 Books and bound volumes
🖼️ Photographic records
⚠️ Health & Safety documentation
