Scanning Service
If you’ve ever struggled to find a document in flat drawers, tubes, or hanging files, you’re not alone. Oversized documents can be especially challenging to store and organize. Our large format scanning service eliminates these frustrations by converting your large format documents into a text-searchable digital archive.
Improve Accessibility
Quickly and easily locate and share documents using simple keyword searches. Scanned files are indexed and stored with metadata, allowing you to sort by name, date, job ID, or any other key identifiers you choose. Plus, you'll be able to access any file securely, from any physical location.
Save Time
Digitizing your large format documents makes it easy to find and share information with team members and clients. No more wasting time searching for the documents you need.
Prevent Deterioration
Blueprints and other large format documents are susceptible to fading and physical damage, especially with frequent handling. Digitizing these documents preserves a permanent record that can be accessed and shared without the risk of data loss.
Reclaim Office Space
Storing large format documents is a waste of valuable space, especially in your office where every square foot comes at a premium. Reduce your on-site paper storage needs and put that space to better use, whether for productive tasks or a new pinball machine.
Archive
If you need to retain large format documents for an extended period, scanning and storing digital copies is the most efficient way to do it. Digital data can be stored and backed up in multiple locations with little to no additional cost.
Centralize Your Documents
Keep your records organized by adding new documents directly into a centralized digital system, such as cloud storage or a document management platform. This ensures all your files are stored securely and easily accessible in one place.

With a project that needed the highest quality, we were unsuccessful with prior document imaging service providers, working with SecureScan allowed us to preserve public records safely and efficiently.
The use of sophisticated scanning and imaging software and processes has made us a more efficient operation, allowing us to reallocate space for part-time staff with zero construction costs.

Common Questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked large format scanning questions.
Whats kind of documents are considered large format?
Any document larger than the two standard paper sizes (8.5″ x 11 legal size, 8.5″ x 11 letter size) is considered to be a large format document.
A few typical examples of large format documents includes:
- Architectural blueprints
- Engineering diagrams/drawings
- Large non-standard book pages
- Newspaper sheets
- Maps
- Schematics
The main reason for the “large format document” distinction is the need for special scanning and printing equipment when working with oversized documents.
What Are Special Considerations to Make When Scanning Large Format Documents?
Large-format documents usually need to be removed from tubes or racks and loaded into the scanner individually, so the process of scanning large format documents can take a bit longer. These oversized sheets also require careful handling to avoid any rips or tears during scanning.
How Large of a Document Can You Scan?
We can scan documents up to 60 inches in width or length, accommodating large formats such as ANSI E and ARCH E documents.
What Is the Best Format for Scanning Large Format Documents?
The best formats for scanning and storing large format documents are PDF (Portable Document Format) and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). Both offer high image quality, searchable metadata, and wide compatibility.
Choosing between PDF and TIFF depends on your specific needs, such as image quality, file size, and document content. Read more about the differences between PDF and TIFF files.
